Throndor wrote:While archers on horseback would be theoretically a good idea, their range was significantly decreased by the lack of movement and size for larger bows while mounted. The Mongolians had success because they had the Recurve bow, but that wasn't really a European thing. Also, archers are fairly cheap to train and maintain; horse archery is harder to master and is more expensive due to horse care. Spikes would definitely be very nice.
