yeah, but it's been a long time since I last played it.

I'd honestly just get Attila. It's the exact same thing but better everything.

3 rules to getting good though

1. Don't get flanked

2. Know the basic rules. Spears = defending and beat horses, swords = attacking and pushing, arches = good at flanks/rear

3. The preparation for a battle is usually the deciding factor. Just have a competent force and make sure you're not outnumbered. Look up some general tips too.

An old battle tactic I used for when one of my cities were beseiged and thoroughly outnumbered would have a unit of cavalry like the general's body guard run around the outskirts of the city, dragging the enemy's units around the towers.

Sounds like you're doing well. Yes, a key tip to any Total War game, is to be friends with someone who's between you and your enemies. Good buffer states.
