Well, we won't be disbanding cavalry. We'll keep the remaining units around, until they die off. Like others have pointed out, there are more uses for them, such as pillaging roads, blocking foreign settlers or workers from going to certain places, acting as a quick defensive support unit (like in Uber Isle for example, if it got invaded).

Certainly they will no longer be a part of our offensive or defensive military forces...more like the Reserve units that modern militaries these days have...

Meshelic already answered that.

We can't draft fast units. As Meshelic said, we need fast units with 3 movement points for tactical operations.

So we keep a few cavalry around and pay 10-20 maintenance per turn. It's not such a big deal.
