Anyway, the other day I was looking over these guys and I wondered, why not mod this theme to have ALL cavalry troops. I think it'll actually be pretty interesting since it's essentially meant to emulate the Mongols. So give them lots of varieties of light cavalry and maybe two varieties of heavy cavalry. A siege bonus unit would also add to the theme as well. Give them good blood mages and the master of the dead.

Even with all this though, they still need some way to make up for the forced Turmoil x2. Since that has to be one of the biggest disadvantages for a military theme ...

that isnīt possible, because the theme uses lots of generic tienīchi units. So if you mod those to cavalry base tienīchi and spring and autumn get them too.

The biggest problem is that the scripting can't make a good use for riding archers - there should be an option like evade and fire, to take advantage of the horses.

True... I was lucky once while using mounted archers.

I set them for Hold and attack rear... they shot twice... ran along the edge and melee attacked a weak priest and some archers then they stood and shot some more arrows into the middle of the battlefield where the enemy was fighting. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Next battle they shot twice then melee attacked the side of the closest enemy troops... and died... not so good. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
