when has this ever been in?

I think he was referring to E:TW where dragoons and such could dismount their horses and fight on foot.

well I was very young when MTW came out and I mostly played Viking Invasion, so I don't remember that feature. Funny they didn't use it for MTW2...

Oh man I really don't remember that. As a Viking Invader, you usually don't use that much cav. But you are sure that its not that "feature" they have in MTW2, those individual "dismounted" units?

I quess not - i haven't played MedI alot, but I've read several threads on those forums which describe which cavalry units truns into what if you order it to dismount (could only be done during unit placement before battle, but NOT during battle.)

In empire, there is the Dragoon (but they are still poor both as cav and as inf), maybe they should have 2 hp when dismounted or such, or has significantly higher stat
