The Mauryans are only partially on the Map, and they looked south for expansion not North and West. The Numidians, well, they were clients of the Romans or Carthies for the vast majority of the time frame. Important in the same way the Italian people were, not much more.

Also, charge bonus is broken in 1.2. What you're actually complaining about is probably related to the speed or weight of cavalry though. Still, they shouldn't blast through a unit of infantry, don't expect to see that in EB.
Do you think night battles from BI can be duplicated for EB? And Imperia Romana is coming out for BI, another uber realism mod that is looking great, so maybe the EB team shouldnt have to worry about that right now.
