Cavalry nullified in Strat 3.0 - gold nerf went too extreme

[mandible/splinteryourjaw]

This destitue fool wants cheap donkeys, that never stop and kick anything near them, added...also they should be able to carry 4 troops and fifty goods each.

While we're on it camels also...cheap enough so I can switch from donkey to camel when in the desert.

Why?

People have been riding horses for centuries. Its not like no one used them until they reached some sort of arbitrary economic point then decided to gather the horses and start riding them. They're a natural resource and even some of the poorest civilizations in history still rode horses at least occasionally.

Fielding a heavily armored warhorse with a dude in full plate on top should be difficult.

Fielding a dude in a padded jacket with a pointy stick on a rouncey should not.

yeah this sums it up

YUP! Agree to this! Horses were used everywhere.

Excluding North America, which ironically, I believe is the continent you live in.

While I agree the massive gold nerf and new item prices are ridiculous, I have to remind you that the dev team won't give a damn about realism with balance is involved in the slightest fashion (even when it's a major imbalance), let alone realism that isn't accurate.

[Overdriven]

Yes but even balance wise...it's silly

Its more balance than realism, cos why you cant get horses in a half a horse game?! Isnt that MOUNT&Blade

I really agree that at least the worst horses should be cheaper. As one said, having a shitty horse and peasant outfit was for everyone in medieval times, but armored warhorse and full plate for lords and wealthy ones.

that's not irony

[Thax]

Spanish horses became wild horse (see mustang) that were then tamed and utilized by what would become known as the plains Indians tribes.

While I use ironically incorrectly all the time, this time it was rather accurately used. You would have thought that if a place existed where horses weren't utilitzed for a while, then as an inhabitant of that area, he would be more likely to know of it rather than if he didn't come from such an area. But in the end, he didn't know of it.

However, I guess it isn't irony if he isn't actually from North America.

Also, I thought that was pretty self-evident. How did you translate this to where you didn't see it fitting the definition of irony?

Thread successfully derailed after 6 pages of waiting for a developer response as to when this unbalanced feature will eb fixed and cavalry players can actually play in strategus.

[Overdriven]

Yup...some form of response would be nice.

[Remy]

Gifs me my horse(s)!

[TommyHu]

they had to nerf cav prices because cav was so useful in strat when all the battles are sieges or village battles
