The problem with cavalry in EB is that the most powerful units are available to factions with phalanx troops and nomadic factions. Since the RTW phalanx can turn around in 1 second and kill all of your precious cavalry when you attack the infantry from behind most classic tactics such as the hammer and anvil tactic don't really work. Needless to say attacking the phalanx from behind with an all horse army doesn't work as it should either.

Since the behaviour of the phalanx is hardcoded this problem can't really be solved I guess.
