God yeah I'm glad more people are noticing. I've been whining on
reddit and the forums for days, so hopefully TW are actually aware of it.
Sieges are even worse, and it doesn't get any better when it comes to cavalry, either. Right now, formations are useless and the amount of heavy infantry you have barely matters, because nothing has any real weight and collision.
Another small unrelated thing I've noticed that's missing from 2016-2018 builds is being able to attack multiple people with a single swing. Odd. So maybe TW are just experimenting.
