Buff light cav maneuver and speed. Nuff said.
Dear god arabians and stuff already behave like they have no inertia. That's why old lance angles were nerfed, the agile horses could dance around someone poking continously.
tl;drtwinssssss
nerf cav.
You never played cav, did you ?
Talking about no inertia, please go out IRL, run as fast as you can and while maintaining that speed, do a U-turn on less than a square meter. Was that easy ? Was that possible ? No ? Yet that's what "humans" do at will in warband.
I decided to make a 1h/Shield cav. So I started climbing up to 15 STR to be able to dish out some damage and wield proper damage. That went pretty fast. Then I started pushing AGI to get some riding and was really excited to reach 9 Agi and use my rouncey. I killed that poor thing round after round, maneuvering through hordes of enemies trying to land a good blow... masterworked weapons flashed at my horse, killing it in half a blow (due to my shitty skills at maneuvering and simply not knowing how to cav properly).
Well I thought, keep leveling, it'll get better - so I reached 12 Agi, thus getting 4 riding, still using my rouncey because it has good speed. Not much changed, in general I ended up being infantry and grinding my way up to 15 Agi.
Then something happened. I put the 5th point in riding and selected my warhorse. Suddenly my character transformed into a shiny knight, ridinga goddamn tankan invincible steed! I bumped through enemy formations, throwing my foes to the ground making them cannon fodder for my fellow infantry allies! My sword went through archers like a hot knife through butter! When my rouncey had difficulties approaching an archer (dieing from arrows) my warhorse catches these arrows with its mouth and spits it back - laughing horribly while doing so!
This heavy horse changed my character from a peasant that desperately tries to get near enemies to a heroic warlord that rides down his enemies.
Thank you my dear heavy horse, I love you.
but not too much because too much could create a cav meta.
Naw I'm not new. I've spent many of my 20+ gens as xbower. I played cav once a long time ago but that was lancer.
I was just a bit surprised that the change from rouncey to warhorse is so extreme, I mean I knew it would be better... but hell it felt like godmode. Wanted to share that experience, thats all.
Of course I dont have good score at every map cuz I still suck as cav but it got way easier. Will post a screenshot when I remember taking one while playing.
Just messing with you, but was talking about website kdr just to really see how good you were doing

Are our characters sprinting all out in mount and blade? lol, Heskey needs to get fitter then cos 7athletics is still a light jog by real standards, and you can turn around fast when jogging.
