CBM Cavalry

I think the animosity towards Jomonese cav is the single attack + lack of shield. They're a pretty nice unit now, but I'd like to see them with a no-dashi instead of a katana.

I don't think you can adequately manipulate a "field sword" from the back of a horse. Now, if they had a Naginata.....

And I totally agree, there'd be little purpose for them, without the Hoof attack. I don't recall when they lacked it (I didn't know the game well when I first fell in love with the nation, thematically), but now, in relation to the resource intensity of anything they can muster, the cavalry is a very solid choice for many applications.
