Interloper problem

He means by single clicking on the enemy with your cavalry rather than double clicking. This means they walk to the enemy, then charge when at the right distance. Try it out, it actually yields better results than double clicking so that the cavalry run to the enemy and then charge.

Ah, ok, thanks, didnt knew about that!
Damn, to think that after 7 years (?!?) of playing RTW I still don't know all the tricks on the engine

Well I don't even remember how vanilla was :D
But for example in M2TW you can double click, halt, drink a coffee, anything as cav and you'd still annihilate any foe XD
Thankfully in EBII charging via double click means units get tired and have less impact, cav also, as you said, doesn't lower lances and basically knocks the first line only :P

I remember slaughtering gaullish full stacks with just 3 or 4 round shield cavalry (one of the worst, just armed with shortswords and small shields) and 2 iberian general bodyguards). Good old Imba times

Take a deep look into the EB-FAQ it will answer most of your questions.

This thread gives EB-related advices.

Last but not least I would ask that you look up your build number shown in the main screen. There has to be 1.2 if not you installed the patch wrong.
In that case, follow this guide to install EB right. Keep in mind that 1.2 is not savegame-compatible.
