It does represent the proportion of cav player, yesterday on percores server we had more cav player than melee !!!
If you want flat cav map go play on the shogunate server if it's still  there, it's only flat cav map.

Reroling cav next gen on my archer and melee, tired of playing pikeman all the time or shooting mainly horses.
 

Pecores always complain about cav... but just cause Gk was on your server does not mean most players are cav, just means there was a clan of cav dominating your server and you needed to come up with a way to stop them :P

Ok I feel this thread needs a bump because the situation is worse than ever on eu official servers, there are some nice desert villages but almost every other map is a village with high steep hills all over. The poll seems to say more open plains so can we have some? pretty please :)

More plains!
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

open maps are better for everyone. It allows you to fight who you want
PK is back

PK is a collection of elites from throughout modern and ancient history. Giants of Calradia individually, as a group these gods of combat shatter all expectations and ascend to a higher plain of victory that only a few have seen before.

Open plains is watching your team getting buttfucked by cav, in despair. No more of that, if people don't suddenly get smarter and follow orders, like sticking together, to actually get decent battles out of it. As of now, plains is shit, but they shouldn't be.
I voted Gurnisson cause of his fucking bendy pike, I swear noone can roflcopter stab like he can.

Agree they are fun when team work takes place but its rare that happens tho....
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

Most of the time, plain maps finish with suicide charge from the loosing team, since they don't stand a chance and want to quickly switch to another map, with more "chances" of winning.

The new desert map with some low hills, provide absolutely NO cover for infantry. You have the choice between getting rolled over by cav, or pinned down by range. Or ganked by infantry, if you're one of the few spear+shield man.
Just add some trees, and i'll be fine with it, but NO cover sucks.

One might think that people know that the term "caravan" was used in medieval for all trade routes, even in Europe.  :rolleyes:
Bjarky is responsible of desert's land, that's why he's looking for camels everyday. I'm in charge of hiring guards when a caravan has to travel in europe, where roads are not that safe.

About shield wall, it can't face all direction.  :rolleyes:
As for siege shields, one lance hit and it's down.  :rolleyes:

As for trees ! You can circle around them, they're invincible, and they stop horses ! They're awesome !  :mrgreen:

I feel like giving this thread a bump as it has been an extremely long time since I have seen any sort of teamwork / formation structure of an entire team on a public server. We used to get it on the rare occasion but with all these village maps, rambo tactics are encouraged and actual organisation is barely rewarded.

The best we see atm is clumped infantry trains. We used to have shield walls, cavalry lines and skirmisher groups.
