It may have just been a combination of the fear + the low morale + archers, some sort of perfect storm.

I built a lot of the calvary because it's the only thing that can play the "catching arrows" game against indies early on, and it doesn't do that terribly well, but they survive well enough to put the hurt on.

If you really wanted to keep the lower morale, that's fine. Maybe the priests could be made a little better like MA C'Tis's selection, or you could give them flight and mapmove 3 so that they'd be easier to keep on the front lines. Since I'm pretty much convinced that you must have the priests to spam sermon of courage on your calvary if you intend to use them, giving them flight and mapmove 3 would make them a lot easier to keep on the front lines, instead of constantly dragging your army down to mapmove 2.

Honestly, I felt like the calvary would have been okay if I had handled them better, but in the situation I was in they felt extremely useless. I think calling them awful is a bit of an overstatement.

Another suggestion I would give is simply to have the very low resource samurai's be mindless. As it stands, I don't think I'd ever build them.
