That is pretty cool Liam.
If he'd let you keep the sword dojo, I'd have risked an uphill assault in your position, but I can be recklessly aggressive at times. I might even have risked the assault when I saw him move his general out of position, trying to tie him up with the light cav, and forgo the archer dojo.
Your Yari Samurai lost to the Loan Sword Ashigaru because they received a downhill charge, and were unsupported. I think only warrior monks could've really stood up to that.
Oh, but what really hurt you wasn't so much the loose formation as it was receiving the charge without counter-charging. If you'd have counter charged his melee units, I don't think he would've routed you quite so easily, and you could've turned one of the flanks.

Ah, I didn't see the start of your counter-charge. That was the only real significant advice I could give, since you did fight well and it was a close thing.

Yes, they were in the open, capturing the dojo, it would have been worth the casualties, which is why he had to attack.
As for the cavalry, I think you are wrong. The wedge formation increases damadge, including melee, The only problem with wedge is that it's hard to turn. And even if it was better, engaging the enemy then messing around with formation would just make me lose.
The only reason I lost the second cavalry charge was because I attacked a Yari Cavalry with Light Cav, and it was a close call too, proving the efectiveness of the wedge.
Anyway, I apreciate the tips and everything, but it would look totally diferent from my point of view. Obviously he wants to make it look like he fought really good.

Well my way works for me. 1 unit still beat 2 units using it, and the other was an anti-cav so I would have lost either way.

Finally! Somebody that uploads their defeat videos! I hate the way most only upload their epic victories when they probably lose most of them.
I want to start uploading mine, how do you record them? Do you use the full version of Fraps?
