the most annoying thing in this game..

[robwarrior]

Archers that are the last unit and just keep running

[Sceptique]

- Get a war horse and +100% speed to all allies
- Get an archer with slowing attack
- (Not tested yet) capture a capitain with inspiration and recruit her

[robwarrior]

also the games a tad too hard

[Ghost Robertson]

It is a bit hard sometimes like taking on that Ghost pack, But with the archers running away, You need to time it so you end your turn as close as possible to them and then start the next turn.

Also some of the attacks can just be used to gain ground if you have nothing to attack.

yo i bet one of the ghost packs with the mythical deer thing. But in a recent battle i lost one of my key crew and idk if i can recover

I kill the archers first, if the enemy troop has a leader buff, I'll kill the leader, then the archers, then anyone else.

You are 100% right
You have described 99% of the combat scenarios in the game. I'm talking squad against squad. Champions and arenas (the 1% that sometimes makes you wonder) are slightly different.
Commander / archers (only if fire) -> then all enemies (because without a commander and an archer they are not dangerous).

If only we could save our game before combat...

Sounds like you're doing good, being a tad hard just makes it more fun imo.

your not building your characters strong enough (movement and constitution)besides the perks. a ranger with good movement can run down most archers pretty quick. and they don't need to be tanks once your engaged with them. ghost packs and rats you really shouldn't start till everyone is 3rd level. weapons and armor.
after that they are pretty easy

[Flavalicious]

You don't even need to kill the leader giving the inspiration bonus, just get them locked into an engagement.

Mac makes a good point as well, in this game Movement (and willpower to 12) are 2 seriously important things that you'd often skip over in similar games in favour of raw dps. You want your rangers around 14-15 movement and everyone else in your troop at 12 at least. Theres also a skill book you can find (or buy) that lets you upgrade a companions skills, Your First LT has a riposte skill that when upgraded gives all unengaged allies double movement for a turn. Pretty handy for sticky situations like the last enemy alive being an archer ;)

I hate then too, I play with no rangers so cant chase that much, what I do is trying to engage them as fast as posible positioning at start some unit near to him,
But if they are out of range they become boring, fortunately the AI is not too cunning and it often happens that they kill themselves by falling into some trap, poison, fire etc.
