Heavy cav is expensive sure but that's not the only reason people don't use them

Heavy cavalry is trash. It's too slow which means all projectiles glue on you, and unless you have heirloomed weapons you will also deal shit damage as heavy cavalry (compared to faster cav which gives speed bonus). I've bought tons of horses and Courser and Sarranid should cost 50,000 - while Large War Horse and such should be 20,000 at most (just pointing out that this price would indicate the usefulness of these horses more than the one we have now). I think only Cata is useful in some cases but haven't used it myself in ages.
Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.

Cavalry needs a nerf indeed. Give 2handers the ability to stop and kill horses like this.

It is clearly realistic, as demonstrated in the above video.

"kills"... so that's what you rose boys call it. Ragni naked with his... coockies? Freudian slip? Mhm, mhm...

I now know why the clan's called "of Rose." It's an euphemism for "gay" if I'm getting this right. (Should've seen it coming though, we all should've)

Horses are fine :P

Im a Cav/polearm guy depending on the map im either on foot with a bec or the like or on my courser

The gear i use on horseback is the following :

Kettle Helmet
Heraldic mail with tabard
Mail chausses
Mail Mittens
Courser

Balanced Heavy Lance
Knightly Heater Shield
War spear (for some reason a load of people see you downed and think HEAVY LANCE HE CANT SWING! so completly lose the ability to side block ^^)

when on foot i use the same armour but just a bec or long hafted blade

I find that with a decent map rotation allowing for quite a lot of cav time as well as on foot my cash fluctuates around 20k give or take a few k If i get really unlucky my courser breaks a few rounds in a row and im stuck on x1 but to be honest that doesnt happen to often :P

Horses, like heavy armour, currently offer little reward for the levels of financial investment require to use them on a regular basis. They server a purpose of aesthetic styling more than any real practical application in cRPG.

I think he is saying that, ignoring the lightly armored ninja cav, the amount of damage a armored knight on a cata or higher will cause is going to be overcompensated for him wandering in peasant gear 80% of the time to gain back money.

In truth though, I am more scared of the ninja cav like the dynamic duo Rohyp/Ruff do, sustainable and deadly.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I agree heavy horses are not worth the cost. I don't see a problem with the light ones though. I thought Casimir is talking about all horses, as his post doesn't mention differently.

Hehehe, thank you.  :)
