SP - Player, NPCs & Troops We need more incentives to play with infantry instead of calvary

There is an issue with the AI first and foremost that needs to get fixed.

Secondly, cavalry should take twice as much food to upkeep.

Third, archers and skirmishers can still do a number of cavalry if used correctly.

I once had the AI place all its ranged troops in the middle of a wide river, so my cavalry-heavy army couldn't charge them. That surprised me a bit - pretty sure it was a coincidence.

At this stage, the only infantry I use are ones with throwing weapons.

If you’re playing Sturgia, forget the entire half of their tree containing Heavy Infantry, just train Woodsman and put a line of brigands in front of the archers, With the more advanced Brigands giving you your Cav. It’s an odd way to play them oN the surface, but it works well!!

Infantry goes in the garrison or sacrificed up a siege ladder.
Infantry was always baaaaaaaaad.
