Nice screenshots,Sinan, but there again, I seem to remember you have always posted artistic shots. Your post offering CC advice goes to prove that this feature still works and works well.
The Cantabrian Circle is not something for those players who leave their HA to look after themselves as their skirmish ability is directly affected, they still circle and can therefore be easy pickings for light cav. I generally switch off FAW and skirmish and rely entirely on micro management. I particularly enjoy targeting a unit and waypointing on the run as this lets the HA pump some arrows into the unit as they pass it. Harrying tactics like this are a tremendous way of demoralising the enemy and disorganising their lines. I generally have some shock cav support in strategic places, any venture by enemy cav is dealt with by these and/or the HA themselves. Pure steppe tactics, wonderful!

I still wish there was an automatic "Run in a circle around the enemy shooting arrows into them like Indians in an old western movie" formation.
The Cantabrian Circle never worked this way, it was like a tornado either at flanks or even in front of enemy lines. The individual HA would begin at the centre, gradually moving outward and picking up the pace. At the outside of the formation he would charge towards the enemy, loosing arrows as he went. At a given range he would turn left or right (the Huns would often employ two circles simultaneously) gallop along enemy lines while still firing and return to the circle shooting back over his mount. Circling a static formation (circle of wagons) is fine but a cav charge or two at different points from this formation would cause problems for the HA
