how did steppe niggers cope with not having infantry to take the high ground?
>>
By surrounding the high ground, cutting off your supplies, and starving you out. Pretty sure the Mongols did that to the slavs

I mean, if it could be countered so effectively, the Mongols wouldn't have had a continent-spanning empire, and the Hungarians wouldn't have been relegated to European backwater status.

It was hard to call it an 'empire' when you control huge chunks of Siberian Wastes that nobody actually 'claimed' and any settlements there had no way to project their power or control over that area.

Do you know who else was part of a continent spanning empire? Hungary.

>Your heavy infantry gets tired while climbing the slope. They break formation while climbing due to the terrain. The enemy sees this and use arrows to whittle away the infantry. The enemy cavalry sees your heavy infantry is stuck on a hill and flanks it to strike your rear. Now the heavy infantry is surrounded on a hill with no provisions and vulnerable to arrows.

This will only work if you placed your entire army on the high ground BEFORE the battle. However only dumdums and R.E. Lee ever decide to attack an enemy who have the high ground.
