Lance attacks too strong?

[Ibrahim]

lances are, if anything, very strong, but far from overpowered. the lethality, though high, is balanced by a low primary attack, and a slow animation. you only need to look at the stats of a cavalryman, say Hetairoi, to see that. the secondary weapon is in fact a lower lethality, and higher primary attack.

the entire point of a lance to to create shock, not fight hand to hand, so everytime you charge, always, always, always use Alt+rightclick.
