Good local cavalry?

All the information I could ask for, plus a little more. Thanks alot.

Although Roman infantry is very capable I would probably go mental if the battlefield is full of slingers and I don't have any cavalry.

Yeah I forgot about the Illyroi Hippeis, prolly because I just used the Greek Hippeis instead. And I have NEVER had to worry about slinger spamming by the computer (maybe that's beacause I play M/M so the AI doesn't get annoying campiagn map bonuses and make your spies virtually worthless).

Annoying campaign map bonuses? Please, do tell...

Arverni and Aedui often had 30% or more slingers in their armies in my current game. At one point I was trying to defend a bridge and I did manage to defend it but lost nearly 2/3 of my army doing it. All because of the damn slingers with their imba range and no regard of friendly fire.

Well, it's right, we would hit our own soldiers. But we also hit them! FIRE!
