So for example you can have a units with 100 AP damage and 100 charge bonus but only 100 mass and that units will deal less casulaties than cavalry units with 1 damage, 1 charge bonus but 10,000 mass.
For the sake of transparency, charge bonus is more or less linked to how heavy a horse is.
Weapon damage is used for cavalry for melee combat si if you are about to face cataphracts or Romans, high AP units might be better pick.
