The terrain generation in this game makes no sense. When you're on flat ground, it's good, it's flat and has some soft rolling hills. But when you do battle on a mountainside, instead of it actually taking place on a mountainside, it's just a bunch of ridiculously steep hills on a map with no overall grade. I'm pretty sure mountainsides aren't made up of a bunch of tall, pointy hills. It looks like someone exaggerated the height of realistic terrain by about 10 times. This terrain is also really frustrating because horses move so f*cking slowly through it and the AI can't navigate it (in addition to it never occurring in real life)
So is there some way to make it so instead of just making the map have taller hills when in mountainous areas, just put the whole thing on an actual slope?
Where do you get your concepts ? Ever visited the grand canyon ? The real world is a lot more like that than like the old roling hills of .808. The new generator is perfect and full of surprises

Here come your real problem. you're frustrated because you're using a force full of high end knights abd can't use the dismount command when stuck in mountains ?
True, the AI should be improved, the horsemen are very poor at finding paths when they exist. But sometime THERE IS NO PATH, PERIOD. And this exist in real life too. You expect archers to wait for you in open terrain. Are you mad ? They didn't sign a contract to commit suicide. If anything, I want MORE of those challenges.
In my game, I got pathfinding, and that give me a speed edge. I try to force the AI to force me where I want. In mountain if I got archers, in plain if I got lancers/knights. Just learn to do it. make them follow you. Or make them run away. In both cases you can control where they go.
Anyhow, overall your complaint seems to be your problem rather than the game problem
I really got no clue why this was moved to King Court
So because a few peoples can't control their horsemen and use dismount we'll loose the mountain ? And it will go back to a pointless challenge-less game where Knights rule the world ?
