    Default Cavalry dismounting to attack?

    I order a unit of yari cavalry to attack another cavalry. They proceed to dismount and charge on foot!! I didn't mistakenly hit the dismount button or anything. Is this normal behavior, or might it be a bug brought by the last patch? Worse, they dispersed their horse so they couldn't remount. Shamefru dispray!

    Might have been a bug because I haven't seen that happen. What's the hotkey for dismounting? Anyone know?

    Shift-2 or 3 I think, hard to hit accidentally.
    I'm pretty sure this happened to me as well, but only very rarely like once or twice.

    I hate the new hotkeys with a passion - can they be remapped?

    I was only using the mouse. My left hand wasn't even on the keyboard. Technically, one could say that the yari cav had an advantage as dismounted spears against the other cav, so that might be behind the AI deciding to dismount, but that kind of decisions should be left to the player. Sure they defeated the enemy cav but were useless for the rest of the battle.

    What was the enemy cavalry unit they were supposed to attack? Also, their bonus against cavalry doesn't changed mounted or dismounted. Just their charge, unfortunately.

    Are you sure?

    I`ve twice accidentally dismounted my cavalry. The buttons need to be further away! Also, making them a little easier to tell one from the other would help.
