cav fest and the trouble cav has.

Heavy horse give you the advantage of being focusfired by archers instead of the horse. I mean, when i am on courser, i usually die after dehorsed, on heavy horse my horse outlives me in most cases.

one loompoint is enough for 2-3 gens of fully heavy cav, and with the incrising price of loopoint, that number might rise soon

EDIT

my eqipment with which i play heavy cav is worth 100,502 gold, upkeeps can be pretty shocking, especially mamluk hore , but all in all its doable

yeah, and that's fair, but not for the new people, who first want to have some heirloomed stuff, or have no heirlooms at all. they can't do that, and i'm not asking for you to be able to always have 100k on equipment, but 60k or so should be cool for cav. and then increase the price of light horses

Horses dont need nerfing. I insist that the nerfed archers are the problem.

These are for stopping cav situations:

The person should be stunned for a second (unable to attack or get off the horse) if their horse is stopped. This will also be a solution to cav crashing into walls unharmed, but not as bad as taking a lot of damage.

Fix shield forcefield protecting horse. Even attacks that hit near the head will just get blocked sometimes, especially mixed with turning the horse away.

Increase speed required to bump (makes it easier to kill cav once stopped). You're attacking a stopped cav, when it starts moving it's still really slow, but that's enough to interrupt your attacks if you're close enough.

Fix glitchy positions after getting dehorsed. Some people even get TKed over this.



I don't really consider these much of nerfs since these are mostly conditions when a cav is stopped anyways.
A nerf would be something like making the bump/knockdown hitboxes more accurately fit the horse.


I wish there was an increase in lance angle by 15-30 degrees at the cost of a short maneuver delay when attacking to give them better offensive capabilities, but more risk to get stopped when attacking.

cav was automaticly buffed because archery was nerfed

Only read so far cause its wrong. I see horses going down everywhere because of horseheadshots.

And to the usual nerf cav crying: Its bullshit, it is very much fun to fight against cav on foot and very balanced. Of course if they coordinate or surprise you you're fucked. But in the same manner you can surprise them by beeing ready or moving smart.

This...i went footman for last gen after several generations as cav, and i had fun battling them. Even tho, back to cav now, as an infantryman i saw like 1/3 of most of the maps, but as horseman i get to see them whole

yeah, I am allways surprised when I play my cav alt (seldom) what part of maps there are.


Also I know read the rest of OPs post and its wrong, too. With my alt I have arab horse, heavy lance and switch between low and high armour and melee weapon and do very fine with money. Thats no crap gear.
And what you mean with cav you want to be? heavy armour, highend weapon plus good horse?
