Can the Poles get huscarles though?

Well my favorite attacking army is made up of cavalry, lots of em; horse archers, byz cavarly, royal knights, feudalsgt or turcopoles, etc. They're just easier to use when attacking than the foot ones. If it's a river then it's a different story. I never bring artilery when attacking because it takes space when I can just put another unit of spear, sword, or archer.

My defending army would consist of cavalry too I guess although most of the time I garrison my citadels with balanced armies. I love horses.
