The AI and the Cavalry...

I see that the AI doesn't use the cavalry very well. I often see it try to outflank my left flank but it often does a bad maneuver and the cavary is intercepted by my slow infantry! Or i succesfully wipe it out with my cavalry easily...

Have you ever seen that AI's mistakes? Someone knows why is so bad in moving the cavalry?

With the BI .exe the AI uses cavalry almost competently, try playing Platinum with BI. Generally it is much better with BI overall, so I recommend using it.

I'll try, but is there anything I can do to make the AI to use the cavalry almost competently?

As I said, play with BI. AI battlefield behavior is hardcoded, nothing the modders can do affects it too much, short of modding AI formations, which has been done already (RTR contains at least one formation mod, I think there is a choice in RTR: PE between Sinuhet's and Darth's). The only thing that really affects AI behavior is the .exe version you run the game on and BI is much more competent than RTW 1.5 overall.
