shootings cavs shields should stop their stab like in warband, rn u can couch archers at the right angle and even if theyre aware of u its 95% kill chance (maybe a bit lower vs. people with hands)
meanwhile inf can make themselves 1m50 and be impossible to footshot, some archer classes can take shields and up to 40 body armour, cavs can get +50 horse and body armour from rnd1 and get to play it twice if they save money for round 2, some weapons are ridiculously unfair (heavy menavlion, billhook), list of unbalanced features goes on............
the games full of gimmicks and has a rly low skill ceiling due to how infeffective bumpstabing is and how slow + clunky combat is. only high skill ceiling is archer which will mean the awesome 6v6 e-sport arena tournaments u're going for will be 6v6 medieval shootouts with maybe 1-2 cav thrown in the mix as charlini said
said not exactly engaging gameplay.
the engines trash to play on and we'll have to live with that, but the least u can do is listen to the community when they tell u to fix the broken class system
