Army Composition

[Mark of Calth]

As has been mentioned a few times on here, hammer and anvil is a very effective tactic, made more so by the AI's lack of cavalry. In my most recent campaign (Armenia in IA) I'm in a large war against Pontus, who seem to be incapable of training cavalry. Fighting a two stack force with a total of two cavalry regiments feels a little odd, and as Pontus controls most of Scythia, they could easily get some annoying AoR units if they used cavalry. Is this issue due to Pontus' army compositions, and so not a problem against other factions, or some other reason? I had an enjoyable war against Parthia, who had a lot of cavalry, often in a balanced army, and Pontus just isn't as challenging.

tl:dr Pontus aren't using cavalry. Their default compositions or a bug?

will take a look at the pontus templates, maybe their Cavalry priority is too low.
