Best formations?

[Malus]

Please correct me on what is better

I do
Shield Wall for Infantry
Spread out for Archers
Triangle (wedge) for cavalry

That's pretty much my default when I'm advancing against another infantry line. Though I use square alot, and put my archers between 2 infantry squares, so that they're a tercio. with pikes/polearms just behind them so that they can switch places easily on cav charge

Also, If you want to counter cav charges with archers, I recommend f2 f5 (square). By making them densely packed, it makes it harder for the cav to plow through your units.

If I'm facing horse archers, First thing I do is put infantry in skein formation and put my archers behind them, with cav on either side, when they try to loop around my infantry, I cut off their escape and move the other flank to kill them.

I use square sometimes for cavalry but not enough.

That Skein idea to help counter Horse archers is good. I will try that. Thank you

false gap all the way

The game isnt really complicated, in most fights there is enough to order the charge and its done.
If the enemy are stronger - to stay somewhere at the safe position at the corner of the map and wait till enemy are killed by your ranged troops.
Oh, I forgot - the main thing in the game is the choice of the good ratio of right units for the army.

I like to make a shield wall on a lower position and put the archers behind on higher ground. Then F1 F2 for my archer cavalry and spear cavalry. We ride behind the enemy. And when the enemy hits the shildwall F1 F3. So the cavalry hits the enemys back and the infantry blocks it while archers shooting both all sides.
