I'm 10 Riding

107 Polearm

Now i can use 2 attribute point AND 4 Skill points.

I improve my STR ?

I improve my Weapon Master points ?

I want to play only cav

Thanks.  :D

Well, first of all your build is terribly uneffective as you might have noticed already by playing the game.
I believe there's no need to have that much agi even for light cavalry, but if you really want to do 9-30 build, I would suggest this:
Code: [Select]
Level:           30

Strength:         9
Agility:         30

Attr to skill:    1
Skill to attr:   10

Power Strike:     3
Athletics:        5
Riding:          10
Weapon Master:    5

Polearm:        146

I'm not sure it would be as ineffective as you say, cav is really strong when you ride "in the wind" (manoeuver like a pro and always hit with maximum speed bonus) so you dont need as much power strike as other classes.

Then if you're a newbie I suggest you try to power up a bit more, but having more riding = faster / more manoeuvrable horse = more evading potential (less deaths) more speed bonus (more damage, more kills) ((IN THEORY))


I would like to try a build like yours once...

Remember that you have extremely low amount of hit points. Two arrows from a horse archer can take you down.

What is Hit point ?

Post by: Ronin on May 08, 2013, 08:32:26 pm
It is health points. How many damage your horse can take before it dies. (There is also an armor value for extra protection)

Yeah, health points. I didn't mean the horse but the character, who has 40-something hp :D

9/33

Jousting Lance exclusively.

11 Riding
3 Ironflesh
3 Shield or WM or Power Strike (for infantry/dehorsed viability). I'd go with the shield probably.

Use a heavy horse. Mamluk with 11 riding is absurd charge damage + speed damage from just running into people, not even counting couching.

What is the best heavy horse ?

Post by: Jarold on May 09, 2013, 10:31:55 pm
Destrier is the best heavy horse the second best is cataphract horse....does anyone else feel like the cataphract horse is smaller than all the other horses?

Destrier is the best heavy horse

I'm hesistant to consider the Destrier heavy, I mean, +3 Courser has more charge than +0 Destrier does now after the change to it.

I think you should soend your points into STR, 9 STR so 3 IF and 3 PS isn't effective in my opinion, to be honest. I would make my strength minimum 12 so I would do less a bit damage, 15 is what I would go for, but all in all at the end it's your decicion. So MY suggestion is putting them into Strength!:)

Why Cataphract is the best heavy horse ?

Heavy eastern warhorse is not better ?

and Plated charger ?

Post by: Fredom on May 10, 2013, 10:48:35 pm
Well, they are all heavy horses. But! Plated Charger has most hit points, indeed, but speed and maneuver are horrible, same at eastern in my opinion. Carafract has good speed, many hit points, a good charging bonus and maneuver is good for heavy too

Heavy horses might be too slow in speed and manuever for cavalry, but you have 10 riding already. I'd say don't worry and pick the one you like. You have to keep the upkeep in mind too.

Hi,

I have take the Cataphract horse.

I like it.

His legs are protected by armors.

But I think he is slow.
