Armored horses

wasnt heavy cavalry most feared force during medieval times?Its not as easy as you think especialy if you get reared by glance from lvl 1 peasant with pitchfork while riding +3 plated charger whos upkeep is more than your entire upkeep. Leave them as they are now, with this amount of markeplace scammers they wont ever run out of cash and will always be able to run on hippos.

Unarmored horses should take damages for bumping.

I think the horses Upkeep needs to be fixed. The upkeep of a cataphract/eastern Warhorse is only slightly lower than the one of a Mamluk/Charger while they are far superior horses. If you use a 3k+ upkeep horse this 600/700 gold won't make much of a difference. Would be nice if cata/eastern either got lower upkeep or some HP buff, because they die very fast when the get shot by ranged, while charger/mamluk only have to fear Arbalesters and throwers.

I think they should be cheaper but less like riding a tank (less armour/HP)

everyone who thinks horses are OP now should try and take a ride with current amount of ranged, good luck  staying alive even with heaviest horses.

Not necessarily saying they are OP there's just too many of them when more cav players use barded horses than not.

Yeah, it's pretty dangerous for the lone rider. Anyone being smart and sticking with the 5+ other cav on their team, especially if they're all armored, doesn't really have much of anything to fear. They're like ranged, they get progressively more dangerous(and easier to play) as their numbers and teamwork increase.

+3 Charger, is meant to do what i bought it for, stay alive. If i wanted a horse that died in 2 arrows then i would ride around on an unarmoured one, for the upkeep cost of 3700 i think im entitled for my horse to take a few extra hits, plus with the amount of HA, HX and ground ranged, a destrier or courser are completely uselss, becaus eyou are unable to charge any ranged.

People ride armoured horses, because ranged have made it unplayable to ride anything below the 40+ armor rating.....
Also the Heavy charger, Mamluk horse and the Plated charger are really good for 1h cav, since they can move in an take a shitload of hits..

Also, you really gotta be a mad jew to keep up, riding these ponies...

I miss the times where u could ride Destriders, Coursers and Arabian war horses without feeling like a kamikaze pilot..

Anyways, nothing to see here folks.... move along

PS: TYR, DID U RUN OUT OF GOLD :

Jews don't ride horses : too expensive !

[Grumbs]

And HA/HX try to ruin fun of everyone else with good kiting and survivability due to the horse

I understand, but at least target those ranged with your horses then instead of backstabbing good, honest infantry.

And yeah, mostly horse ranged are using heavy, too.
