to bump shitton of infantry you need to avoid shitton of pikes, have you played cav in last 50 strat battles fips?
I have had my fair share of shitty k/ds because i was a bumpy cav. Not very recently, but i know what it's like and how frustrating it can be. I still don't get why so many people bitch out when they see all the pikes. Even if you stop infront of 2 or 3 pikes and die in an instant, it's time you can get for other cav to actually bump infantry. Just stopping pikes and long spears from poking into your own infantry can make your death worth it. Pikes and longspear can stop a good amount of cav, yes, but at some point there is no way you can stop all cav that is coming to you and that are the moments where cavalry can shine.
I wish GK was active again. They weren't really useful on foot, but at least they knew how important cavalry is for field battles and rarely bitched out.
