    SotP are a 20men unit IRC, so it's hard to use them as comparation...

    The problem is that muslims had quite effective medium cavalry, that while not really armoured, compensated with martial skills while in game they can barely match mounted sergeants, that are light cavalry by definition...

    Ottoman Spahis are not Spahis of the Porte (SoP). The former is a fast light cavalry but there is not much use for them: I 'd use valored up Turcoman Horse because they can shoot and that makes up for the weaknesses.

    SoP on the other hand is a royal cavalry nice stats and the only heavy cav that can shoot apart from boyars...

    Because the muslim don't need cav to counter cav, they got camels for that job.

    val0 in a frontal charge maybe, but just watch you're CK and Lancers get chewed up by val3-4 camelry. It's scary as hell and the reason I only let Lancers play in the sand if there are no camels.
    Part of the problem is that the AI is pretty stupid, even on Hard and Expert. We've all used a single cav unit to rout entire armies by rear charging a key AI unit but how many times has the AI pulled that off against you?

    Well, since the AI has a tendency to use camels even where they shouldn't (camels outside desert are nerfed a lot) at least the cavalry they got left should be of some help...

    Gah!

    Camels indeed need valour 2 to be effective in bigger, more advanced battles, but you got them by the time you can mount chiv knights...

    terrain does not matter.

    Camels will defeat cav even on lush terrain...
