Cav balance

[antisocialmunky]

How is the team planning on balancing horses in EBII? The EB cav balance has been brought up several times in the EB forum so I thought that I should ask. Basically, Cataphracts beat every other horse type when they probably shouldn't be so deadly in hth where their armor weighs them down.

Shouldn't it instead be:
- Kataphracts are extremely powerful charges but aren't that good in melee due to all their armor.
- Heavy cavalry like Companions should have very powerful charges and be good in melee and fast.
- Medium cavalry is good in melee and very fast.
- Light cavalry is very fast.

So the balance would be:
- Kataphracts destroy everything they charge at
- Kataphracts are beaten in melee by Heavy Cavalry
- Medium Cavalry can beat both for cost
- Light Cavalry is just fast
