The opinion of someone that talks about Deathmatch and Captain. It is not necessarily wrong but it just doesn't seem true when looking at Skirmish.wat did i just read
To actually bring this thread back to topic: one weakness of the current class system is that everybody can do everything. Infantry can mount, Archers can use throwing weapons and cavalry can use bows.
The reason why this is problematic is that heavy archers can be all around good units.
The Khans guard with the Glaeve is a strong pick for melee, a good archer and with a horse als a good light cavalry. On factions without dedicated heavy infantry I ended up picking heavy archers as they are just alrounders. One class that can be used for every role defeats the purpose of classes.
