unless the 2h player adjusts his position accordingly, with normal athletics and reduced turn speed of most horses (maybe arabian is an exception) you should be able to counter this turn :P arabians are far less common now due to riding 7 needed ;)

Counter his turn? How? You plan on not only outrunning the horse, but speeding to its other side, before the lancer can finish his animation?

Vs competent cav it does not work with 8 athletics even. Pray tell, how much athletics did you have when you managed this miracle vs let's say Tommyyy (since you say vs anyone)?

horses cant go at right angles, he is travelling the longest side of a triangle, to match him you have to move the shortest side :P and if you are incapable of that, as overdriven said, hes not couching so block down :P

I enjoy how this is still being discussed when devs have repeatedly said the changes are being reverted.

save your keyboards the bashing folks, its clearly in vain.

dont mind xant / siiem they are useless at killing horses obviously thats why they try to lobby on forum so they can kill more with their "super hard class"

anyways its true any decent 2h can kill horse easily, when it comes to 1vs1 situation, more skill is needed on the cav part to get the kill

fun fact: i remember one of them going the ez mode, and bottom scoring the board, but not sure if it was either siiem or xant, they are like brothers so cant tell a difference really

Here, I even drew an image!

http://postimage.org/image/2q7p9iodg/

Green is the 2her looking to kill himself some cavplayas. Red is the not-incompetent cavplaya. Red steers to the right at the correct moment, green has no chance of hitting the horse or the rider before the lance hits him. Pink is the lance of doom. If the cav player's timing is right, this will work every time.

Maybe this will even teach some of you GKs how to do it, you're welcome!

Which defeats the purpose of stabbing at the horse if you have to be defensive. So again as xant said, you can't do it.

this is not a good diagram :P I think us GK's should teach you how to draw diagrams...

adaption of tactics, its a common thing :P

anyways as chagan said, not worth it with you two, if you are incapable of killing cav it just makes it easier for us :P

Pfft, you may insult my paint skills, but you get the point.

Or not, my explanation made all the GK speechless because they realized they're wrong. O well.

You are right, a stationary 2h will get pwned by good cav. Now what about 2h that can move ?

The only "sucessful" move in that senario is if the 2h moves away - i.e no chance at killing cav.

He will avoid and live. But the purpose of this discussion what that the GK says a good 2h will always be able to kill the horse with a stab. Which they haven't come with any other message than "U guys suck, l2p lolol, we are great khans our epic skill is pr0"
