I think horses need a bigger upkeep or a raise in cost.

Now that everyone gets 10k gold an hour, everyone seems to have a horse and it feels alot like native.
I have almost not paid any upkeeprepair for my horse so far.

Horses should be a bit like plate armor, an expensive choice you have to consider, otherwise its horse bumping everywhere like native.

Give it a week and everyone can afford a plated charger.

I lost 8k today riding a courser.
Nearly every round I've got to heal that frigging horse, once it was 4! rounds in a row!

Unlucky i guess.

I played for 1½ hour earlier and not once did i have to repair my horse.

[Mr. Hannibal]

NO I DISSAPROVE!!

LEAVE HORSES ALONE!!

That is very lucky then I think.
I played a generation as HA with rouncey most of the time, and destrier often and paid at least every second round for my horse. Actually my horse was the item that did break the most times (well my other equip wasn't worth a lot though, except for the mw horn bow). Wouldn't like to imagine playing with a courser or warhorse every time. Depending on the x of course it could get expensive.

One of the reasons Siege is awesome.

Its fine. You can blow my rouncey away by looking at it hard enough. Horse bumps are just par for the course when you are an inferior being using your own legs (digital legs) like a chump.

I just re-specced to cav recently and i think the upkeep is pretty balanced. Its all down to luck, i can go a whole map without repairing my horse and make a bit of money and then i can have my horse repair 3-4 rounds in a row ( it repairs for 3.2k, and then you have to think of your armour, weapon, shield etc). Since ive started a couple days ago ive lose about 50 - 60 k. So yeah i think any more of an upkeep raise would be unreasonable.

remove cavalry and everything will be ok

this morning,  the bacon in my coffee was about 8kg long.  It doesnt matter though,  because I toasted a bottle of fries.

I am going to against this, it is very clear that the horses has a very very high upkeep. Compare it to native it is far much more expensive.

Horses got nerf already, what else do you want? Most of the horses can die from 1 hit if it was in the head. Even heavy horses are pretty much useless after the nerf.

Even if you got x5 it is still not enough to feed the heavy horse (3500 + money upkeep per round if you are unlucky)

keep your stupid retarded complain to yourself and stop making threads like these

[ThePoopy]

overall upkeep is to low, increase by 20%

First you waiste skill points on horses,second horses are not cheap to buy and maintain,horses die from 2-3 arrows or 1 bolt,or from one hit with any 2h/pole weapon,if you use plated horses other lancers or HA can easily cach you and you can't run that easily from them,you are more exposed target when you are on horse,and you need to use crappier gear unless you are filthy rich.
i am light cav-lancer and i use reinforced haumbergeon,sarranid mail boots,guard helmet,crouser,and lance i stated with 80k gold and i have now 110k,so i made 30k in this generation.
 Now compare with this i was infrantery 2h and i used bascinet,haumbergeon,mail mittens,war cleaver/great sword and sarranid mail boots and i made 300 000 gold in one generation.
i am light cav i make money,but heavy cav can only lose cash.
I am also very lucky cuz my horse brakes every 4-5th round,but sometimes it brakes 5-6 rounds in row. if i play with war horse only one map i get back to 80k very easily.
There is now a lot of cav,but there is not that much good cav. You can only see 2 Chase and some dude on A that are always first in scoreboard,but other cav is just in middle or bottom of scoreboard.
