Diffuculty settings & army composition
Is this mod harder than vanilla?
The AI seem's really aggressive, it turns into a rush to grow faster than them (this is quite challenging & I like it).

I would like to get some advises for the army composition too.
From what I know from historical armies:

-first line should be archers/skirmishers to harrass the infantry (break their shields) & kill skirmishers
-second line are light inexperienced infantry, to sustains casualties & tiredness.
-third line are often heavy experienced infantry, used to reinforce the line if needed & strike hard when the ennemy is tired.
-finally, cavalry is covering/attacking the flanks.

As the game only allow 2 lines + flanks, what should I pick?
For now I set the first line to be archers, second line to be spearmen & skirmishers to the flanks (if I don't have acces to chariot nor cavalry, otherwise: skirmisher/spearmen/cavalry).

Am I doing things correctly ?
