Do you like Shogun 2: RotS? I think you should! Try to use the trash units - they got no stats to speak of, and abysmal morale. One thing they can do is surround other trash units and by their positioning alone precipitate chain routs. Perhaps it's training mode for game mechanics - all bonuses and maluses, all movement and positioning and envelopment. Here, take a look at this early game face-off between my citizens' raising and an AI force of 3 mounted samurai, but mostly levy filler, ensconced in a really strong defensive position. I don't even try to engage uphill, I make a fist and punch through their flank on the flattest terrain - just enough to affect a breach, surround, and boom, chain rout.
