I suppose Baldur’s Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just “recent” release you are waiting for to get at the moment?

    Mount & Blade II is frustrating for me. I’m just not good enough at the combat to play on the front lines and I’m a shit commander trying to organize my troops in battle.

    Basically i just play the exploration and management side and auto-resolve the combats :/

        Actually I’m half decent at one on one and the small melees. But once it’s a ‘real’ fight I get so sweaty palmed lol

        Maybe I should try a console controller instead of mouse & kb?

          I never tried it with a controller it seems like that would make it harder to manage your army. As for the bigger fights I usually try to get my army positioned first with my archers on a hill or across a river or something from them and then put my infantry in front of the archers to block them. Then I lead my Calvary to go provoke the enemy to come at them. Usually that works pretty well or at least lets me put a big dent in their calvary which gives you a decent advantage when they don’t have one because you can get behind them and wreck their archers.

          This strategy works most of the time with minimal casualties
