^ I was actually VERY surprised that you were able to raise so many horsemen so quickly. I'm not sure if my understanding of scouting was correct. One of the reasons I was so quick to attack you is that all your armies I could see just had hundreds of crossbowmen, which I thought I could deal pretty easily with between Storm + Arrow Fend. Seeing lots of cavalry tearing through my flying guys was not fun
Fortunately I think my mobility + lightning bolts still saved me in the end.
