A fair suggestion to balance cav.

[Bonze]

After patch and slot system, all clases were balanced. 2handers, hybrid xbowmen/throwers. You can't use an arbalest + a 2handed sword or pole. You can't use a huscarl +1h + sword. And a lot of examples.

If all items you can wear, take 1/2 slots.... Why horses don't take 1 slot? It's versatile and you can be a 1h+ shield cav, or a lancer, but don't allow you to be a 2 slot polearm/polearm cav or HA with 2 pack of arrows and a short sword, or a hybrid 1h/shield/pole cavalry. Here is my suggestion.

Fail... Fail


There are enough backdoors you can use arbalest + 2h sword + bolts
Throwing is balanced loool ...

Yes but only if lances take 1 slot because otherwise we can't have a weapon when dismounted and you reduce horse prices

OP, you suggestion is fucking stupid, for all of the reasons stated previously (and then some).

For my own biased and unnecessary suggestion regarding the 'fixing' of a percieved flaw in cavalry gameplay mechanics, see my "HORSE BURF" thread.
