An Idea for Dismounting Cavalry Before Battle

IMHO this kinda of script would be just a huge waste of time...

I really have no idea how this could help the mod

Plus it would take up more unit slots... a lot more unit slots.

Oh yes. EB has a few extra unit slots, but doubling the number of all cavalry units would be far too much.

by "dismounting" into a unit that already exists in the game , i do not see how this would take up any unit slots???

btw seems difficult to implement via a script , nice idea though.

If it is possible, which it probably is not largely due to size, complexity, required work and impact on the game, it might not even be possible with the scripting language. And if it is, it would require to much work and resources, so I don't se it happening.

First question... If the Hellenikoi Kataphraktoi can be dismounted into TAB, then, what happened if someone recruit TAB aside their Kataphraktoi, and then found all his TAB becomes Kataphraktoi too? (NOTE : TAB are excellent foot soldiers, far more worthy than their counterparts on horse, as long as city battle are concerned, and there was not at large plain)

only the mounted units would dismount and mount which would be part of their cost .. (as was in MTW) ... i do not think there would be a way to keep any units from mounting if they were not recruited as cav in the MTW2 engine.
