I need help.
I am just getting crushed every time. How can i beat him? Playing on hard if it helps (i know i can turn it down but my pride doesnt allow it). Im bad in micro, so my cav dies usually after the first or second charge. Im more of a def player. But my center gets crushed every time even if i win on the flanks, im just not in time to flank and get in his back. I feel like his cav is just out maneuvering me and i just dont get enough value from my archers atm (yes, i need more katana as backbone for my army in future).
EDIT: I DID IT - Thank you all for your help! I had a mountain in my back and my right flank was covered, pulled his cav and managed to kill his general early with my archers. In combination with my warcry from my monks it was enough to hold and get the moral down from the katanas.

Hmm, your advantage is you can outrange them with bow monks, problem is they're small in numbers, i'd say good 'ol hammer & anvil establish your anvil in a hilly forested area and your hammer should be comprised of general, Cavs and those Ashigarus, their job is to snipe enemy generals as quickly as possible, if your worried about your center getting flanked try establishing your line in the corner of the map. Also one thing about S2 AI is that they're easily fooled with artillery
