Pursuit, skirmishers

Post by Papiak »

Hello,

1. Do reserve units (3rd and subsequent rows) participate in the pursuit stage of the battle? It’s a bit unclear what exactly happens during that stage.

2. It seems that archers are always deployed first among support units, even when there are superior units like horse archers in the army. Horse archers have 9 ranged attack and ranged defense, while archers have 8 ranged attack. Additionally, horse archers have a flanking modifier of 3. This means you can’t keep spare archers in your army because they will always replace horse archers. Which parameter determines the deployment order of skirmisher units?

Regards,
MG

2. I got the answer that it was the strongest units that got placed first, which is different from best ranged rating.
