try using an army of all horse archers
you'll obliterate just about any kind of army in a field battle
yeah but i agree, in siege battles they aren't as effective ... but if you've got a lot and you're defending in a siege battle, just send them out of the gates and attack the enemy ... they won't be expecting it ... and i always prefer to send infantry in first in a siege attack and then when they're engaged rush in with cavalry ... it could be horse archers or any kind of cavalry in fact ...
