Adjust the numbers with tech, defence bonus for being defender, and all the unknown algo... you get a real mess.

Would have been better to rainbow a little bit here. Cav would have made a stop to kill Pikemen, swordmen, etc.

Hope it helps understand it all

no, it will not work that way. Cavalry will go straight to archers bypassing other units. The only way to stop them is to have some trap or abatis.
