Melee cavalry is underpowered at the moment (Suggestions updated)

For gameplay reasons in preserving troop hierarchy for id rather they err on that side. This way just looks silly and sad.
Eh i also want cav to be better but no WB better like you charge 50 swadian knights into a group of rhodok glaives and pikes the max you lost was like 10

I get that but what im saying is at the moment - the mechanic of Cav attack is broken. Its not just a few math numbers that need to be risen or lowered to better accelerate/decelerate a swing. You need to first fix the mechanic and THEN you can choose how speedy/penalized etc their attack should be -atm its broke

Yes i understand
 
Jesus i just had an epic fight against some hardcore Sturgs. Didnt look like much at first but man me and my cav units and the army we where escorting for sure did have an fight of our lifetimes xD Funny thing is that even if all my cavalry men went down except 1 or 2 out of 15 due to some mistakes i did with management, everyone damn survived it and they got a lot of kills to banking us couple of k in the pocket :grin:

Yep and they do it well at times to. Ive seen an spearman taking down 4 guys once before he payed the iron prize. But this one was hunting an horseman at first to be fair

Yea, he may not have time to update his loadout and change to the 1H. Pity, I would like to see spears used in foot on foot combat. Especially when in formations.

Ive seen em trying to do that at times to but the thing is..before he even managed to get his sword up he was dead

But why use a spear when you can chop the legs of the horse is the real question xD

Think ive made the quickest 15k of my life on the battlefields (warrior wise/cant beat bandit playthrus)...3 battles and not an scratch on my cavs xD (well one or two got knocked down but think it was one of my companions, still have the 20 left)

Mounted AI units in Warband mods were much more effective than bannerlord. A mounted unit in Warband is far too easy to kill. In fact I don't think I have ever been killed by a mounted unit in Bannerlord. It's always javelins from foot soldiers.
