I've always wanted to get into this game, and I understand literally everything except for combat. Even if I have a numerically superior force, rngsus still makes me lose :(

a lot of it depends on modifers from terrain (never attack into mountains.. wait for them to come to you and THEY get the negative modifer.

also army composition. a lot of it is guess work but i think general consensus is you should have your army width in infantry (plus 2-3 more for reinforcing the front line), 3-4 cavalry, and your army width in cannons. of course you don't have to go with cannons in your main army and just keep stacks of 8 infantry/4 cannons for sieging forts.
