Why is it surprising that they are a whole lot more vulnerable to horse archers?

No one is suggesting they shouldn't be more vulnerable to archers. The question is how much more vulnerable should they be?

This is not complicated stuff and you certainly don't need to be some sort of a statistician to understand these concepts. Trust me, this is no more complicated than 3rd grade math. Just go into the "Data" file in your RTW folder and double-click the file called EXPORT_DESCR_UNIT.TXT. At the top, it explains in detail what all the numbers represent.

The only point of that test was to prove to Khelvan that my premise was accurate. The test simply backs up my earlier statement - nothing more than that.
