Field of Glory II Tactics Guide — Maneuver, Flanks & Generals

Field of Glory II is won by maneuver as much as by combat: deploy well, control the flanks, fight on terrain that suits you, and use your generals and reserves to tip key clashes. This tactics guide turns the combat rules into a battle plan you can carry into any matchup. You will learn how to deploy and anchor a line, win the all-important flank battle, support your troops with second lines, get the most from your generals, and pick an army whose strengths fit the way you want to fight.

Field of Glory II Troop Types Tier List — Best Units Ranked

Field of Glory II is built on a rock-paper-scissors of troop types, so no unit is simply "best" — but some are far more reliable and central to a strong army than others. This tier list ranks the major troop types by overall battlefield value: how dependably they anchor an army and win their fights. You will learn why heavy foot, pikemen and cataphracts top the list, where cavalry, spearmen and skirmishers fit, and how to read the tiers as guidance, not gospel.

You will learn to read the odds the game shows you, win by flanking and cohesion rather than casualties, and pick the simple armies that make the easiest start.

Field of Glory II Combat Guide — Impact, Melee & Cohesion

Combat in Field of Glory II runs on a clear logic once you see it: units clash in an impact phase then a melee phase, points of advantage decide the odds, and the real target is cohesion — morale and order — not casualties. Break a unit's cohesion and it routs, whatever its numbers. This guide explains impact versus melee, how cohesion drops and breaks, why points of advantage, flanking and quality matter, and how to read the on-screen odds to fight only the clashes you can win.
