Hey, nobody's a bigger fan of MTW horse archers in MTW than me.

As for other "non-knight" cavalry, I dearly loved my Saharan Cav for chasing down routers and killing archers when they were exposed. I once had a unit of Saharans take more than 500 prisoners.

I'm pretty sure we're agreeing here. Let's just put it this way: People could dispute the value of light cavalry and horse archers in MTW. There won't be much dispute in RTW.

=========

Furthermore, it's pretty obvious that since a lot of my fulsome praise regards the campaign map, I'm referring a lot to the single-player aspects of RTW. I'm sure Sinan and others could tell, although they're probably more (exclusively?) interested in the multi-player challenge. Anyway, here's hoping the multi-player experience is as fulfilling.
