Only player i respect form GK are kerrigan,he know to play as cav. Gk have tactic that they come with 10-15 ppl who ride horses,they have all stick together. So imagine now 2-3ha and one with courser and 2-3 with arabian warhorses and few with +3 destriers what they can do. They always make disbalance of teams and their team always have more cav so if they stick together as they do and ram others like police do in moust wanted like they do it is always garant of victory. I have no respect for them at all,because their strentght and skill is in number. Always when my team have more cav i have score like 9-1 kd.
I think this is called tactics and strategy. I personally think if you are fighting against them, come with some kind of counter strategy. What you need is some Rhodok discipline against their Khergit-wise invasion tactics. Just form a spearwall (schiltroom)+crossbow. Having 2-3 javelinmen would also help. Remember, this is something happened in history with the mongol invasion. But I hardly think it made a difference whether if their victims whined about mass enemy cavalry. Whining doesn't helps. But coming with a creative strategy, well that might help if you have a good one.
Arabian horse is totaly OP. It gives so much advantage to lancer that uses it,and only arrows can stop them. That horse always garant you win in duel with other lancers,unless you are total idiot or other player is pro.
I don't think lancers should be meant for duelling with each other. Cavalry's gamemode is battle, where 50 versus 50 is supposedly fighting. If you offer some valid argument that arabian warhorse users are much much more powerful in a teamfight; then we may think about it.
Arabian is small. The most OP combination is Arabian + shield + decent shield skill = absolutely lanceproof horse. This applies to all horses but arabians are so small that magic force field protect them almost completely.Even frontal attack on horses head often ends in minor damage when magically shield is hit. Rider is also sitting more in front so also its gives him a bonus to length of his weapon.
Combine it with super long (ghostreach) arabian cavalry sword and you have totally Op bulletproof one hitting ninja horse
So arabian Horses aren't magic but idiotic weaps balance combined with ultra forcefield makes them OP
Hmm. I personally don't know the statistics of horses. The old system showed us the horse scale, but now they are magically disappeared. Well I always have thought that arabian warhorses are a bit weak statistically. But if what you say is true, Arabian warhorse clearly seems powerful (I make no comment if it is OP or not. I just said powerful). Yet I think all of the horses are easy to being hit by
good archers and throwers, considering all of the horses have much more scale than the human body. It makes sense that being able to dodge ranged projectiles with arabian horse, since it has considerably very low health and armor. Which compensates their weakness, and brings a manner of balance in my opinion. Even though, they are actually open to hit no matter what. It seems like a total gambit between the archer and the rider. Whichever is better (Combine the luck factor with skill factor here, to determine which one is better) he/she simply wins.
