Would you say an empire dwarf numerically equal battle puts the empire in disadvantage? Or is it an army composition thing. So what you're saying is swordsmen against dwarf ain't too useful?
Well, basically against any factions. Empire plays much like the other total war games before as they're human faction. In any case, during the early period (before turn 80-90) it's better use to find trade partners and non-aggression pact. If you have to go to war with anyone, just go to war until you can have peace treaty. You will need alliances by the time Chaos comes down (around 90 turn) so even if you go to war with Dwarfs now, don't totally destroy them.
In terms of army composition, I usually have 8 spears, 4 swords, 2 heroes (captain and wizard which got for free after completing quest), reiksguard (the starting one) and the rest missile.
Even when you're attacking, just move your army until missile range then stop. Once you're in misile range, the AI will move towards you and just defence. If you can use magic just use them to buff your centre or where the action took place. Use reiksguard first to take out the AI missle/arttilery the do the hammer/anvil tactic.
Usually spearmen (including halberdiers when you can recruit them) in the centre while swords in the flank.
Don't know whether that still apply to other factions though. May start Dwarfs faction tonight, or maybe continue with Empire until after raya when hopefully my new pc can be ready.
