I´m glad someone adresses this issue in the forum. The real time battles are the most critical part of this game with the rest being quite refreshing and innovative until now. What i find really annoying is, that you can´t charge down archers with cavalry properly. Maybe i´m doing something wrong but i always see my cav chasing archers across the whole map, without really damaging them. If i give up then, they just shoot me in the back again and again. While chasing i also noticed, that the whole cavalry frontline focusses on only one member of the squad getting forced in close combat, fighting him for 5 seconds, and then chasing the whole squad again, picking the next one. With this going on it takes way too much time to kill a running archer squad and to be honest it´s not how cav should chase a potential one hit kill unit so to say. I really hope for this to get balanced better, because this issue ruins whole battles, ´cause you can´t kill ranged units fast, while they are really dangerous on the opposite.
P.S. and in case im just doing something wrong i´m of course thankful for advice
