Remove ladders from battle

Headshot the god damn horse.

If you can't pull that off, don't play an archer. I can't, so I don't do it either.

Scores mean nothing. Yeah, cavalry can take out most of the fodder, but those are mostly the players who are just.. there.

Archers have one chance for shot cav. and head shot dont work (damage nerfed.). Bow draw time is too long for horse, cav come back time short than bow draw time. Only can block horse attacks.

Headshot works...depends on the horse/direction of attack. If a horse (anything below destrier) is charging you down, most horses will go down to 1 shot to the head because the speed bonus works in favour of the archer. Even with a horse charging side ways on you'll take down a significant amount of health.

it is so easy to shoot horse in head)) much easier then kill with lance on horse lol)) you all speak about archer, why you forget about xbows? people with rbalest just dont have next chance vs cav, if they dont kill horse with 1 shoot,  right now inf is just pissed off that ppl kill they from roof, kill other enemys, then roofmonkeys go down, like all time, but nope you all want just more free kills.

So if no roof , i want this- I shoot infntry in the leg , he run 2 times slower, next leg and he cant walk ok?

No more roofs for archers = even more cavalry. So unless we get deployable stakes at our disposal, I'm all agianst it.

Don't know if this is possible but I'll repost this suggestion from another thread.

How about making ladders break if they stop moving before the 90 degree mark? Any legit ladder will have it traveling further then 90 degrees to form a path to walk up. Using ladders to block doors usually makes them stop before going further then 90 degrees. If they fell back down and broke in that case I think it might make sense and solve the door blocking issue. I'd have to test it to know though.

Then you could have it so you cant break your own ladders as well as teammates, and anyone using them in tight spaces to grief their team would have their ladders break.

But the roof is our protection against cav.

For a temporary solution why don't people with spare slots just drop ladders at the spawn?

if ladders are removed, stakes will get in. so cav won't hit your asses as much

So for you a balanced "protection" against cav means you are completly immune to that class and can attack it ? Do you know ranged are the only class that can do that ? Afaik, infantry can't hide in the ground and attack archers and cav through dirt.

True archers don't have any problems being on the ground and dealing with cav. They can headshot the horse, dodge it... The cav is disadvantaged if he doesn't catch the archer off-guard, which is impossible if the archer is well positioned (not too close from buildings where cav can hide behind).

You do realize that not only is roof your protection against cav, it's also protection from infantry. What protection do infantry and cav have from ranged?

Aware cav rapes unaware archers and unaware infantry.

Aware infantry rapes unaware/aware cav and unaware ranged

Aware ranged rapes unaware/aware cav and unaware/aware infantry.

See the pattern?

[MaHuD]

As an archer I fully support this motion.
And would also like to point out that standing next to a building is the worst place to be for an archer, you have little warning time for enemy cav and no place to dodge.
Open spaces aren't that bad.

However, please buff the intelligence of the 2-handers. At the moment they seem to be unable to block down for a friendly archer to save him from being lanced. Instead they just let them die. They can learn a lot from those nice chaps that try to protect their entire team with the pikes/spears that they are carrying.

Teamplay is the way to go, not this "I want to duel for FAME AND GLORY". :/

Surprised at these results, guess its mostly eu 1 were its a huge plague. Every desert map, every round!

[Furax]

Whats with all theese archers that cant deal with cav..your the cavs natural enemy!!

Just wait until hes up in your face then release arrow..you (almost) cant miss and hel take shitloads of damage because of his speed bonus charging towards you.

Most non retarded cavalry will never charge straight towards any ranged aiming him down.

And am I also the only one who thinks going up on a roof just makes thoose people up there easier targets for more stealthy posistioned ranged?

Nothing like firing my crossbow into a cluster of archers on a roof...*thump....thump....thump...thump* music to my ears.
