Having balance consider multiple variables with different levels of importance would be a plus.

Class (skill/stat allocation) > Level > Banner > Score. Something like that, idk. Been suggested before, Banner still plays most important role apparently.

Long time ago Lactose_the_Intolerant here,
he was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny thread... in the middle... of the forum.

And the thread said;
"Fuck this GK cav clan out of the world, or I'll GTX."

And he typed the first thing that came to his head,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Thread in the World, it was The Best Thread in the World.

Look into his eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the cav doth grow...

Needless to say, the forum was stunned.
Dramadrama went his whoopy tail,
And the forum was done.
They asked him "Be you a woman?"
And he said, "Nay. I am but raging."

Cav!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!

I have to say, nice poem! Do you write them on the moment or do you have them saved in a corner of your computer and just stick in the words that fits the situation?

meh
Hello all.

I will start by a short disclaimer stating that this is not a whine thread. It is purely here to point a problem that even a 7 years old kid could notice. I have to do this because sadly there are many arrogant people that, when we put them in front of a truth just go : "lol newb, stop QQ"


izdo, it is very fine taking throwing, i believe you'v seen my throwing equipment on the battlefield. And trust me, 6 jarids and a throwing lance is really not enough to defend but myself.

Yeah, I did saw it. If there would be more ppl with decent cav awareness and decent equipment, cav wouldn't stand chance..

Hell, at least you have siege server...

Anyway, as much as I dislike cavalry with everyone else, someone can say the same about archer clans, or clans with lots of melee.
Hooray for customization and hybridization!

So, that's an interesting post. What is wrong about clans with a lot of melee players?

Starting with Archers and cav, they are annoying you and most people but what about melee now?

ok lets have your hoplite guys vs the GK guys!  8-)

froco, a full melee clan, in my opinion, scares no one...

a an archer squad can be annoying but they can be overcome

You'll forever be Kapikulu anyway.

Also.

I'm a cav and sometimes it's a bit odd to see 30 vs 3 cav in EU1, it makes some variation but gets boring fast, I believe there should be more class balance but splitting clans up is not an option, so there need to be proper suggestions for this.

Taking the GK clan out of the equation for the moment, the fact remains that there is, and has been for a long time, a flaw in the way that the game balances cavalry.

I admit that in recent weeks I've only played Eu1 when 2 has died, so the server often has only 60 players max, but time and time again it is the case that an overwhelming majority of cav players will be on one team, regardless of banner, etc.

Even more oddly, when the game decides to switch a player to deal with imbalance, it almost always switches an infantry player from the cav dominated team, which is almost entirely ineffective and does not address the imbalance within the teams at all.

Clans stacking to win constantly is/has been a fact of life on this game for a long time and I have no major issue with it, I won't begrudge others the extra teamwork, etc that they have worked towards, but as I've said, an issue remains with the balance of cavalry, the GK thing here serves to highlight the problem perhaps, but talking about clan/banner balance, etc, is wrong as it takes attention away from the fact that there is a flaw in the balance system that has nothing to do with those things.
