I trust the exercise function as much as I use money to clean myself with. I was in a battle in which exercise said I needed half of the archers I sent (nothing else needed) when I sent more and lost 500-1000 archers.
Cavalry and Cataphract do not get used as they are targeted by all and don't have enough defense. You use one per attack for layering attacks. Second, have you ever found a spot with no defense or no fortifications and minimal defense? Cavalry love to take the resources. I have not sent Cavalry en mass except with my few Cataphracts I do have.
Pikemen are useful against Cavalry and Cataphract. I have 1,000 defending with each section of my army and I have a swordsmen meat shield as they are supposedly good against archers.
Writing for me is difficult. I often over think and write in ways where people become confused. If only I could write as well as I can look at data and draw conclusions from the data.
