I think that Bohemia is cehoslovakia and they in early time have a good country and army so you must just make much more army then Bohemia... Look if you can make three or four armies and attack from all directions and when you stand at their province them not be able make army. What does the general concern attack him with at least double army size, you maybe shall token some loan to does this mission!!! Good luck... :wacko:

It's Jan Žižka (Zizka if the diakritics will not work). General of Hussites. In battle he lost an eye and most of his portraits are with sash over it. He was a great strategist. If he want to awoid enemy cavalry from battle, he led his army to a swamp through save paths and enemies, which didn't know them, were too demoralized when they reached hussites. Hussites most powerful weapon was wagons. If hussite army was attecked, they made a circuit from Wagons and turnd them to a side-wall, so they had a really good barrier.
Hussite army was poor and their weapons were made from a village-tools, flails etc. Hussites modiffied tools a bit and the result was a weapon which were in much cases better than ordinary spears, because they were more moveable.
In later battle Žižka lost his second eye. But as blind he was as good as before. He has good imagination so the soldiers described him the battlefield and he could command.
Hussite army was known over the whole Europe as undefeatable in that time!
Hussites had two fractions: radicals and modests. Radicals wage the war and the modests stood in seclusion. But at the end of hussite era modests turned to enemies and undefeateble hussites were defeated.
Capital of hussites was city Tábor in south bohemia.
Don't even bother engaging Bohemia's armies. Even with a considerable size advantage their leaders are so good they'll win. Its better to avoid their armies. Usually they go for Austria and Hungary so shouldn't be too hard. If they do invade your country go around them and besiege a couple of their provinces. The ai typically only attacks one place at a time so weither you will capture twice as many provs as them or they will abandon the siege to fight back. Should they do that then just out manourvre them.
The best way is to sick them on another target; Hungarian, Polish, or Austrian allies can prove invaluable. Beyond that you can try to outflank them and seige 2 or 3 for 1. Sometimes seiging the capital will cause them to lift their seiges. Otherwise you will need terrain and drasticly superior troops. Over the river onto plains against pure cav might do it.
