Cav balance

The big issue, as I see it, is that in M2TW charges are an end all. They are so ridiculously effective that pikes are your only concern. You can literally kill 70 men out of an 80 man unit with a single charge (not terribly common but very possible). This concerns me simply because they have comparatively low charge values (by EB standards) of between 6 and 9.

You should note while EB had about 0.4 lethality lance at the best, the M2TW cavalry lance are stick to 1 lethality.

I know that, as I have checked the statistics. However somebody mentioned that lethality values were not modable in M2TW.

maybe we'll got multiple HP system in EB II to compensate that, and get longer fight

But that would make arrows strange? I recall the LotR Mod for Rome were sauron was nigh impossible to beat in melee, but could be killed by like 2 or 3 arrow volleys...

Sorry OT: Elven archers had insane damage that's it! Try the result with normal Gondorian or worse, orcs...

Cataphracts were later used by both the Eastern Roman Empire (Basileia ton Romaion) and the Sassanids as meat grinder thus i believe they were very fierce as melee units.
