    Default Just some suggestions...

    These are just some thoughts i had while i was playing your mod and i really don't know, if these are good ideas, or if they are even possible, i just wanted to tell you some of my suggestions...
    First of all, i think it shouldn't be possible to join cavalry and infantry units in one army, just like you can't join ships with land units. this means there will be cavalry only units and infantry/artillery units. further should the sight and the marching range of infantry be reduced while the cavalry ones should be increased. like this it wouldn't be possible to know what the enemie is doing, without cavalry or scouts and as a result the cavalry would take over it's destiny as a scouting unit, as it was like in reality and the cavalry would become an important escort of infantry armies. and throug its bigger range it would also be possible to do some classic cavalry raids in the enemie countries and only counter cavalry would be possible to catch you, resulting in a big cavalry battle. it would also be possible to use the cavalry as a fast defending unit to hold of enemie units marching into your country, if the infantry's to far away. that means u always have the possibility to attack someone who's marching into your range field, stop him from attacking one of your cities for example.
    This is all based on the strategy map and it would prevent stupid cavalry vs. infantry attacks on the battle map.
    As i said, these are just some ideas i had, and it would be really interesting, if you could tell me what you think about it...

    Well to be honest i donīt see a chance to get this working because of engine restrictions. We canīt tell the AI it should escort another army at all.
    This are downsides of mods, we have borders we canīt pass.

    I would not say stupid, just it was a rare occurrence in real life. Training cavalry in the use of shock tactics could take years, as the necessary well ordered formations that could manouvre quickly enough to exploit opportunities to press home with sabres or lances were rather demanding in terms of skills.Even what little regular cavalry was available at the war start was accustomed to operate against indians; broken terrain and entrenchments in many areas further curtailed the scope for charges.
    The new rifled muskets made things worse but it is not clear cut that they were a show stopper by themselves, french cavalry was apparently able to charge Lorenz equipped austrian infantry with some success at Solferino in 1859 and the descriptions of the massed union cavalry charge breaking confederate infantry at the 3rd Winchester in 1864 read like something out of a napoleonic battlefield.
