    10k for me too
    And I use only 2 rules:
    max 5 cav
    max 2 art

    Otherwise you get cav spammers, and only 2 art simply because imo art isn't really overpowered as in RTW, they aren't that strong

    Why max 5 cav though? Massed cavalry is harder to use as they just can get blobbed up and blocked. Cavalry restrictions in RTW 1.2 were needed, but they haven't been since BI came out.

    10k seems the best.... i dont know why these rules are popping out all over the place. Tbh the only thing that really needs a restriction on is the musketeers but i hardly play late period anyways ;-)

    10 and no rules = fun game

    Cavalery army is balanced because they are expensive and very weak
    Elephant no problem because they cost very much, only available for Timurids and easy to counter.
    Artillery= no art is stupid especially when you know all late European Armies have artillery units in their all battles and plus they are expensive,inaccurate but good to force your opponents to attack.

    Alot of the artillery units available are siege guns, not used on the battle field.

    10K, No Art No Eles, Flatland is fair game so far on MTW2 IMO. I'm not doing a cav maxl iek Sitg is, because I not for the idea, but then again, I haven't fought any cav spammers yet.

    Formigny,Castillon and Marignan are only some example of the power of the artillery on the battlefield in the medieval/renaissance period.

    Yea 10k seems to be pretty fair. I dont like the late era games too much though, i prefer high era with max 3 art as the only rule.

    That is what I want to hear. I want to use an all cav army and am delight to hear that it is weak. My objective is not to play it to win, but I did so in MTW to break the monotony of the 3-8-5 catholic formation (which was optimum in MTW but oh so boring).

    I was sarcastic earlier because if it were like RTW, where all cav was strong and played by weakmind people many times, I wouldn't play all cav and it made me sad.

    Cavalry and Artillery are expensive. If you stick to 10k games anyone spamming these units will get slaughtered by a balanced army.
    My only problem with facing someone with lots of Artillery is that the best tactic is to rush them, resulting in a very quick, easy, but boring win.

    Its quite normal to expect to see up to 12 cavalry in many of these factions army builds...
