I agree but my point is that you will never feel the need to update the normal troops into cavalry because you can just take the "better" cavalry units just as easy if not easier.No point in making elite units rare if they're ****ing useless
Cavalry gets an average of 0 kills when fighting infantry because the cav AI misses every swing and rides past them, + heavy cav dies in 2 hits
Yes, and that will always be so; if you give us the choice then we are virtually always going to choose the better toy. The problem with the old and more restrictive system was that the problems/imbalences it created were worse than the benefits it provided.I agree but my point is that you will never feel the need to update the normal troops into cavalry because you can just take the "better" cavalry units just as easy if not easier.
Hard pass.I like them more restricted, so when u meet them in battle they are a added challenge. No it seems half of calradia is noble.
I find it weird that you can recruit them in villages without owning the village, would the noble sons not have allegiance to their overlord? As I suggested in the suggestion forum, I would like to see a small partition in the garrison of castles that automatically slowly fills up, that way only the owner of the castle can recruit them, they help defend the castle, this will give you a reason to acquire a castle and this will simulate the sending of high born children to the castle to get an education and martial training. You could even tie this in with curtain building projects.

True for Vlandia but what about the Empire?There is no reason for the Vlandian regular melee cavalry option to exist while they have an elite cavalry option that's just better.
Its not only Vlandia its about every faction with the exception of the Empire. The empire is literally the only faction that only have the elite units as cavalry.(ofc not going to mention Battania (archers) and Aserai (normal troops update into horse archers)) Examples:True for Vlandia but what about the Empire?
True for Khuzait and Vlandia, but for Sturgia, Horse Raiders and Druzhinniks are (supposed) to fill a different role, on-top of that Horse Raiders are terrible at that role and terrible in general anywayKhuzait: No point updating into Heavy Horse archer when you can get the Khan's Guard just as easy. At least you have the option to update into normal cavalry here still the horse archer path is pointless.
Sturgia: No point updating into Horse Raider when you have Druzhinnik Champion.
Vlandia: its a joke.
Part of the problem is also that the AI uses them in huge numbers. So if you don't use them you will be putting yourself at a disadvantage.If you think they are too easy to get, then just don;t use them.
Screw what up for others? Rolling around with mono-troop parties?No need to screw it up for others just because you think they should not be that easy to get.
No.
You are right ofcourse. But, you are going to end up with a pure elite army one way or the other.
With the relative ease of raising good troops these days there is atleast some room for playing with something other than low risk Fians or Khan guards.
People complained, rightfully, about that grind.Having the same figure on previous versions required at least to grind a little, if you were motivated enough.
Sure there is, normal HA gets 2 stacks of arrows from tier 3-5, KG line has only 1 until t6.No point updating into Heavy Horse archer when you can get the Khan's Guard just as easy.
The raider is much better IMONo point updating into Horse Raider when you have Druzhinnik Champion.
The Sharp shooter is the real MVP here anywaysVlandia: its a joke.
Grinding, recruiting from prisoners or, even worse, silly mechanisms like converting bandits...The real problem isn't the destination but rather the journey, having more than 25% of elite on early game is a problem.

Sure, but that should be fixed through balancing elsewhere.Screw what up for others? Rolling around with mono-troop parties?
I think the default game should be balanced, varied, immersive, and interesting. Then people can mod it to the suboptimal way they prefer.
