Moving Infantry vs Cavalry

In M2TW, infantry charging cavalry while cavalry charged at them would be mowed down, is this the same case in RTW?

Long answer, slightly depends, but for the most part yes. Short answer, yes.

Yes, infantry gets a bonus if they are braced for the charge. I'm not sure what the bonus is but keep infantry stationary if they're being charged.

Unless of course you can flank them. Then move the infantry to flank whatever's coming at you.

If cavalry charge after infantry that are charging away after another unit it is ineffective. A few infantry get caught, few casualties, then both units fight. This has always bothered me how poor such a cavalry charge is.

Barbarians get a bonus if they warcry and attack. So brace or attack? Difficult one.
