Cavalry speed

[dim78]

Firstly congratulations for this superb mod! I haven't played it extensively yet but I really like what I see until now and I'm surprised it's not more popular.
Anyway my question regards cavalry speed.Is there any way to increase it?Because it seems a little unrealistic to me at the moment.It's only slightly faster than infantry.

And something else.I'll probably play as Epirus.What campaign difficulty would you suggest?H or VH?
I would like a tough game but without compromising realism too much.
Thanks in advance!

As a veteran RTW player, I would suggest VH/VH with Insane AI exp bonus turned on . That's my opinion though, so I guess just VH/VH with default settings would be the most challenging casual experience that isn't totally unfair to you (but only slightly)..

The cavalry speeds are inherit from vanilla and since most of the cavalry is "heavy cavalry" type, it's a bit slower. I do agree it could be tweaked a little though.

As for the mod not being popular - the answer is simple: DTW doesn't really focus on advertising that much, nor does it include 7 different spartan variations, or a different hoplite for every greek city.
It's a mod that focuses on challenging gameplay and around the Wars of the Diadochi. Not everyone is familiar with the word Diadochi, so that's a bit off putting too.

Nevertheless, Super Awesome Gameplay-mod (SAG) never did cross my mind when push came to shove...

Diadochi isn't a mod with pretty colours which attract lesser minds.
Diadochi doesn't pretend to be historically accurate; it is historically accurate.

What's good about it is that it accepts MULTIPLE proper primary historical sources, unlike most mods which only uses one narrow inaccurate historical source (A Picture Book about Ancient Greek History, perhaps? ** .... *** .... ****)

I find that it is the most fair, historically accurate, deep and entertaining mod in RTW.

Most people in TW-Center aren't educated enough to understand the value of the historical accuracy Diadochi brings, so that's why it is "unpopular".

you're totally right
