Cavalry vs Phalanx
I know its really late in the great scheme of things, but I thought I'd ask to see whether its possible to prevent cavalry units charging head on into a phalanx ? Its only recently that I've again noticed that cavalry units doing this again . Can it be changed or is it something thats hard coded into the game ?
On a slightly different note - Parthian Cavalry tactics have definetly become more deadly. I've noticed the Parthian AI is now sending various heavy armoured horse archers (esp Cataphract) to combat my Saka and Babylon horsearchers and they have been very effective at causing high casualties with fewer losses to the AI's. The other tactic the AI is now using and one that I've been finding even more harder to deal with is that it is now launching simulatenous Cataphract attacks against my Thoratkai units targettng the front and sides of each wing with at least 2-3 cataphract units, while engaging the centre with infantry or if it has them usually another cataphract unit. As I usually only have 5-6 heavy cavalry (companions and lonchropoi) units per stack its proving very.very difficult to defeat them .. but the new music thats played when you loose does help that wee bit to sooth the pain!
