SHIT!!!!!!!!!I missed the most important!

So these Chinese people are getting mad at CRPG developers because it is not exactly historically accurate?

Get with the times....  It has never been accurate.

Shanghai_Brave doesn't represent the majority of Chinese CRPG community in anyway.

Weren't Yumis designed assymetrical so they could be used easier on horseback?

Edit: Did some actual research (Wikipedia) and it shows that this theory was disproven due to the yumi being older than Japanese horse archery. However it is made of bamboo, thus making it light enough to be 1 slot.

Shanghai to go home, most of the CN players do not agree with you, you have a little paranoid.

I believe the Yumi design was made to be easier shot while kneeling or on one knee, because you hold the bow with the bow length above your hand longer than the length below your grasping hand.  This feature also helped maneuver the bow left and right on horseback easier because it gives more room.  While holding bows like euro longbows, you hold it mainly in the center.  I'm not 100% correct though

cRPG isn't a game based on formations and never will be

tbh i've seen people on Chinese servers making a horse formations on plain terrains very often:

So, it's quite easy to form a group of cav players together and I do not see any obstacles in the game engine / interface, that could prevent you to organize such powerful formation. And if in on-line mode most people aka shitlords just rushing madly into a battlefield separately, it doesn't mean that this game isn't based on formations. And the singleplayer is literally based on formations, and you cant successfully beat the enemies if you don't manage your squad's parties / formations with correct orders.

You will never, ever see "formations" of heavy cav succeed in this game

I remember Krems playing in early April with 6-8 players, each one mounted at heavy horse. And they were destroying everything around just before they disconnected at the late night. So I already did have seen that the heavy cav squadron is kinda successful in this game

Anyways I am totally agree with Shanghai_Brave. Horse is not a monkey ffs!

still a fan of the idea to remove horserearing and replace it with a bonus against horses damage type. 

[cfuvue]

This thread is hilarious. but if it is possible, i would like to see bonus charge stats for cavalry riders near each other, similar to the shield bonus mechanic. With the current charge stats on most horses (medium-light, 6riding and less), they do not deal much damage at all to people in 40+ armor when bumping. Formations would only really work with lancer cavalry and it would be interesting to see actual bumping to be the source of damage if cav was stacked.

[Torben]

its not about the damage,  but being stopped by every "daisy" as someone else has mentioned fitingly : )
