As battles get bigger and parties gather more experience, I am more and more frustrated by cavalry. I love how horses and horse warfare are made in the game, but somehow cavalry destroys all my plans.
- How do I lead a battle against enemy cavalry? My computer is old school and it doesn't support too many troops at the same time, and somehow all cav. vs. cav. encounter become a fuzzy skirmish without any tactics and which I always lose. What tactics can I use with a mostly footmen troop against mounted enemies?
- Horse archery: Khergits are great at it, but I suck, no matter what my stats are. I always shoot around, never inflicting any damage, until axe-wielding knights knock me unconscious.
- Horses are expensive, I cannot afford good ones for my party at the moment, and they are never found as loot after a fight.
Moreover, I like characters, but is it better to hire mercenaries or recruits, rather than having many characters in your party?
