exactly my point too, if they had anything that could hold a line against cav they be a great combined arms faction, but you cant have everything, and working around a factions weaknesses and using their strengths is half the fun.

btw, is it just me, or are the treb. archers very good at killing bogged -down bodyguards? had the trebs ( for lack of other troops) receiving bodyguard charges from behind rocks and trees and assaulting them in settlement streets in four battles in a row yesterday, and performed exellently, winning all the time..
