impressions from a cav rider 80 percent of the time 10 percent archer and other 10 cheap infantry. 1h/shield is broke vs polearms and 2h. Archer vs Cav. right now archers are super duper accurate it seems, and now my shield does squat for me unless im holding the button. Why allow the shield to look like its blocking in couch animation if it does not? for instance if you have a lance couched and off to the right your shield is blocking your front. Yet you still get shot ? My experience with the spear thrust via horseback the animation from block to thrust is so slow i can hardly score hits without taking major damage even though i outreach them. seems im taking speed damage at walking speed of a sprinting cav. Also in warband I would easily go 40 and 2 via cav so no they are not nearly as strong as they were in warband. Throwing is still viable it seems. Personally I wouldnt know from the throwers perspective. Im horrible at it and I avoid it. That being said i lost 99 percent of my health to a javelin in the leg not 20 minutes ago running away from him on foot. Not a Pilas. had to even double check cause of the damage. I personally dont wanna play if your going to nerf cav to death and 1h. As an archer I usually go 20 and 6ish and 20 plus assists on any siege map. Mind you this is all siege experience. Not a fan of skirm 6v6 if it was skirm like warband 30v30 or something id be down. take it with a grain of salt its from a cav rider. Again though they are not near as strong as they were in warband and now they are too weak for the coin and amount of effort when I can spawn an archer sight a cav and laser him in one shot and steal his lance and shield. Also need to fix arrow duping. I love doing it so i can have 100 arrows and find a corner an snipe but its op. One more thing was horse speed seemed alot slower.again those scores id say were an average. most of the times im playing without contacts or glasses in the morning. in the evening after warming up ill easily put those numbers out or more. anyway. my 2 cents minus 1 cause you all hate cav in a game called Mount and Blade...
