I didn't even know you played the Alexander expansion

@Recruitsoldier indeed, if possible use your strongest cav to do the frontal charge. make their line longer than the other cavs to make sue they're completley surrounded.

[Recruitsoldier]

@Legitimatemuffins Yeah but you do have the dilemma of how many cav you charge into the front. I used the outflanking tactic in R:TW with 4 Roman Cavalry and was facing 2 Companions. I charged with 2 Roman cav and ran around their flanks with the other 2, but since my first 2 Roman cav was already weak, they routed before I could surround the Companions. My remaining cav finished the job, but I did lose 2 cav units.

@chrsplnc its not too hard to rout large numbers of horesemen. all you have to do is charge one into their front to bog them down and order your other horses to flank and charge them in the back.

@paulinethegreat1 I remember that tactic, when he opened a path in the middle of his lines for the chariots, and then surrounded them with his infantry. You'd have to be pretty quick to act if you were to do that in Rome: Total War.

[chrsplnc]

ok....this is why the POM is actually a really smart and good player...he had three units of horsemen...while the enemy had a crap load....and yet...HE STILL WINS THE FREAKIN CAV FIGHT

FUCK THE GAME

@TheRonalducho You can't play it in 11, it doesn't support it. If you have 11 it should run in the appropriate version.
