fighting on a horse is all good and fun, but knights suck when it comes down to castles etc

i had a force with 50/50 knights and swadian sergeants (and about 10 to 20 archers) and when everything was done the knights had alot more losses then my swadian sergeants
and personally i like to ride a spirited courser while wielding a 2h axe, and the occasional throwing axe for fun, because i just love to charge around swinging at ppl while charging by

but thats just because i like doing that
(and the castle im talking about was with cheats yeah, i just wanted to try out some stuff and couldnt be arsed to train up a whole force, so i just got a big army and gave them xp, normally i play without cheats, alot more fun)
