Guide: Bandar Log - you whipped me with what?!?

Eh... Has anyone, in fact, SEEN markatas kill heavy cavalry?

It certainly seems that its a pure theorycraft; everyone agrees that its a very good idea and it should work, but nobody tries.
Maybe I just have two left arms (with broken fingers), but I cannot make this work even against AI. Ok, I have some indie swordsmen up front, I have some Yakshas spam armor-ruining spells, and my wave of markatas falls upon AI hordes...
Sometimes markatas even win, mostly when they are backed by real troops. But still I always end up with my markatas decimated and scattered across the neighbouring provinces. Doesnt seem to be a good tactics to me.
