Have you not seen a horse moving at speed in the real world, DisruptorX? What dissapoints me is that the horses just run through spears like they aren't there. Horses should baulk at a barrier of spear points.

Speeds in RTW seem pretty good to me, but I always felt that running/horse movements have been too slow in past games. Cavalry should move a lot faster than infantry. That's the whole point of getting on a horse.
