Horse xbow is imo the best class to counter lance cav and roh is usually the last alive no matter what class he is
But really if you just ignore him and kill his team horse xbow is utterly useless
This!
A good horse xbow will destroy your teams lancer cavalry. It's the best counter to lance cavalry IMO (one horse xbow won't stop 8 lancer cav, but he can consistently tear up horses, and if you're not blocking, the lancer).
They aren't that great 1v20 when there's 20 infantry left, but that's not the horse xbow fault...and I've seen Roh 1v8 and win because the infantry kept chasing after him instead of hiding behind a tree and waiting for Master of the Flags to spawn.
He's not a delayer, stop bitching and crying about a perfectly valid, and useful class.
And turbo, siege was more popular because NA1 was down for a while last night.
I like battle servers because you have all classes, and the maps are much more balanced (for either side to have an equal chance to win). Horses were on the battlefield in the period that we're playing the game from. Sometimes cavalry are strong versus infantry, bitching about cavalry is like bitching about any class that is strong versus your class.
It's called MOUNT and Blade. If you're organizing an army (for strategus say), for an open world battle, you're going to be bringing at least a 1/4 of your army as horsemen, otherwise you're a fool. Why would you expect it to be any different on the battle servers?
