Then I got bored on how overpowered the HorseArcher is with proper micromanagement and crappy AI, so I sent them to Sicily as a 40 unit strong garrison army against Cartage. :D
You should try them against their own kind and see if you're still laughing after. :D

I did what you did as the Romans and loved it. Then I thought I could try my silver chevroned HAs against Sauromatae and regretted it. :\ Lost a full quarter against a mixed army involving Cat HAs half my size.
