good points but not quiet.. recallin' me watchin' Gladiator the general unit charged barbarians from behind usin' the woods as cover and they did indeed fall off of their horses but didn't all die heheh.. in RTW and all other TW games a guy ridin' on a horseback is considered dead as soon as the horse's down and wise versa.. not so IRL. so maybe that's how they overcompensate that little detail with makin' the cavalry unit extra tougher as a whole.. instead of tossin' a dice and lettin' dismounted soldiers survive and keep on fightin'? see? I can explain everythin' to protect my beloved Rome hehehh
