I used to go for the rider back when lance angle was normal. These days I aim to hit both the horse and the rider so he gets damage and the horse is dead. And why should I not do this? Almost every other cav I meet on the battlefield does this so why should I try to hit the rider if there is a huge chance he will just dehorse me first. Because it is honorable? Thats just stupid logic. I wont gain anything from that. Oh well he dehorsed me but I went for the rider so atleast I have my honor. Yeah right. Archers use cower power (run away from infantry and shoot and run and shoot, even when they have a melee weapon) and that is considered being smart. Dehorsing someone is also smart. Fuck honor.
