When did Creative Assembly become a symbol of evil?

[Moah]

The worst for me appears to be that the battlefield gameplay isn't intuitive anymore due to the animations taking over from unit stats and that cavalry has almost no counter and can take on anything in frontal charges. One can match up units but the result of the melee seems to be decided by forces that are incomprehensible to the player.

But CA does listen to you!

They've specifically changed the stats for cav in Kingdoms. Cav is slaughtered by a frontal charge to spears or pikes.

But before you complain it's too weak they're still unmatchable as hammers, with HI anvils. Flank and rear, manouvering and tactics - they work.

Simply charging without thought = dead general.

I can now calmly have my cav flank the enemy an dleave none with my main army by just making sure I have some spears ready to charge to teh defence of my archers.

CA has rebalanced the entire nature of battles the way people asked - how is this saying "we hate you suckers and steal your money". I just don't get it at all....

I dunno man, everytime I send a frontal cavalry charge I usually end up with quite a bit of dead horses....Unless your playing SS mod in which cavalry has no counter at all...

Not to mention they added a well-known TW modder onto the team.

For your information i gave already kudos sometime ago to the re-balancing team (Palamedes, lusted & Celtiberos clan) that worked in Kingdoms, which solves quite a few of the problems in the SP game:

I don't take CA's word before i play; many promises were made over the years and they were either partially implemented or were simply forgotten altogether.

I am as happy to get good gameplay as anybody and rarely deny credits for when they are due.
