Archery Buffs last year

For auto balance, one way could be calculating the shootiness(without throwing) of a player like
shootiness_player = coeff_powerdraw * player_powerdraw + coeff_archery_skill * player_archery_skill + coeff_crossbow_skill * player_crossbow_skill.
Then add up the players to a team_shootiness and compare both teams. If one team is too shooty and winning, move the shootiest successful player over.

There's not much point discussing playing cav except in the most viable way. You CAN get kills and do damage via a more frontal approach, but it's not as efficient and much more risky. I agree that even in Native backstabbing is the best way to play, but due to Native horses' tankiness they were able to be more direct, and could bump-slash/stab without worrying about getting reared and dismounted by a guy with a 1H sword.

IMO, cav was by far the strongest class in Native, but it's definitely not in cRPG. It's not just the fragility of cavalry, the class's maneuverability and stab radius have also been severely reduced. Its strengths lay in its speed and ability to deal a lot of damage at once, but because every strike needs to be so precise, it loses a lot of the finesse and IMO skill that you see in Native cavalry. I'd rather see a compromise of how cav is in Native and cRPG than what we have now.

Well I would have to agree with you on the native cav as 1h with or without shield cav does very well in native, in crpg though 1h cav sucks.

Archers are too powerful now, and you'll be hit by arrows all the time at the CN server. A horse can be shot and killed by only one arrow.

We need to buff Horse Archery it is completely unplayable. No class deserves to be unplayable like this.
