On one occasion, city almost surrounded by hordes of enemies continued to 
build cavalry and send it to some distant land.  I suspect that means that 
the emergency defender building is not getting due priority.

The best would be to send this cavalry to fight the immediate enemy 
though.  At some point I was planning to make target selection give more 
weight to units which are generating danger to us.

Mmmh.  That could explain why they go exploring, but why are they doing it 
in a big army-like group ?
