Thinking of downloading this mod but...

...why was cavalry made stronger? Cavalry is already great in vanilla. With fuedal knights I can plow through most heavy infantry and kill 80 percent of the troops granted they don't have polearms. Perhaps the cavalry can be a bit explained to me if i'm wrong. I mean I love cavalry but I don't think they should be the end all be all of the battle field. I prefer the balance.

Also are the Byzantines still using cardboard swords and armor or can I expect them to be real contenders in the game. I mean I like them in vanilla to an extent but the kataphracts sometimes can be disapointing as can the "Byzantine infantry" and the spearmen can just %$#@ right off.

Is there a page that shows the Byz units? Is it like the complete roster project?

Cavalry wasn't made stronger, just more realistic. They now have a stronger charge value but are weaker in melee. So instead of being able to charge into combat and then hack everything to pieces, if cavalry stay in melee for too long they'll take a lot more losses.

SS uses the vanilla unit roster but with new skins. However the CBUR team have released a submod for SS that gives the Byzantines all new units. Check the submod forum for details.

I don't know, cavalry already kind of melts away in melee with infantry and in vanila if you charge an enemy they're pretty much crippled. But with this mod maybe the wedge formation is useful?

Atack is near nothing and lot of infantry have bonuses against them, great is 10 points of charge but not imagine is a uber unit compared with vanilla.Iplayed vanilla and if you asked me, you vdont know what you lose dont playing SS.
