Something about Roundshiers... And something about Blocking...

As you have read Roundshiers are rubbish.This is proven because 10 roundshiers can be beaten by 4 peasants! Though make  30 of them at the very moment you can make them and send them straight out into the enemy's town. This should eliminate most of the peasants and take over the buildings.

Now, If you don't want to DESTROY a building or even CAPTURE it send out about 20 pikemen and 5 officers next to the exit of the building (i.e. where the units come out) this will eliminate them as they come out. Oh, yes a couple of 18th Century Dragoons would be good too!
