One of the very few advantages of Rome over Medieval 1 was IMHO introduction of mass factor. Charging cavalry, even if it didn`t kill a lot of men in the charge, would penetrate into the unit of infantry, disrupting it, sometimes even splitting it in half. It wasn` always beneficial - cav had a harder time disengaging from such a mess. But it looked cool and IMHO realistic. Head on crash with a horse WILL send you flying back, I had a pleasure of experiencing it.
I somewhat agree on this.. it is very unlikely that heavy or medium cavalry would clear just the first line of some (in my cases low-end) infantry and than stop's like it the wall there.. And then they get slaughtered by the same infantry even if you swich weapon's and try to run away.. For me, cavalry is underpowered anyway's .. I was reading some diadochoi battle's description's recently and I am sure that the cavlry in EB (specially hellenic and Stepe) could have +10 to +20% of general strength - that would not hurt the balance much
