I would argue that you cannot use cavalry weapons.  Centaurs are NOT
"mounted".  You CAN mount a centaur if you can find something which
can carry its weight.  This is not really recommended, since you'll
eat a -500% penalty.

Is the Centaur a reasonable race?  After long pondering of races in
NIC, it seems to me like humans are the way to go, especially for positions
with starting pop.   If your head guy is human, then your others must be human,
halfling, dwarf, or dak.  Seems like humans are the best of the
lot (minor differences in starting CFs and stats are outweighed IMHO
by the +3/+2 mana/magic recovery bonus humans get.  It is nice to have
at least one guy of different size, though, since if you are all
medium you will get a suit of invulnerable small armor and will never
influence/acquire a small character...   What type of races are other
folks choosing for NIC anyway?
