During combat, each flank gets a combat tactic selected:

  • Eligibility: conditions based on phase, flank commander traits, and/or flank composition specify whether a given tactic is eligible (based on entire army size).
  • Weight: each eligible tactic gets a base weight which makes it more or less likely to be selected.
  • Modifiers: base weight is modified (multiplied and stackable) based on flank commander and/or flank composition and proportion of a unit among the same kind of units:
    • Skirmish units = Archers + Light cavalry + Horse archers + Camel Cavalry
    • Melee units = Heavy infantry + Pikemen + Heavy cavalry
    • Tactics involving Light Infantry or War Elephant compare the number to the entire army size.
    • For eligibility horse archers and camel are added to light cavalry statistics. Elephants are added to heavy cavalry. So you can have heavy cavalry charge fire with only elephants.
  • Selection: a tactic is selected randomly among the weighted eligible tactics.
  • Effect: selected tactic runs for a fixed tactic-specific number of days (even if combat phase changes) and brings a damage modifier to units.
  • Affinity: Tactics have an asymmetrical offensive/defensive tactic affinity which gives a bonus when matched. Note: the attacker's tactical affinity bonus applies to the tactic used on the previous day by the defender.

  • Skirmish
  • Light Cavalry 5%
  • Horse Archers < 50%

One of the following:

  • Light Cavalry <45%
  • Light Cavalry <75% and Martial 12 or above

The Light Cavalry (Light Cavalry units, Camel Cavalry, and Horse Archers) percentage is relative to the entire flank. Harass can fire with 5% (relative to the entire flank) Camel Cavalry (or Horse Archers) and no Light Cavalry units. (Disorganised Harass is used if the Light Cavalry percent is too high.)

Tactic light cavalry.png Disorganised Harass Tactic 18 Harass
  • Skirmish
  • Horse Archers < 50%

One of the following:

  • Light Cavalry 40% AND (Martial <12 OR no leader)
  • Light Cavalry 75%

(If flank has leader with Martial 12 it triggers at 75% Light Cavalry, otherwise it triggers at 40% Light Cavalry.)

  • 1.5 – Martial 16, Light Infantry 40%, Archers 20% of all skirmish units

The Light Infantry check is probably a bug. It's being compared to the total number of skirmish units but is not a skirmish unit itself.
