Well, I must have been confused about the unit sizes, but in vanilla and in EB I was pretty under the impression that the cavalry was unstoppable in huge settings (remembering the slaughter that was one battle with catanks)

And now they we're all new campaigns started with 1.2, and yes I read that thread. the know impostor bug was somewhere here in this forum, as in if you by accident put your FM or general in settlement different than it was supposed to, you would get the impostor trait, however if you put him to govern in the right settlements you couldn't put to use his bonuses (concerning the type of province he was ruling), and so if you made one mistake, well you kind off lost him for governing something.
