So much Javelin Cavalry
I was simply wondering why so many cavalry units in the game have the ability to throw javelins. In particular, the Norman Knights. I'm not sure if this is historically accurate or not, but TBH I would much prefer in game to have stereotypical heavy cavalry, that performs as a pure melee unit.

The Normans would charge toward a line, release their throwing spears, and then retreat, their flank guarded by their long shields.
As for other factions - yes, the throwing spear was very much in use, especially among the Celts.
Thank you for playing Norman Invasion.
