Solved.
I'm somehow guessing they can't else they probably wouldn't have messed with them at the same time.

So increase ranged body damage by 20% of what it used to.
Decrease lance damage by 20% to balance the risk/reward element?

Though I would like seeing lance "stabs" not do over 50 damage to a medium armored infantry if they are not even running at max speed on their mount.
Making couch the single hit killer and the stab 2 hit killer?

Range damage is fine. It's even easier for skilled players to get kills.

Not against horses it isn't.

Nerfing cav again would just be dumb. Crpg is already becoming a constant circle of nerfs. No need to keep that circle going.

But then I don't really see any other solution to fixing the amount of cav there is.

I have a crazy idea...

How about making the Cav prerequisites make sense again? Spread them out a bit? Make it so not every single heavy cav is 5? Make it where levels in Riding make a real difference like before...

you cant talk about cavalry, you need to be more specific, you need to seperate heavy cavalry form light cavalry, cause differences between those are huge.

Currently it is a heavy cav spam that is the problem on NA servers imo.

cavalry is tricky,

Cavalry is useless if the main infantry body is aware of them, if not they will dominate the battlefield

Yeah, I vote revert ranged damage to horses.  Cav lies in catching people off guard, and I'm getting away with 2 too many arrows stuck in an arabian warhorse haha.

There isn't much heavy cav on EU servers luckily, still to much medium/light cav.
The logic of war seems to be that if a belligerent can fight he will fight.
