Normans lost=0, Normans fled=0, shield walls=0, boar`s snout=0, Taunts=0, charges=0, hand-to-hand=0 and archery=4063. Vikings lost=4063 and vikings fled=2264. I won by using only archers :) army morale in the end was still 100.

you know you play this game to much when at the end of a custom hard large battle ends in you have 70 moral and beating the other army in all 8 ending stats[btw WTF DOES HAND-TO-HAND MEEN?... whole regiments killed in melee?] also killed about 150 in an arrow shower... 5 groups stacked right in my archer lane at close to max range, one men at arms fled

methods that work for me with each army... ENGLISH there spear men are the weakest in the game so I use 2 and put them both on each side on the map to flank an already fighting force[outflank bonus] and I use bore snout formation for 3 of my 5 huscares so they have an upgraded attack with out the movement penalty of the shield wall while the other 2 are on the edge of the map in fount of my spears. VIKINGS similar to my English army strategy but I use my spears more aggressively because they have ok stats for combat vs other spears[or flanking]NORMAN 5 cavs to charge what ever is on the front of the other army and then run away as they are not that great in prolonged combat. As for men at arms I have then right behind my cavs so they can clean up the mess of my cav charges and spear men are flankers usually.

Men! Call them mean names and they will retreat.
Don't get me wrong-awesome game 5/5, but even kindergarten kids can fare better against names than these guys.

@Mohammed3570 Maybe, but I thought the best thing about the English was their effectiveness with Shield Wall even with the Spear Militia. The Normans IMO have the strongest archers.

wish they can add the combination of units (if the units are weak they can have some of their soldiers back by combining)

King: "Attack!" Rival King:"Taunt them!" Rival Englishmen: "YOU VIKINGS ARE FILTHY PIGS!" Vikings:"Retreat!" King:"What The heck! Why did you retreat" Vikings:There,There John It was just a joke. Sir they were shouting names at us!" King:Oh bloody nora! *Facepalm*

Almost 4,000 bloodthirsty Vikings fled from the battlefield in shame when the English called them "Pig Filth".....
Seems legit.

My team was screwed we hadn't destroyed any armies and we had but a fourth of our men the obvious choice would have been to retrat and hope our archers were enought to give us a slight advantage but this is 1066 not real war so i taunted them turn after turn.
it started off seeming worthlesss then their strongest army couldnt take being called cowards or beastly traitor so they retreated then one by one they all retreated
the morrale of this story is when you seem like you are going to lose the battle dont be afraid to call the opposition "cowards"

So frustrating when you have two troops to their one and your about to win and they call you a puss wound and everyone runs away.
