This has probably been discussed earlier but i take it again in that case.
Im currently playing as Carthage and i gain victory after victory based on almost one thing. No i don't think im a militairy genuis. It's because i have cavalry and the enemy doesn't.
Currently fighting Gauls and Iberians and they don't seam to build any cavalry. It's rather easy to be outnumberd 10:1 and still win if you have cavalry superiority. Or should I say: you have cavalry and the enemy has not.
Same thing with the romans, hordes of infantry and hardly no cavalry.
This bring another annoying AI stupidity to the very heart of battle. Since the only cavalry unit present for the enemy is his general, he will send him in the first line and in 9 out of 10 times get him killed in the opening minutes of the battle. (PS. as you probably noticed this happens eaven when the enemy actually have a lot of cavalry. Annoying!)
This must be dealt with to the next patch. Hell, i play this game for the challange not for easy victories.
There is one exeption though, the Ptolemaic Empire. But their generals are still as supid as always... no matter what empire. Those egyptians seamed to have some AI trigger to build cavalry forces. Implement it on the others too please...
