    Actually Preston, the rules I have there aren't the EXACT rules we use.
    We have incorporated Eles and desert cavalry to be 3 points each since they are overpowering. And heavy chariots are 2 and light chariots are 1.5 so that you can't have 6 light chariots, etc.
    As well, the horse archers are all considering light cavalry. So you can still have 6 horse archers and 4 regular infantry archers if you wish.
    The 4 max archer rule was strictly for infantry archers.
    We wanted to keep the flexibility of allowing all the units in the game but try to keep it where it would be better balanced and not have the uber units rule the battlefield everytime.

    I just didn't go into that detail for the cavalry rule, as it didn't seem necessary at the time and would be confusing. I just wanted to get across the concept of a point systme with cavalry.
    I've made a list for all the cavalry in the game and what points each is worth (listed by faction).
    I can place it here if you wish - I'd really like your feedback on it.

    You have many people playing as Parthia under these rules? I think it's probably a sacrifice to avoid cavalry spamming, but Parthia are fun to play. I would personally be inclined to have a super heavy cavalry category as well (Catas + Praet cav), but that's just me.

    Well I wanted to put in a rule of 8-10 cavalry points for factions likes Parthia and Scythia so that they are seen more.
    These rules are new rules for the clan I'm in and haven't been tested really thoroughly yet.
    And yes, Parthia and Scythia are fun.

    I agree. Parthia and Scythia are fun factions to play as even though I'm not that good with them,

    Actually - Nihilist - I wanted to actually go so far as to list HEAVY cav, Medium Cav and Light cav and get a really thorough list of what is what and split them up accordingly - but the chaps I play with didn't want it to get too complicated - plus it would be hard to remember and difficult to grasp for new players.
