I am even to lazy to send in the cav. I just let AI archers walk into the kill zone of my own (longbow or muslim) archers. Problem solved in an wiffy. I normally use my cav to crush their flanks.

Something else.

I tried to find some evidence of using catapults or trebuchets in land battles (not sieges). I looked at the battles of Crecy, Poitiers, Azincourt. (all 100 years war) but nowhere even a mention of them. I think it would be more realistic if you would not be able to use them in landbattles.
