Rus spearman aren't available, that's why I mentioned armored spears. I detest all mounted missile troops as less than worthless with few exceptions. I do take enemy units into account but don't feel the need to match them with like units. Spears and foot missiles make short work of mounted missiles.

It's gonna be armored spears, druzhina, which dismount to feudal foot knights, and lots of archers with arbs sprinkled in. Maybe a few steppe cav for chasing routers.

Is there any way to dismount reinforcement units? In big battles I might have 10 druzhina and don't want all 10 of my swords with the first wave.
