I have enough money to ride plated chargers in milanese plate until I die of old age.. So that's a big NO from me, have you not seen LLJK's plated charger death squad? you want more of that? xD
MEANWHILE AT A SECRET LLJK FACILITY, THE PLATED CHARGER STRATEGIC RESERVE IS KEPT:
If horse prices are reduced, does this mean we will no longer be $All Money$ ^No Skill^
Also for anyone who is wondering, no you can't run around on a plated charge and milanese, even at x5 you lose money in the long run. You would need to supplement your income with selling off heirlooms I guess. But footmen and archers have a lot more in their piggy bank savings than most horsemen I would imagine.
The fact is that with the new changes to armor, it will also nerf the Heavy Cavalry. The reason the plated charger is such a tank is because everyone glances when trying to attack it. This allows you to get close to your targets, which you need to do because you sit much higher than when on other horses, meaning you can only slash at people right next to you. You miss players when swinging you would have hit on a smaller horse, which is why the cataphract is popular, it is the smallest horse for the armor and cost. Other problems for heavy horse is the inability to trample armored infantry, and not having enough speed to couch lance very well.
