Are people really having problem with Heavy cavalry? s: I suck at micromanaging cavalry, but still when I'm playing as a hellenistic faction they're crucial to my warfare, and those that kill the most, to the least ammount of casualties. The only thing I really worry about is slingers/phalanxes, which is why i always have archers or a light cavalry regiment to deal with any slingers they have. Meanwhile my heavy cav kill the enemy general and then charge the back of the enemy, to suppourt my flanking AP units. This works like a charm on pretty much everything but elites, which will require more than 1 charge.
