So... you can't use a light horse... as a heavy horse... Ya, that seems like a problem.

In battle, when I used my rouncey... he's dead 20 seconds after because 3 arrows hurt him.It's very unbalanced and not fair for cavman because we can't charge enemy with light horse. So i suggest to add more hitpoints or armor for the horses like rouncey, steppe horse, desert horse, palfrey, courser and arabian horse.

Its already pretty sad that most Horse can survive 100 P damage to the face

No to more HP, take away their HP imo.... but then again my opinion never matters I am just a silly xbow'er.

No. I just want to say that 3 arrows can kill the horse. Just 3 arrows.

3 arrows? I take it you've never ridden an Arabian Warhorse. 

[Rextard]

I disagree mostly, but I do think the horses could use some shin guards. Not the crappy plastic soccer kind either.

That's 2 body shots.



Armored horses aren't much better btw, as for some kind of antirealism reason, arrows almost ignore armor.

Well, it's a rouncey. A lovely horse, really, if used correctly as a light one. You need to hang back a bit and only engage when there are distractions, and learn how to become an unpredictable horse.

Speed bonus mainly to blame coupled with bodkins and an unusually large headshot box for the large horses. Shooting at one standing still, or riding away, and it is rather survivable.

Survivability is for the armored horses, speed for the light, and wings for the courser

I actually agree in a way. But not in the way you seem to want it. I think ranged attacks like arrows should do less damage to horses, its way too easy to hit a horse with a ranged projectile. And I think things like spears should do more damage to horses. It seems silly that an arrow or a darned rock can take off half of a destriers health, but a footmans pike that plunges halfway through the horses front... Through main arteries and major organs... Only does maybe 1/4 or 1/3 of its health....

I'm sorry but he is right..
This is not because there is an abuse of the number of cav these times should not see the reality.
Light horses are carton...

[Ptolemy]

If you buy a cheap horse, you get a weak horse. That's how things are and how they should be.

Nothing wrong with the rouncy. Nothing at all.

I was testing survivability of horses and champion Destrier managed to survive 2 headshots of MW arbalest with MW steel bolts on 10m range in like 50% of the times.
