Why do you think 1h should be weaker then lance?
Also, a bad placed lance wont kill you where a 1h with full speed bonus in your face will ofc kill you.
Simple ragetopic? 
Well first and foremost... I wasn't arguing bad lance placement vs perfect 1h swing placement. You're more than welcome to refer to my original post for clarification. Also, I'm not going to try to explain the physics of it in my own words. Just look up the definition of pressure and apply the formula to the areas of impact for both weapons. That should show you why a pierce damage lance shouldn't 3 shot me in armor when a swing from a schimitar kills me in 1 swing.
Let me just start my actual month late response by saying this. In no way, shape, or form, do I think cav is not OP. It is ABSOLUTELY OP. However, I believe that gold is a perfect deterrent for keeping 70% of the people who play this game away from cavalry gens. The counter argument to that is "blah blah blah people who have played this game long enough have the money to pay for it". To that I say this: A) Most of them suck once they actually try it. B) Most of them grow bored of it after one gen. C) Not everyone who has the money for cav wants to play it. D) If someone has been playing this game long enough to have to gold to pay for cav gen after gen THEY'VE EARNED IT. Continuing on, a lot of the people who play this game have a hard on for "realism" so I find it rather curious that people bitch about cav so much since it was OP IRL. There was a reason jousting tournaments were held in higher regard than any sporting events in "civilized" European nations during much of the first millenium. It was because Lancer Cavalry was the DEADLIEST weapon known to earth at the time. In all the months or years (I forget) that I've played this game I have never once bitched about anything being "OP" or "Broken" etc. NEVER HAVE I EVER asked for something to be nerfed, buffed, or changed at all. I would listen to all the nerds bitch and moan on the forums and laugh. I've finally broken ladies... 1h cav should not be able to one shot me with a schimitar while I'm wearing armor. Period. Personally I don't see why couches aren't blockable. Would have been an easy fix instead of going into the fallback nerf everything mode. Which of course always ends up going full circle and un-nerfing many of the things previously bitched about and nerfed in the first place because people bitch about everything in this game. But it iz wut it iz. Alas, this was, is, and will be: my first and last nerdrage post. Hope this message reaches someone who can at least explain why this is the case so I can squirt my mind to ease. Please let me reiterate for the retards out there. This is not a cav buff post!!! Just curious about why things is duh way dey is. The question has yet to be answered.
