Combat tactics for more than one army

[hnr]

Hi,

Since Marius update (really good update btw even if I am not a fan of the new UI, I would prefer something far mor epic), I wonder how the combat tactics work for battle with multiple armies.
Before, the tactic selected was the one used by the most skilled general. So it was possible to change the result of the fight by joining the army of your best general after the beginning of the combat and so adapt the tactics to have better result.
Now I still did not understand what is the one used, it seems pretty random and ... not fun.
If someone knows how the tactic is selected please share
I am using 6k (legion size) for my legions and I have ... many legions ^^ and I have the issue very frequently.

My understanding is that the logic of tactic choice is now determined by what general commands the largest army.

This is correct

Thank you very much

And when they have the same size ? What is the one taken ?

Playing Germanic tribes and using hordes of Levies I tend to believe it’s still the most skilled general who decides the tactic.
