Romani Lovers... How did u face Horse archers and Heavy cavalry only army?

[antisocialmunky]

Exactly. Which is why Crassus never used it. Learn from history, and it will even help in EB MP. Also, it tires troops, both in RL and enormously in EB.

Accensi are questionable to me, as your human opponent would simply charge them. Numbers would have to be your saviour.

The most important thing you should know is that NEVER stand and take a cavalry charge. Even spearmen, even hoplites, even the hoplite elite/thorkitai can take a heavy cavalry charge standing. This is the most common misconception ever. In RTW, if you let you infantry counter-charge, it will suffer very, every few casualties, if any. Running away from the horsemen and then turning when their charge dissipates is even more effective against the heaviest of the heavy cavalry. This is quite (very!) ahistorical/counter-intuitive, but that is how RTW works, and I consider myself a master of RTW game mechanics.

I rather just sit there any take the charge. I'd also rather have a few chevroned up skirmisher units run infront of the cavalry to screw up any formed charge. Its what the Gauls do online and its quite effective,

Yes, that is a very effective way to counter cavalry frontal charge. A few skirmishers, slingers or archers line up before your front line, in guard mode and loose formation.
