Nerf cavalry to the ground in tdm

[AoC]

It's destroying the mode. Major part of the problem is free gold you get from being outnumbered. My proposition is 220 for light 330 for heavy. You can even ungimp their movement speed, i don't care.

More important, make hitboxes of stabs and polearm swings less wide.

ffs just take cav-breaker class with pikes and spears and farm free gold+free frags

You can't farm them, it's counter-productive. In time i get 5 kills, i can farm maybe one cavalry because i have to act reactionary. And cavalry is too easy too strong, and high number of cavalry create synergy effect unlike high amount of spears.

killing 5 khuzait rabbles will give you 5-50 gold depending on your class. Killing lancer will give you 50-100 gold depending on your class. Cavalry is ok and cavalry breaker classes/perks allow you to SINGLEshot them easily

guide how to kill heavy cav as, lets guess, menavlion class wtih cavalry-breaker.
stab upcoming horse in head+slash into head (100 % kill of horse) then deal 2 overhead swings into rider (90% kill).
I dont think it takes more than 10-20 seconds, which is average footmen duel time.

Killing 5 rabble will give me 40 gold regardless of class. And 5 kills, compared to one kill for killing lancer. And more points toward tdm, i'm usually in top 10%, often in top 3 ignoring cavalry.

IMO, cavalry would be less of a nuisance if peasant spears got buffed across the board

Sturgian Warrior - Sturgian Short Spear replaced with a Sturgian Polearm that deals less damage than most spears, but has a 187 reach (somewhere between the Aserai Long Spear and the Volgier's one-handed sprear)
Peasant Levy - Farming tool perk replaced with the pre-1.6.1 pitchfork. That thing was like the best kontos in the game and they removed it.
Recruit - Pila replaced with 3 javelins and a 180 reach one-handed pitchfork. I know this won't ever happen because Empire being bad is an intentional feature.
