Now that would be wonderful. And it would work. I've done similar things to the Egyptians already. I hit an army with one force from Armenia and moved another, small force that couldn't make it to the big battle to the only crossing of a river. When I slaughtered the main body, the renants fled -- toward the river crossing.

They didn't even get to get their feet wet.

Come to think of it, horse archers are just as deadly in M:TW. Learning the micro for them, though, was an ordeal. At least it was for me.

Now people who aren't totally obsessed with HA can get the same results I got in M:TW, and better.

HA in R:TW aren't overpowered. Skirmish mode works now. Who wants to argue that CA should break it?

Combine that fix with a elegant way to wheel your formation around. Those two things alone account for most of the improvement to HA.
