I love cavalry and infantry equally.

[Mystic]

Well Personally im A Big Fan Of Mounted Units And Only use Infantry To Hold Back LArge Forces Until They Get Tired Then I Send A Large Amount of Cavalry To Clean up And If Not That I Seldomely Use Full Infantry basically when im forced (sp)

[Alexanderofmacedon]

D. All of the above

[Mystic]

Yes There All Good Each With Their Own Advantages And Weaknesses

[Ldvs]

Infantry, especially when they have javelins or anything that can be thrown.

[Mystic]

Ahhh Great Point I Take It Your Reffering To Skirmishers Huge Damage Short Range Well Armoured And Are Great Melee Units So Basically An All Around Powerhouse

[Antagonist]

D. Combined arms is the key to victory, I feel.

If it's all up to me, though, I generally prefer the maneuverability and flexibility of cavalry and light infantry over more cumbersome heavy infantry.

Advance, strike hard, retire, and repeat until desired result is achieved. Or until you die, I suppose, but I find it best not to dwell on that possibility.

[Ludens]

I favour a combined arms approach. Infantry to provide the anchor, and cavalry to deal the blows. But if I have to pick one, it is cavalry, preferebly armed with bows.

[cunobelinus]

infrantry !!

[Mystic]

I Only See Most Infantry As A Way To Tire Opponents For My Cavalry To Have Fun I Also Move Back Away From The Enemy So they Travel Farther And Fatigue More Especially on Hilled Maps

[Mystic]

What Is It That Makes You Chose Infantry LittleGannon

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Combined arms is definately best. I like a mix of the heaviest down to the lightest troops. This gives you a good strong line of heavy infantry or pikes, some skirmishers and archers to drive off HA's and hit and retire types, some heavy cavalry to break heavy infantry lines (after engaging with your heavy infantry of course), or to drive off heavy cavalry, I also like having some skirmisher cavalry to pour missiles into enemy lines' flanks and sometimes add numbers to heavy cavalry charges.

What Is It That Makes You Chose Infantry LittleGannon

Lack of cavalry commanding skill.. Just kidding mate.

I choose cavalry, any time, every time.
Earlier, it was a fairly balanced Eastern Roman army (2 Plumbatarii, 3 Comitatenses, 1 Liminatei, 1 Eastern Archers, 1 Priests and 1 Legio Lancarii) against 5 peasants and a general.

The peasants, as you'd expect did nothing. The warlord almost singlehandedly killed 200 men. The maneuverability of cavalry is great. Can get out of sticky situations without too much loss, and if they have a good charge, they're more likely to rout the enemy.

[The Stranger]

infantry at all times, though i would fight a army without cavalry, though i like fast cavalry above heavy cavalry. a roman of the old days

[Weebeast]

Well, I love them equally all (Varangian Guards are cool just like Lancers, so are longbowmen, etc) but in the end of the day you don't wanna walk. As you can see, we love cars and I'm sure people back then loved horses. I prefer to mount my men. I can catch routers and when my troops rout they can flee unharmed which saves me money.

[Mystic]

Hey HTanks For The Input Much Appreciated And By The Way Does Anyone Know What The Award I Have Is For ?

[Craterus]

Code of Honour. I assume you've signed it?

Click the "Awards" button on the second brown bar at the top of the page, and you'll see all the awards and what they are awarded for.

EDIT: My award has disappeared?!

[Mystic]

I Think Its Code Of Honor But Thats A Guess ^_^ Sorry About The Typo

[Craterus]

Bingo!

[Mystic]

Mine Dissapeared Too :O

[Mystic]

My AWard Is Dissapeareing and Reappearing :D MAgic

[Conqueror773]

I tend to like all types of units because you need alot of flexability in war but i use Calvary as my main units such as generals usually. Sometimes Infantry cause they are cool, like Teutonic Knights.

[Mystic]

I agree You do Need To Have A Balance some times

[Craterus]

Generally, it depends on the enemy. A balanced army should always be fought with a balanced army. An all-infantry army should definitely be fought with archers + cav combo. A predominantly missile army should be fought with cavalry. Cav army should be fought with a balanced army and preferably with spearmen/pikemen.

[Mystic]

Agreed ... Anyone know Where Theres A Game Going For Stw WE Patch 1.02

[Syxx_Killer]

I'd have to say I like infantry the best. They have saved me numerous times. I like how versatile they are. I find I only use cavalry for mopping up operations or to quickly decimate missile units.
