Thanks but i'm already familiar with the steppe tactics (best victory: 1 ha's and 1 fm against 700 infantry 250 cav. on med. hard) but the reason i posted was to know the differnces between ha's and raiders or riders, not really shure, anyway wich is better as far as arrow range is concerned and also what about armoured ha's wich i still don't have are they worth the expense or should i just keep hiring riders\ha's?
