can all go die, like the skilless, easymode my old friend no lifes they are
First, have you tried cavalry? If no, you don't know how hard it really is. Cavalry is expensive, I lose more gold on a horse than archery or throwing or even infantry. On a horse, your speed is an enemy, your enemies can one shot you with a hit that could take away 1/4 of you hp on foot. Your back is open to everything like archers to infantry. Infantry swinging at your horse's back will hit you too. If you don't plan your attack, you'll end up dead fast. If you don't strike at the right moment, you could end up killing your teammate(even though they bother me sometimes). Infantry and archers could target your legs, they aren't usually protected by the shield.
Yes, cavalry is easy in some ways. I could easily one shot people the same way they can one shot me. Bumping is an easy way to stun your enemies right before swinging so they can block your attack. Couching is easy too, gathering all your speed to ram a metal tip on a long pole into somebody, easily one shoting them.
Don't get me started on mounted range. I know I've played Horse crossbow for a long time and it's really easy to get kills without getting dirty. But when you think about it, if I miss my target, I'll have to reload that takes enough time for range to kill me. Not only reloading takes for ever but if I get hit but an arrow or slash by a weapon, I'll have to start the whole process over with. Even though HX takes awhile to reload and shoot, HA is even gayer than that. Reloading at high speeds that can kill somebody in a hurry. But only thing HX has that HA doesn't is more agility points, HA have to put more points into strength use use bows like the horn or yumi while the HX can only have 6 or 8 to use the hunting or light.
