I have a problem with there being no effective unit to attack cavalry in MP. Sure halbreds have a bonus to attack cav but their low morale makes them worthless out there on the flanks where most cav battles take place.
Chiv Foot Knights dont have the morale problem but they are way to slow to be effective attackers and they can be easily charged from the back by a quick run-a-round.
Fixing either problem would force more counters in the game to be necessary like swords vs. halbreds. This would in turn open up cav vs. sword counters, which I hardly see today. No longer would cavalry be solely positioned on the far flanks only to be used after the initial conflict has subsided and both cavalry forces signifigantly reduced.
