I did not find my general having any real issues with them, but if you mean the cavalry did not crush them in seconds I guess you are right...

I agree with the original poster in that while cavalry is actually effective and even the suicidal frontal charges can cause a reasonable number of deaths in the defending unit, it just does not look right somehow.

It is as if all the weight has been taken out of the cavalry. If an armoured warrior on horseback was to charge a prepared defensive line head on you would reasonable expected the mounted warrior to come off worse but the fact it has no noticeable impact on the defending unit looks a little odd. No more guys getting knocked through the air and push back even a little...

For the pike wall this is reasonable but for the foot knights with their warhammers you would think a charging knight could at least force a step backward, even if it is to avoid hurtling corpse...

I will reiterate though that when you look at the numbers the and effect on gameplay, they have that aspect down just right I think...
