lets see how cav got nerfed.....
1) lance and Heavy lance stats and speed was nerfed (grated it was then put back up....a little....)
2) all horses speed was nerfed and so was some maneuver
3) lots of village and hilly maps were put in with dogy ground that make people walk instead of run....
4) upkeep went up so now we have to be very rich to use the good horses or armored ones...
5) another nerf to speed and maneuver
6) acceleration nerf
Plus the LOL stab outreaches the Heavy lance
pike and long spear speed was upped a bit
one or two things i might of missed since I try not to know about theses nerfs so I accept it better and faster.
EDIT:
oh yeah lance stab angle was nerfed so their new main attack is backstabbing.....
