So I am struggling to make sense of the combat. The "pentagon" thingy is kinda confusing and I can't make heads of tails of it.
Two things...
I did a battle with the enemy was all casters/mages... so I used archers cuz they're strong against casters... I lost nearly EVERYTHING to win (squad sizes were 100 vs 102- barely outnumbered). I won, but had most of the last unit destroyed. Someone trying to help me make sense of combat said "If you used swords it would have been better."
So how do I know this from the pentagon?! Archers AND Swords are strong against casters. How do I know which is "lesser" and "greater" strong against?!

There was a battle in this past tourney, where I used archers cuz they were strong against the enemy, and I got WASTED (see images for these). Someone suggested a 3-2 split of Archers and Sorceress units, cuz they're both strong vs the enemy... Again, wasted. Squad sizes 100 for me, 102 for them. So how does this happen?!
The ppl helping said the only thing they could think of would be "terrain" that made my stronger vs the enemy units lose, and lose kinda badly. The game doesn't tell you "terrain" modifiers... How can I possibly prepare for that if there's NO WAY to know?! And, if "strong vs" is completely eradicated and thrown out the window by hidden "terrain" modifiers... what the heck good IS the pentagon thingy (even if I DO learn to make sense of it)?!
