Horses - how to improve difficulty

Okay, but isn't the exact point of this entire thread that riding a horse is too easy and that it should be made more difficult and interesting?



well to be fair the warriors of the time periods would be pretty damn good horse riders Cav should be the most powerfull class when used in a team. a lone cav shouldnt be able to rape so many people tho



PS how loud do you think a horse is? do you think you would hear one horse in the midst of battle? I propose that the more horses in an area the louder the hoof sound becomes

riders bumping into each other should deal damage to them and/ or there horses. Make riders who don't pay attention to team mates suffer.

Realism is nothing but an inspiration.

In the end someone has to envision how cav should work, and work it through.

if realism is the matter of discussion then I demand instant death when a horse on full speed bumps someone.

1. Make tapping W increasing speed (and depending on acceleration and to his max speed), not holding it
So it will be like car 'gears' + horse loosing speed when you r not tapping
sth like max 1tap/2sec(or slower) needed at full speed

Like this?

I mean, I kinda liked that but most people stopped riding horses in that game because it's frustrating for them.

TW2 horse riding is abysmal

Exactly what ever foot archer/xbower/inf want from this mod judging by all the latest QQ threads. (cept those can can deal with cav, like yourself).

Realism is removal of hollywood ninjas, who wear black and white kimonos, throw shurikens and spam katana. I bet you would like to be able to disappear/teleport when you use smoke bombs, thank god this engine doesn't support that.

ofcourse couch

I'm very sad to see that chadz is again planning nerf based on majority QQing and not on actual facts.

Cavalry player isn't OP by itself but in high numbers they can be OP. However that's developers fault because autobalance doesn't take classes into account, which results in silly round outcomes.

I'm not a piker but I really have no problem handling any cavalry player in this game unless I'm busy and unaware of their presence. You don't need pike to be good against cavalry, you just need balanced build and knowledge of game mechanics.

Problem is that we're often playing 60 players vs 60 players where first team can be consisted of very good players and the other of newbies who's awareness level is very low.

Fix autobalance and you'll fix many issues this mod has. Also allow hybrids again because making pure builds the dumbest choice you ever did. There were no pure builds in medieval age. Every mercenary had some kind of sidearm at least and he was good with it just like he was with pike or zweihander. Only in cRPG there are dedicated greatsword users who suck with one handed weapons and pikes. That never existed.

Also stop supporting imaginary builds, classes of soldiers that never existed in history.

You may not have much of a problem with cav because (atleast the times i've spectated you) you go alone, away from the main battle and being aware of cav is easier that way. But when fighting in the main battle it is incredibly hard to watch for cav and fight multiple enemies at the same time, and when you dont watch your back cav will either bump you down or just one-hit you :/

and your point is?

[Gravoth_iii]

That cav actually is op, and its not just us players fault for not being aware.

[Overdriven]

You lost me here. Why should riding be easy like walking? Riding is not easy.

Change that to riding should be easy like driving. Once you learn it's a piece of piss.

[Osiris]

I have an idea. ban all weapons but 2h and polearms (ofc no pointy sticks just polearms that are like 2h). that should make you people happy right?

[justme]

well i have difficulty at choosing what to aim.. if aiming low to legs, they just jump (even the heavy armored ones), but aiming high, they downblock or shields covering big area of horse

and cav with shield should loose some maneuver
