tbh, cav is still melee.
I think im going to allow it, will see if things get really bad.
Wooki - why some peoples against cava?
Just imagine a situation:
1.I am on horse. You are not ^).
2.Of course you can have a pike. To fight with me you need something long (as pike of lance).
Without "anti-cava" weapon you can't beat me, but I can ^).
3.But to fight with other infantry (usual) using other weapon (sword, spear, e.t.c.).
4.From one side you are attacked by enemy team.
5.(and most interesting) what I am plying (riding) right behind you (and your mini-team - who are close to you).
I am not far away from you (about 3-4 meters). So - I can anytime hit you with my lance. In very short time (from my decision to attack you to landing my weapon).
It is some seconds (2-3). You can't reach me. Totaly ^). If I will not do a fault.
But I every second keeping you under the threat(danger).
If you will change you weapon from pike to close-combat weapon - you'll recieve hit from me.
If you will turn around from me (to other enemy) - you'll recieve hit from me.
If you trying to scare me by taking a pike and running on me - I will ride from you to other.
I will do all thing like above to other your teammates.
And when you change your pike to other weapon i will be back very quickly ^) .
I am free. I am invulnerable. While all your back line (I mean all mans staying in 2nd or whatever line) are vulnerable to my sudden attack.
On "normal" server horses afraid to ride near from infantry cos. of throwings, Xbow and bow.
Here is no "anit-cava" classes. So Cavalry are in this case like .... you know ^)
Even if yout teammates (and you) looking around 1 sec ago (to check where are the enemy).
Even so - in next second you can be killed by me.
Cos I can ride at full speed across your lines.
So. IMHO here is not needed additional reasons.
Or it is clear or not.
And, of course, It's up to personal feelings and flavors(?).
I have much greater speed than you
