as spud_u_like said - they cost too much anyway :-) and they can cope 10 blasts of fireball, 20 bolts, and 50 blasts of lightnings from angry Gods for all I care. just make sure that they keep those artillery units occupy until my men have the chance to loot their dead bodies. and oh, this way i dont have to pay them wages the next turn.

Cavalry: "look at my shining armour! look! look!"

Cavalry: "err... do we have to take the city? i hate to get my armour dirty and those peasants/city gangsters looks real mean..."

Cavalry: "I demand the best! Gimme more money!"
There's a mod for Europa Universalis where if too large a percentage of your armies consists of cavalry their pay doubles. Now I won't be able to play it without that going through my head.
