Horse Speed + Acceleration

[Overdriven]

thats why you gotta wait until infantry is engaged with enemy infantry and then attack the flanks. Hammer and anvil style.

Yeah we tried that. Problem is with a proper cav charge is that regardless of where you form up your easy to see. Those pesky polearms are awaiting  Probably about half of us got stopped in our tracks...the other half probably took a fair amount of health with bumps and only a couple got kills. You kinda expect a properly organised cav charge to do a lot more.

Individual heavy cav that's fine though.

in my opinion, cav is all about speed and range. A slow horse is a dead horse. Game lost it's feeling when the 40 degree polarm thrust was introduced.

i am rarely on TS. Onimaho and dexxtaa both know me. I killed Dexxtaa plenty of times.

Me and alot of other RS members have saw you on the steamchat long ago like maybe twice in several months and you were never talking ingame, it has been a running joke for awhile in RS because you were so silent and no one was really sure how you joined.

not enough people to do a full charge, more people=more mass=more effective shock and awe. As it is, its probably better to do solo or 2man heavy cav squads and rape the mass of infantry from many directions, rather than one concentrated mass of lancers.

Not enough people? There were 15 of us, about 9 or so GK and randomers who joined in 

But yeah it worked from the awe perspective. It just didn't from a kill perspective.

I'm just surprised it wasn't so effective. And that was against random pubbys.

[cmp]

Hmm did the values get adjusted again

Yep.

NERF CAV NERF CAV

[Overdriven]

Yep.

Acceleration is much better, even if top speed isn't great. Thanks.

yeah not enough people, heavy cav charges was a psychological weapon more than an actual damage weapon. The thundering oh hooves, the glistening of the armor, the terrible charge and carnage of a horse on man encounter, this would break most militia and mercenary battle lines. This obviously doesn't work in a game where theres no such thing as morale, because when people die they just lose the round. IMO there should be a lance thats couchable only and is equal to the length of a longspear, only pikes can counter those cav.

[Leshma]

Yep.

What is buff?

[tankmen]

see i knew i wasnt just making shit up, i was tired as hell and hadn't played in a few days and i hopped on last night at 2 and sat there waiting for my horse to reach 20 mph, checked equipment to see if i was riding my sumpter, then realized i must be out of it and went to sleep.
