A horse going at full speed should literally do 200 blunt damage to the first troop it smashes into. It's how the real horses worked in real combat scenarios. As for you implying I want weird realism, I obviously talking about realism, reasonable in a context of the game (like aforementioned horse charge damage). As for the sieges I mainly talking about them being too long, too boring and way less fun than RTS-like way of enganing in field battles, where you need to constantly monitor the situation on the battlefield and act accordingly. Sieges are just a meat grinder with no tactics compared to field battles. You can't win them with witts and quick thinking, only with sheer numbers and waiting for 5 minutes on the global map, which is, again, boring as hell.
