The patches seem to be a constant switching between a cav fest and a ranged fest no helping that.
I personally prefer cav fest.
The thing that bothers me about the ranged in perticular are the xbows who are way too easy to use and the shotgunning that is back on EU_1 big time. Atleast lower the upkeep on plate so i dont lose 150K a gen using one to protect myself cuz around every corner an arbalest is waiting to take my life. Just playing atm and out of 6 deaths in this map 3 were xbows.
Good job on the the positive sides and condstant improvement, the balance is an hard thing to accomplish but the buff seems to be a bit too high this time a tad lower and i thing you got it.
As for the cav crying they are easier to dodge than bolts and arrows, a longer weapon helps
only thing u need to watch out is to spawn on time or else you just see Magandas couch in ur face. That also will never change ive come to terms with this.
The thing i suggest (if dooable) to "nerf" cav a bit and make them more vunerable is the weight of the armor to have an dirrect effect to the riding ability, something like wpf penalty with weapons. So the ammount of equipement you have on a horse effects you riding speed so the tincans, shielders etc. ride a bit slower.
