I quite agree. I was suggesting the feudal horse culture were the same sort of thugs (by and large) as the mafia, masquarading as honour.

Ok, luckily I just got you wrong. No offense.

Is there any chance of improving the response time of cavalry to orders, it's a problem of M2TW that really bugs me. You'll order a unit to move off in a direction and they'll take ages to get moving and sometimes get all strung out instread of keeping coheison.
I swear sometimes my cavalry will take 10 to 15 secs to "get going" which can be very frustating if your light horse is about to be charged by plate armoured knights.

I realise this is most likley a hardcoded part of the engine

but it would be nice if anything could be done to improve the situation.

Eh? You mean after they attack in regular M2TW? I think alot of the unit cohesion problems were addressed in Kingdoms.

That especially but in general they seem to "dither" alot more when a move order is issued, like the individual horsemen are trying to sort their formation before moving. Suppose its actually quite realistic as i doubt even the best cavalry arm could do a 180 turn very quickly.

Just got kingdoms the other day but haven't had a chance to try it out properly yet (damn EB for making anthing vanilla so boring) so maybe it will fix this niggle.
