Something cavalry really needs in a patch

[pdoyle007]

I've had good success with my cavalry on the fringes of the maps taking out the native american tribes and some Indian units, especially when they are large in number but under powered (using the TW2 method of grouping units together and attacking flank or rear.

I haven't tried against the European big boys but I have taken a decent amount of provinces which means my income is up and when I start to recruit more infantry my tech will be higher

I have had my General killed while walking along a line of stakes?? His unit was moving into position to flank an enemy when his unit passed by a line of stakes(not going through the stakes but along the length of the line) and half of the unit died including my General. GGrrrrr. I would have thought that the line could simply have split to go around the stakes and not try to go through them.

Another thing:

Playing multiplayer, my opponent flanked me with his cavalry. However, I thought I was well-protected, as I charged his line infatry who were behind a wall of stakes. So, there was the enemy's wall of stakes protecting the whole rear of my infantry. Despite this, the enemy cavalry charged right through their own stakes without suffering any casualties, and broke my infantry.



What is this?! Stakes should hurt all charging cavalry, including allied ones. Stakes are just pieces of wood in the ground, and should have no understanding of the differences between friend and foe.

Hmmm. Stakes just seem really bugger.

Cavalry charge over and done with? Hmmm I guess no one told Napoleon
