Terrain, composition of units, correct formations and planning will ensure victory. When the battle is over, you are given statistics of how many men were captured, killed, etc, and the level ends.
Your first task as a commander is preparation. Your army consists of four types of soldiers: archers, barbarians, knights and spies. Spies move very quickly and can see far, but are useless in a fight.
Your barbarians move quickly and use a melee attack, knights are slower with a stronger attack, and archers are very slow movers with a ranged attack. In an ideal world, you would have a mix of all these units. Barbarians kill archers, knights kill barbarians, well-placed archers kill both, while poorly-placed archers get killed. Your units' placement is determined by selecting a formation; there are nine default ones, ranging from scattering troops randomly around the battlefield to lines, boxes and so on.
Each formation has its advantages for a certain makeup of troops. As well as a standard attacking formation for ideal situations, you need formations that can compensate for the lack of archers, barbarians or knights. If you only have one spy, place him in a good position for an easy retreat. Barbarians do best at the front. Archers who have people in front of them cannot fire at the enemy. In addition to the default formations, there is a very good "Train Formations" function in the "Make Changes" menu.
I recommend using this function once you become familiar with how the game operates. In this screen, you train your soldiers where to stand when attacked or attacking. You must delete a default formation in order to save a new one. Once you go to war, you choose your mission. Every mission has many variables such as whether villages will supply the troops with food and the number of obstacles such as bodies of water and mountains.
The variables are set by default by the designer of the mission, but modifying these defaults will change the mission's level of difficulty. Once the mission has been selected, you can choose the opposing commander. Every mission has a default commander, but again the difficulty can be changed depending on who you select. Every commander uses unique tactics, which directly affects how each mission is played.
In the battlefield view, you decide where your troops move, see their condition and put them into groups. There can be a maximum of fourteen men in any one group. If you march your men fast, their food runs out faster, and their condition goes down. Once their condition goes down, they move slowly and fight poorly.
