Always see the cavalry in context with that how they can support their infantry or the infantry support their cav.

Like when fighting enemy cav then never go with your cav against the same number of their, but try to use infantry as a moveable wall which can isolate the cav from their main army.

Don't divide your cav to both flanks in equal number, but try to horde them against the enemy's cav on other flank. If possible leave out 1 fast moving cav on the other flank to help main infantry by attacking the enemy infantry in the back, while the enemy cav is busy fighting yours.

The good thing about fast moving cav is that they can easily outrun heavier enemy cav and they can chase up with other fast moving cav to STOP them untill your heavier cav can come in support.


Never let your cav go alone behind the enemy's army to fight some cav duel if the enemy cav and archers are better than yours. Never chase fast moving enemy cav too far from your own army but ignore them and attack the enemy infantry in the back.
