More difficulty (variation strategy) in large battle?
I think developer need to add difficulty option for battle, i mean for large battle, like oppnent commander have variation strategy to attack or defend. I think i always battle just attack directly and won, IMO this is boring.
What do you think?

you can always play only with recruits or max T3-units... or max 100 units in your party to increase the game difficulty

i read this every time and after 10 pages of discussion/opinions the guy opened the post made the very unimportant comment, that he always play on lowest game difficulty...

U can always play with 1 hand or with ur eyes closed aswell.Ai having different tactics is required to enjoy battles in long run anyway.

Do you F3 charge or do you F6 and let commanders run your army?

I play on Bannerlord setting and large battles can go either way for me and my fully leveled armies.

1, F2, F5
2, F2, F3
3, F1, F2
4, F6

That’s my usual winning tactic. Placement on the field varies with environment.

Realistic Battle Mod, with the AI enhancement. Then you can also use the Kaoses Tweaks mod and increase the faction balancing of all factions but you, increase "recruitment quality" by like 50%. I also use the VolunteersUp mod so enemies have no recruits in their parties, and they will get a lot of t3s from their recruitment.

For added difficulty, I have also turned on "Leadership grants exp" part of that mod, turned it up really high and then turned up the global rate at which AI lords gain leadership, set it to only kick on at 151 Leadership, and cap myself at 150 so I still get some of the perks and morale without getting that extra daily exp.

With only charge i can win the battle, even my army outnumbered. What i write and wonder is opponent strategy, do you feel they always charge, no different tactics or formation

I don't know if it is updated or not, I am still running on 1.6.0

so "thats not the point" ?!?

lower the unit-quality in your own party is not the point.
but increase the quality of all units from other lords with mods is a "good point"?

My bad, i dont know that mod use to. Well, the main thing is i want see enemy commander use variety strategy/ formation, not just charge to my troop directly.

+1

we all want a "good AI" in every game, i understand what u want.
but a good AI maybe could win every battle, and we would be frustrated, dont like the game.
(in chess AI is much better today then human)

so this is very hard to balance in every game and need very much time.

yeah, sometime need to challenge the AI system, but if frustate, just lower the difficulty for enjoy the game

They rarely charge me all out, unless it’s a low-lvl/skill lord. I see a lot of shield wall walking from Sturgia and Skolderbroda with harass from their Calvary. Battania makes Bow walls.

I get a guaranteed charge from Looters and bandit armies.

What difficulty are you playing on? Freebooter?

If I all out charge an army, my Calvary gets torn apart by their ranged units and my infantry has to run a mile to catch up and die as well. I have to use formations and patience. That’s why I ask about the difficulty you’re playing on.
