Realistic Cavalry Overhaul For 1212

• Giant: Ignores all obstacles, calculates mass collision without speed loss – Trample Cavalry
  
• Destrier: Fearless charge, unaffected by "air walls," calculates full mass collision with speed decay – Cataphract/Advanced Lancer
  
• Charger: Charge halts if blocked, unaffected by "air walls" with full mass collision and speed decay – Cataphract-BOW/Standard Lancer
  
• Courser: Charge halts if blocked, weakened by "air walls" with reduced mass collision and speed decay – All Other Cavalry

1. Western Europe (Lancer)
   
   • Role: Bear-like – Devastating charge impact, low maneuverability. Can penetrate non-spear infantry lines effortlessly but vulnerable if trapped.
     
   • Skills: Couched Lance Charge, Engaged Charge
     
   • Elite Tier: Determined by strength value
     
   • Horse Type: Destrier/Charger
     
2. Steppe (Shock Cavalry)
   
   • Role: Wolf-like – Relies on kite-and-pull tactics. Archers bait enemies while shock cavalry flank. High mobility, low mass impact.
     
   • Subtypes: Shock Cavalry (melee), Bow-Shock Cavalry (ranged, no shield)
     
   • Skills: Wolf Pack Tactics

3. Oriental (Cataphract)
   
   • Role: Tank-like – High mass/HP, poor mobility. Excels in melee grind with formation skills but requires infantry support.
     
   • Subtypes:
     • Cataphract (lance+sword): Destrier + Iron Cavalcade Array (melee grind)/Wedge Tactics (charge boost)
     • Cataphract-BOW (sword+bow): Charger + triple-shot arrows (16 ammo)
     
   • Elite Tier: Determined by horse/rider armor and combat prowess
     
4. Other Cavalry
   
   • Camel Cavalry: High HP/mass, slow speed, weak charge (similar to Cataphract but extreme)
     
   • War Elephants: Two types (melee/ranged). Extreme HP/mass with terrifying charge impact, low morale, prone to rampage.
     
   • Spear Cavalry: Anti-cavalry melee bonus, low charge bonus (similar to Shock Cavalry)
     
   • Melee Cavalry: 176 units across factions (revised originals + new). Half the unit count of equivalent infantry. Unbreakable formation horses.
     
   • Hybrid Archer-Melee Cavalry: Medium+ armor archers redesigned as hybrid units.
     

• Lancer: High anti-infantry, strong charge bonus
  
• Cataphract: High anti-cavalry, extreme mass
  
• Shock Cavalry: High anti-infantry, extreme charge bonus
