Actually...would that tactic work with the Mongols?

Might have a flaw with rocket firing Timurid elephants I fear....
1. In case you guys haven't noticed. This forum is the citadel. SINGLEPLAYER.

The AI NEVER does smart things like that or the other example someone gave like putting stakes around the entire army.

I would never get an all hvy cav army against a human player. And of course horse archers/missle cav are useful. In fact im playing a timurid campaign right now and am using mostly HA and little hvy cavalry and its quite fun and effective. But, if I used nothing but hvy cavalry it would be much easier....

The bottom line is, as far as singleplayer goes hvy cavalry owns all, simply because battle AI sucks. Period.

Keep in mind im talking about battles in the field. In sieges you need 1 cannon or catapult unit or such. Just blow a hole in the wall, run all your cav past the enemies guarding the wall, hold the square for 3 mins...game over.

O and by the way, how do I edit posts on this forum? Is it even possible?
