    Default Can we load our horses ashore as well?

    So, it seems that the Riders will be arriving at the shore dismounted. This is of course logical as I wouldn't expect to see them jumping off the ship immediately riding on top of their mounts

    But since the horses and the riders are separated; will we be able to reunite them during the battle?
    Say, if have time, or the enemy is feeling campy and hasn't launched an immediate counter attack; can I also land the ship carrying the horses, unload the horses, and mount the riders? I know it'll be time consuming process, but if I can make time, I'd really like to have the option to do so.

    Cavalry will be dismounted in amphibious assaults, you will have to disembark normally for cavalry units to have their horses.

    Only using landing craft. Like in that documentary about Robin Hood.

    I'm not sure, but in the Siege of Carthage video there's a shot of Roman Equites reforming before entering the city, but I'm not sure whether if that was just scripted. I guess if your amphibious assaults are supported by a land force then you may be able to use cavalry or either they appear on the map when you firmly secure the beachhead or something like that. If they could be disembarked like the infantry they wouldn't come from the huge galleys but probably like a smaller, lower transport ship which enables the horses to step off rather than jump from 10 feet
    How far will I go for Rome? At least to the end of the street, I hate walking

    I doubt it, though all the landing problems might have been averted if CA had included a simple gangplank.
