Why are you getting 2 ironflesh when you could put those in shield or athletics?

...try this if you want an 18/18 cav build.

Isn't a Cavalry need Ironflesh ?  :

Anyways, thank you.

Yes, but 2 ironflesh won't help much. I'd go with Marathon's build.

No, the guy on the horse is not super weak to archers. It is the HORSE that is weak. If we don't factor in headshots, a cavalryman can easily wear around 40 body armour and afford it too. Your will only be able to afford light horse (you can thank chadz the horse hater ), so horse armour ranges from 5-20, usually under 10 off the top of my head. Decent armour does wonders in stopping shots from arrows. As a horse archer, I can take 5-7 hits to kill someone in mail, while the light horses only take about 3 max and often 1 or 2. And a horse is a bigger target with a bigger head to hit.

If you worry about archers that much, put more points to shield. Use the (force) field to draw arrows meant to hit the horse to your shield.

6 Athletics? That's good enough to be an infantryman. Not sure whether this is a cav build, or just a mounted infantry build.

How about this then ?

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

    * Strength: 18
    * Agility: 18
    * Hit points: 53

    * Unused skill points: 1

    * Converted: 2
    * Ironflesh: 0
    * Power Strike: 6
    * Shield: 6
    * Athletics: 4
    * Riding: 6
    * Horse Archery: 0
    * Power Draw: 0
    * Power Throw: 0
    * Weapon Master: 6

    * One Handed: 135
    * Two Handed: 1
    * Polearm: 100
    * Archery: 1
    * Crossbow: 1
    * Throwing: 1

So, It should be like this at 35

Level 35 (142 278 448 xp)

    * Strength: 21
    * Agility: 21
    * Hit points: 56

    * Converted: 4
    * Ironflesh: 0
    * Power Strike: 7
    * Shield: 7
    * Athletics: 4
    * Riding: 7
    * Horse Archery: 0
    * Power Draw: 0
    * Power Throw: 0
    * Weapon Master: 7

    * One Handed: 135
    * Two Handed: 1
    * Polearm: 100
    * Archery: 1
    * Crossbow: 1
    * Throwing: 1

ps. Could anyone please explain how retirement system work  ?

Wow, you went no athletics on undead? Well, I suppose you are a dedicated cavalry, meant to be better at cav but worse on foot.

[Dravic]

Flawless, how good is it for you? Do you get kills? What do you think: do you die too fast or you live long enought to get lots of kills? What horse do you use? Weapon?

[Flawless]

This build is geared TOTALLY towards cav. As a Result, Siege is not my best map.
Kills   1440
Death 1388 (mostly to pikes lol)
I use a Knightly arming sword and Ride a Courser.

[kongxinga]

I like flawless's build. It is dedicated enough to go toe to toe with pure cav, while being able to mix it up on foot, although as cav you do not want to be dismounted unless the "lol cav" map forces you to with invisible walls and unclimbable terrain/stairs. 7 Ride means only super pure 10 rides can give you problems, while you can ride circles around those people who dare go with 4 ride.

[MariusThePaladin]

How about this combination then ?

[corto]

u dont really expect an answer, do u?

hint: the xp

[Whalen207]

- Cut all the AGI.
- Only get 5 Shield
- Get 4 IF
- The rest is good. Might want a bit more STR than AGI.

[Cyclopsided]

For one; You probably want to retire at 31.
You probably will never even reach level 33.
and 35 is the HARD cap.
