Increase cav upkeep

People have millions of gold. No problem to play tincan+tinhorse 24/7. Too much cav. Yes, its called MOUNT & blade, but the unique in Warband is the melee part. Personally i like a balanced team, i dont want cav to be removed, i like cav, cav is essential on any battlefield. But its getting out of hand. Id hate to see cRPG where everyone level 20+ were cav.

If people have millions of gold, how is increasing upkeep for horses going to solve anything, m8?

[Sniger]

Wouldnt change anything from day 1 of course, logically....

[Miwiw]

I don't think increasing upkeep would really help. Whoever wants to play cav, does it. If you pay upkeep for your horse 3 times a map (if a map takes 4 to 7 rounds) it isn't a lot. Many people have no problem to pay upkeep for most horses, hell, some even use a plated charger for hours.

Playing infantry has to be made more attractive.

if you want to deal with massive cav, then make every horse +1 riding requirement. If someone want to be cav, he should choose cav.

upkeep hits most the new or "life payer"

Fuck you, I dont have millions of gold, I play a little cav and then need to farm gold again with cheapass gear.

i just sell one of my loompoints wehn i am low on money, increasing horse upkeep wont change anything, i will still ride plated charger and bump people like vidar till death. Plated charger is already 4.5k upkeep, if it becomes even more expensive it should not be rearable than.

Plated charger is already 4.5k upkeep, if it becomes even more expensive it should not be rearable than.

please set it 10k upkeep and keep it rearable

Go suck a d!ck Sniger.

Cav is fuckin expensive all ready, plus you whiny qq whores all ready made sure, the map rotation is full of inf gangbang maps.... with no room for cav anyways. So give it a rest..

[Penitent]

Cav is fine.

All types of cav are currently worse than they've ever been.  Why would you choose now of all times to complain?

[HarunYahya]

Give infantry, formation bonus. Just like shield bonus when you form a shield wall, when people stay together buff their stats up and call it "morale effect" .This will enforce people to stay together in formation and deflect cav. ggwp.

Or don't. Actually staying alive is already a reward ... It's people who cause the problem. Too much stupidity...

The problem are largely the "best" horses, which are just too common ingame. If most of cav was riding around on a palfrey or rouncey, some on destriers / sarranids / coursers and armoured horses were a rare sight, cavalry would be a hell of a lot more balanced.

And then perhaps we could play on more open maps. Right now, you're either the king or trash because it's some counterstrike map. The kicker is that light horses (ok, sarranids and such are so agile and small that they are a bit of an exception) can be killed in one go if they approach badly an infantry formation. Heirloomed armoured horses can make many mistakes which kind of breaks balance, in my view.

If most cav were in rounceys they would be largely useless.  Have you fought on a rouncy?

add the nice matchmaking system and you have same clan cav team vs. shitheads-who-gonna-be-creamed
