I know you hate horseman but...

As far as I know this is a bug. Whenever the LOWERED shield is hit by a projectile, it doesn't take any damage, even if it's a ballista. But if you are BLOCKING shield hitpoints get removed the usual way.

I remember losing my shield from a projectile from the side :/ If it was a bug, it's probably been fixed.

Isnt he talking about "shooting through" the shield though? That is kinda still in native (and in crpg as well, depending on the shield afaik), depending on crossbow and shield. If you for example use a normal or even bad board Shield (rhodoks) and the enemy has a better crossbow he does often shoot through the shield and directly damages the player and not the shield. I did often take those risky shots and got many kills with that. That is why we always told our players to take the Heavy Board Shield if playing as Rhodok.
But what you are saying is true as well, I never noticed that my shield got any damage when I was not blocking actively.

I completely agree. It's terrible when a very expensive horse dies after 1-2 strokes of weak weapons in the legs. Made it is not so critical. Or add much charge the horses. If Plated Charger relocated per person in real life, people will not be able to continue the fight.

The dev will never change it because too much people whine about Cav. They are whine listener. The reason they did this it is because people said Heavy horse too OP. Now they are too weak = happy

It would be nice if the armored horses took less leg damage.

Full speed plated charger coming at me + me having (German Greatsword + 6 ps) = Mad horseman

I destroy cav, usually in 1 hit lol.

+1 to slight buff

the only thing they should do is remove the leg damage increase to friendly fire hits

anyone who is actually asking for cav buffs is an idiot or just REALLY bad at playing horses, simple as that

edit:  do you think good cav are trolling when they say cav is a fucking joke, not fun to play, and it needs to be nerfed because its so easy to kill countless people every round and map?  horses are still way too strong and simple to play.  double their prices and half their stats.

Yes cavs don't need buffs.

Dying from 1 long hafted blade swing on a full health charger is fine I mean it's not like that horse is expensive.

I don't know why cav complains about being too vulnerable. They are super mobile, they can pick their fights, and if they they don't take too much risk they could survive every round with a few kills and no harm taken. That way, even 0 armour and 1 HP would be OK for cav

i just owned a champ cata and i try it for over 7 times. Its awesome, nice bump damage and decent speed. But then when people hit my horse the first hit was like -15% of damage and i was like ok..., then another hit my horse lose like 80% of hp and i cant see the hp bar , then i press Alt+F4 to rage quit. Not even kidding but if you try heavy horse WITHOUT shield your horse can actually die in 1-2 hit...

Edit: will stick back to my rouncey for now...
