Glenn and Cyprian2: thank you very much for your kind words; i hope you enjoy a bit more than otherwise MTW with the Caravel mod

Hello Stazi,
Szekely are a statistically superior missile cavalry in vanilla than normal HAs (vanilla and turcomans) although fast. This is counteracted by their availability only from 2 provinces. In the mod they were made available from any province the Hungarias occupy, and i tried to balance their very good stats via increasing their recruitment price. This iteslf proved somewhat bad for the Hungarian AI faction development; Szekely were a fort level unit that costed too much for such and the Huns were often staying behind in development. So i dropped their stats to similar to Turcomans (slightly higher than vanilla HAs) and droped their price and the Hun AI plays better.

As to if the HAs (fast and weak variety) are useless in missile duels, in my view this is simply not true. I have seen them being used to devastating effect both is SP and MP by skilled players and i have written some about HA use in the guides section. Most of what is written there follows either advice i received by or through observing skilled mp players when they played with HAs. Brandy Blue also made some interesting contributions. Perhaps it might be helpful. If interested, take a look here, starting from post #71 and onwards.

Thank you all
