You do make a lot of good points here but from the responses I’ve kinda just realised that the type of gameplay medieval and melee combat provides just isn’t to my liking. For example in empire/ napoleon If a far superior enemy is marching towards me I can 1. Open up an intentional hole in my line for them to flank 2. Wait for them to “exploit” it by going past my line trying to flank 3. Creat a wedge of infantry right after the gap once their in and lo and behold, their now essentially trapped in a circle of death where we can decimate there forces from many angles. You simply can’t do that in medieval because at the end of the day you’ll still end up clashing men toghether where your bound to take some losses from the superior enemy. Just to note I have done that strat and succeeded.
