Cav vs Inf

**Kronos** · 12-06-2006, 20:19

Go buy 2 trained horses, get 4 of ur freinds together and 2 of u on the horses charge down the other 3 head on and see what happens. The only problem I see with cav is that theu nit sizes are too big compared to infantry. In a battle there'd be 40,000 infantry to 7,000 knights.

No in MTW VI the size was also 60 men INF and 40 men cav. The problem is, that the charge of the cav is extrem overpowered. It seems to be, that a) CA hate all old players or b) they haven't tested this error.

the second one, or they just do not understand that charge with a cav is extremely easy. If they need help to test, they have just to ask it.

CA wants the charge to be strong. They recently said the reason is to satisfy the players who want cav charge to be very strong.

Which serious TW Gamer wants such kill rates? And another question. Why they have implemented so many units then. At the moment, you need only cav. The other units are useless.

The other units are useless.

Elephant units as well?

Well, in many games elepfants are forbidden like art. But if somebody used them, they were overpowered too imo. But I will test them against a heavy sword inf and cav.

EDIT: I tested elephants. They are the hell. They fought against 2 v3 heavy swords and killed both units easily: :(

well so they can make the cavs prices very very high or pikes avaliable for more factions in high era, and swords stronger vs pikes. A good solution for a good balance.

It's the unformed charge that's there to satisfy players like you or me or my entire clan. The formed charge is there for players who want overpowered cavalry. Apparently, CA has marketing research that indicates a lot of players want overpowered cavalry. How are you going to fight that? Even if you got 500 or 1000 players to sign a petition requesting that each faction be given infantry units that can stop cavalry frontally, they wouldn't consider it because they no longer accept petitions.
