Id like to ask someone whining about how cavalry is overpowered in sp to describe what tactics precicely he is using that leads him to the conclusion its too strong.
If heaviest cavalry isnt able to beat nord or other heavy infantry in 2:3 let alone 1:2 or 1:5 ratio then theyre superbly underpowered in compare to reality, which they really are- horses arent going through enemy but mob at one place, horses are just standing like nothing was happening around them and cant move if a little pebble is in their way, their riders have no regard for any critical thinking etc. I personally use infantry only armies and dismount all cavalry while I fight on horse alone because this game allows ridiculous results from this while cavalry is useless/nothing to worry about with strong or average infantry. Id expext to loose 40 men if I was attacked by 20 knights out of some 60 on open ground. But it looks like someone expects 10 berserkers with unwieldable uberaxes chopping through 2 horses and men in full plate armour at once killing 50 of them losing noone.
If Im wrong then enlight me- whats any other use of heavy cavalry than to make it dismount and create a wall of horses infront of my infantry to make it harder for enemy to get to me in good order?
