question: cavalry on wedge

Oh? Any reason why the jumping animation was taken out? Come to think of it, I've been playing nothing but EB for the past few months and have forgotten that cavalry had that animation.

For one it was unrealistic, for another it somehow made charging cavalry overpowered.

It would jump over the first rank of a phalanx and horribly rape it.

I Think some horrible light horse units should have jumping animation restored!!!

I think some Basic Nomad horse archers, as well, as Hippakontistai, should have this too, as they aren't wearing any armour to weigh their horsies....

and every cavalry who only wear a simple cloth should have jumping ability.......

Just kidding....

but why the light horse can't jump? That's what I've think after reading all the posts...

I think the wedge formation should be re-implemented in the multiplayer EDU.

But I agree that the AI would have no idea how to use it, and it would just nerf their cavalry in single player.

By the way, does anyone play EB online?

I don't really understand what people have against necroing. At least it shows that people actually made a search of the forum first, instead of just starting a new thread about it.
