Quoting Madcatter, reply 1You need to find Wild Horses and build a stable over them.
Yes I know but my point is if I can put heroes on horses without doing this then what is the point? Do they only apply to designed units this way?
Correct. Heroes can buy horses the instant you get the tech. Trained units need actual horse resources to be in stock.
Well that does not make sense? I wonder if this can be modded?
It does make sense. Think about it. Your elite unit, the Heros, get horses from some foreign trader. It's a single horse. Your trained unit of 3/5/7/9 individuals needs a steady supply of horses. The trained unit isn't as unique and prestigious as the elite one.
