Sufficent Army/Navy composition (v1.33)

[finmise]

What is your favourite one?
The developers like current warfare so we need to scrutinize it.

• Early, Mid, Late ones separately of course..
• I mainly ask for western and horde.
• There is not "a best" for every occasion so you should share your experiences and suggestions.

1x CW of infantry for all stacks
add 1x CW of artillery as many times, as you think you can afford sieging down stuff at the same time

I normally fill it with Inf to it's CW, then add as much artillery as I can sustain. Also, I never used to do this, I am now adding maybe 5-6 cav units per stack too.

I also like to sometimes just death stack with 60K stacks, not optimal but it makes the AI run away whenever I move it to any position, quite funny.

This might be why people are complaining about Ottos so much. I don't think many people (myself sometimes included) understand division layouts very well for EU4.

"march divided, fight united"

it's all about combat width and supply, the latter is usually lower, so I do 2-3 half stacks which merge for battle, in good supply I may use 2 2/3 CW stacks.
Multiple pairs of half stacks with arty, can siege multiple provinces, when there is no immediate threat of doomstack AI.

I'm yet to master fort assaults, they are brutal
