i see what you mean, HA's were probably loaded full. and by one-trick-pony i meant it was only good at carhae. i agree with you it worked at carhae, history agrees with you. but i doubt it would work in All battles. against, say, hannibal or Alexander. especcially Alexander, who was a cav-hugger.

and, talking game aspects: the only way to mod this in is by giving archers/HA unlimited arrows. wich wouldnt always be the case.
