It's true.  This game is ruined by infantry with melee weapons.  There I was, shooting people in the head and whamo, some jerk hits me with a sword.  wtf, dude?  THIS IS AN ARCHERY SIMULATION, GO PLAY WOW YOU ORC REJECT.
I tried switching to cavalry but again my fun was ruined by melee jerks with overly long weapons that keep trying to kill my horse.  F U, I CAN'T PLAY THIS CAVALRY GAME IF YOU IDIOTS KEEP KILLING MY HORSE.
Melee people are the rudest and least considerate players.  They should all be banned.
