I'm totally late to the party and only picked up this game a week ago. Been playing around, finally getting the hang of things (cos like all Paradox game, it takes 1000 deaths before you know what your doing I find XD)
Trampling is escaping me. I've read instead of selecting a unit, I am meant to select beyond a unit and my knights/cavalry will simply run through the unit. Well, that is more difficult then it seems, as they always seem to run out the way.
However, even when I get the positioning right and do manage to catch the unit.. they don't trample through. They just engage in combat. I figured maybe the problem was catching the unit at the centre and that i needed to just catch a side or corner. This is even more difficult to excute, but again, no trample through.
So what am I missing. I'm guessing either its not possible to charge a unit in close formation (as the only people whom seem be in horde are the archers whom nearly always end up dying in the opening archer skirmish and so don't get charged.
I've read alot of stuff saying how awesome mounted units are in the game (Although, not as good as archers XD) but at the moment I seem to be purely using them to quickly get VLs or to catch an army that decides to not fight but waste my time running away.
