1. Why do uhlans have 6.5 speed while all other light hand cav have 6.8 speed. I can understand Mameluke, Elmeti, cruissaders, lancers, and WW's getting < 6.5 speed, but why uhlans?
2. Why doesn't cheyenne recieve the general cav boost of +10% RR in 1.04?
3. Why is Apache Cavalry the only ranged cav unit not to have a bonus vs Artillery? They are exactly the same stats as dragoons minus the cannon bonus.
4. Why didn't commranche Horse Archer recieve a boost? Cav Archers got x3 bonus vs cav, and bow riders got -25 gold. For almost the same price as a cav archer, the commranche Horse Archer has 65 less HP, 20% less hand resist, 25% less of a bonus vs cav(In 1.04).

They probably just forgot cheyenne. I'm still fairly pleased with the way this unit is now though, especially with that beastly cav multiplier it can get. Also, read below.
I agree comanche should recieve a significant boost. If you notice, though, ES is always afraid of native strategies being too powerful. Nerf to native american treaties, nerf to mayan spearmen, even a nerf to melee natives (such as nootkas) in the expansion.
As for apaches, I've never been fond of the ranged cav bonus agaisnt cannons, so this is fine by me, but you're right, baffling.
As for uhlans, phew these guys are OP already. It takes AT LEAST 5 strelets to take them down, with a speed boost it might take 8. Good move.

This is the description of hussar:
Unit Type: HandCavalry, HeavyCavalry, Cavalry
This is the description of cheyenne:
Cavalry, NativeWarrior, HeavyCavalry, HandCavalry
Cheyenne is the same unit type as hussars; they should get the boost.

Awwwww.... ERK's can't take out cannon..... damn it.
I guess they will just have to rely on completely pwning any other unit type than artillery.
