This really sounds like a duct tape solution for a deeper problem, but I'm more interested about that we are going to have different class costs depending what game mode we are playing (aka. different balance). That's good news.

I disagree; I think map changes are the duct tape - because Maps are fluid, game mechanics are not. However the real fix will be in addressing how this class plays full stop - but that is beyond the scope of this thread.

Horses are getting nerfed as well.
Simple price change would've been a duct tape solution in my eyes.
All i needed to hear was:
Oh sorry I kind of already assumed cav nerf was incoming.
Thank you AVRC! As always your comments are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for response.

Thanks for the responses.
HP and armor reduction may be great for overall balance, but the siege problems will still persist. There will still be lots of OP cavalry running around creating complete chaos.
+1 Agree
This needs to happen SOON, cavalry are ruining siege, in fact, cavalry is ruining this WHOLE game. Game is named Mount and Blade and Mounts are litterally sucking all the fun out of it.
Im pretty sure its not happening ever, its same rumble such as ''remove xbows from game they are too powerfull sob'sob' ", devs perfectly know that game should be rounded up in a holy trinity (inf-cav-archer) in ALL gamemodes, both SP and MP
More of tweaks and fixes will be - this however is obvious, and if you saw the last statement about future MP patches - cav will have significally bigger price in siege mode specifically, which sounds like a good ideaw
Its all about the very nature of the mode. If we create a mode and call it "robin hood", and the mode is about a archery competition in which we aim at different types of moving targets. Wouldnt you agree infantry have no business there ?
Cant argue with that, the question however is why would devs want to add mode for only 1/3 of already small MP playerbase
Cav in siege can be, i would even say must be IMO, just need more better aproach - especially (!) on map design - i think mp-005 design looks like something done almost right in terms of cav (most half of castle is unbreacheble by cav, cav cant circle around in middle of castle, and a proper cav exit backdoor) while mp-003 is just a jack**** in these terms (cav goes onto ladders, massacres archers on them, circle around over last checkpoints like in a circus and no cav exit at all)
Also 90% of Warband Siege maps were designed for fighting on foot.
Smaller total area, lots of choke points, obstacles, elevation changes, stairwells, and flags placed inside/on top of keeps.
The Siege maps in Bannerlord (the few we've had access to) are very large -which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The only problem is they have large tracts of flat level ground inside them, which makes them a practical cav racetrack.

We will increase the troop cost of cavalries in Siege and TDM. Waiting for some development to finish to make it possible.
