Dead Horses
Does anybody else think that cavalry attrition happens a bit fast? I mean, the units are small enough to begin with. I find myself being ecstatic if I finish a battle and my cavalry is at more than 50% strength. Even with heavy knights. Somehow this doesn't sound right.

Re: Dead Horses
I get numbers like that sometimes, but it's usually because I've let spearmen run into my horses when I was looking the other way, or because I've overextended my already-tired knights... (ie: It's usually my fault)
Re: Dead Horses
Hummm...what are you doing with your cav? I babysit mine so I don't usually worry about too many casualties (except for the *@#$ camel troops).
My Kats and Byz Lancers survive just fine usually. I let spearman and my byzantine infantry take most of the damage.

Mark Twain 1881"If you don't want to work, become a reporter. That awful power, the public opinion of the nation, was created by a horde of self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditch digging and shoemaking and fetched up journalism on their way to the poorhouse."

The Royal Knights and Kataphraktoi resist good..... Also, the knights from the Crusading Orders are very good....
The light cavalry and camels can be routed easily....

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: Dead Horses
I have to admit that I overuse cavalry, so I do often see large numbers of casualties in my cavalry units (although their kill count is much higher). I'm going to have to make better use of my infantry.

Re: Dead Horses
I m playing Venitians now and my italian infantry is devastating against all cavalry. I have killed and captured kings, dukes, princes, sultans, etc.... While in defence cavalry IMHO is useless, two units of royal knights or feudal knights are more than enough in offence.
