Units fight most effectively against an enemy that is directly in front of them troops will take more casualties and their leadership level will suffer when attacked in the flank or rear. The best practice is to control high-ground to give you an overview of the battlefield. Hills and other terrain features that block the enemy’s line-of-sight can also be used to conceal units – an army, including your own, must have line-of-sight to an enemy in order for it to be visible.
Most units can hide in forests, meaning they can launch a surprise attack without the enemy knowing of their location. This is especially effective for missile cavalry, as their fast pace allows them to shoot the enemy and skirmish away before they can take any melee damage, and then fire another round. They will also have Skirmish Mode enabled, this means they will keep themselves at a safe distance from the enemy and not engage in melee. You can leave this button enabled most of the time, unless you wish to specifically target a certain enemy unit. However, constantly reloading and firing will both tire your troops and use up their ammunition quickly, but not necessarily wisely. Missile units will fire-at-will automatically, meaning they fire at enemies in range as they see fit.
