Also over fifty percent of deer species live in tropical areas, especially jungles. Finally, these Tauredain soldiers have been training for years on deer, they can ride well enough. Also when upon a mount armor is less important as you are elevated above enemies. Also, there were 50,000 Tauredain at the start! As well as the fact Tauredain are based on the Aztecs and Incas some of the best Warriors alive in their time. You can't say Cenior would die quickly, because in every LOTR book ever written heroes trump soldiers, no matter their race. Plus there are simply far too many orcs for the Avari to fell them all before they could reach them. The Tauredain are from the mod, so there is no way you can say 'they are off' because that is the only Tauredain there are. If you want to look at their roots - when did the Aztecs ever use mounts? Never. Also, these Avari are heroes, and have had millions of years to train, quite literally. They aren't some mortal who's been training for 'years', your life is the blink of their eye. They also still have better armour, and mounts. The faster animals of the jungle are too small to ride with any form of armour on, so you would be dead instantly.
