    Default dismounted cavalry

    I would have more fun to see dismounted unit like medieval.

    For example: equites are wealty or noble citizens who fight as legionary cavalry, but i read that often they dismount in battle and fight as heavy infantry.
    In ancient battle (to 3rd century AD) cavalry has secondary rule in battle and horsemen are outnumbered in all army.
    Many soldiers, use horses for come quickly behind enemy... after that they dismount for charge enemy from back.

    Would be good thing to see in PI many dismounted units

    Can PI team thinking about this?

    Nope, I can't model and skin and to tell you the truth RTW engine is very limited - you can do only that much -> for me depicting mounted units to be on foot (since they fought on foot) is the same as if you make them on horses - both things at once can't be simulated due to the engine limitations. It's either this or that and since we have them mounted I wouldn't bother making others.

    I think he means make duplicates. Say equites mounted, and equites dismounted.

    Guys I know what you meant! Bottom line is I can't do it and I think there is no need to do it - othere are other things that should have a priority.
