Could we please continue the disussion about cavalry now because i'm finding this thread pretty intresting.
Actually this is Civ IV forum, not the BTS forum. And as this there should be topics either for the vanilla game or topics valid for all the 3 games. If this is a topic for BTS only it should be moved in BTS forum.
As for one of my first posts in the topic was if the devs stopped the AI from beelining to cavalry and riflemen in BTS this is stupid. Because this is what made the AI good war adversary in Warlords. Because in Warlords it goes for both techs pretty straightforward.
