Suggestions for a new player

Hey guys! First time here, and glad to be. I have a couple questions and I'm hoping you can advise me.

 

What is an effective way to use cavalry? I've noticed that they have a similar skirmishing behaviour as the dismounted unites, but I can't seem to use them in a way where they don't take tragic losses.

 

Are there any good "Lets Play" videos or video tutorials to see? I don't usually enjoy multiplayer, and my excitement for this game was around the well developed AI. I want to see what strategies work against a Dynamic or Cunning opponent.

 

That being said, I'm more of an 'enthusiast' than a 'competent' gamer. I don't mind a challenge (or losing) as long as I'm having fun.

hmmm..i would say attack the flanks of the enemy while having your infantry assault that enemy to keep them preoccupied so they dont notice the cavalry sneaking up.
