empty settlements not to be good solution, the monk is better. Please think that you rob monks...
I think the more better cavalry would not be realistic ... do not forget, in this era dosn't use the stirrup because the horsemen almost was only a mounted warrior! This is not the 11th - 13th cavalry from the medieval with high charge!
... despite/but i'm opened for the bit strenghtening!
(... Btw, we added higher HP and stat for the frankish cavalry and higher to the Norman (late norman), then to the others (saxons, celtic, nordish culture, etc.)
Why is it a problem that we leave the original vanilla reference in the EDU for you?
Thanks your kind words! (realy, i'm not cynical)
