    You're charging from too close by and the unit isn't yet "readied" for the charge, or somesuch. You can tell it is from the soldiers, you know, lowering their lances.

    Basically, Doing It Wrong. IIRC there was a "how to use cavalry" thread once, anyone have the link ?

    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    Jebivjetar, find the thread that Watchman mentions here. It is an excellent guide to using cavalry, authored by Ibrahim.

    Ok. I will try to reformulate my first question

    Sacred band cavalry seems to behave in a strange way. While all other cavalry point their spears at the enemy few seconds before engagement, Sacred band cavalry does not do that. Sacred band cavalry charges with their spears up and put them (the spears) down too late (when melee has already started): i believe their charge suffers because of that.
