For example, Cavalry can flank cannons, but not trebuchets or catapults.
Not 100% positive it's a bug or oversight (though I strongly suspect it is the latter), but even if it's not, it's something that seriously needs to be changed. I'm tired of "use 20 cannons instead of some artillery" being a viable strategy due to the fact that gunship swarms can bypass the defenders of an artillery stack and slaughter the artillery, but can't touch cannons. Furthermore, you can't build the things that do flank cannons if you are in the modern era. Players should NOT be penalized like that for being more advanced than their opponents.
