Should cavalry have a disadvantage in marshes and forests?
Rips bong. I’ve been thinking about this a lot and it’s just annoying that in this game cavalry is always King at the end of the day. I know that there are other balances early game vs late, but it just doesn’t feel good. Especially in late games and team games. In 4v4 you have to be a clown to go infantry at all. In real life, cavalry wasn’t always an advantage like if you’re fighting in a forest, running those horses around and trying to dodge trees while also fighting sounds like an absolute nightmare. Same thing with marshes, their feet get stuck in the mud and they’re less effective.
I would love to see knights lose their charge ability or maybe speed reduction in general in marshes and forests. I think it would make for some sick battles where you build up siege and infantry in a forest, creep up to the enemy, the knights don’t wanna rush in so they wait for you to come out and you battle it out. I think it would add a much needed dynamic and would be true to real life like The Battle of Agincourt (1415).
Breathed out a cloud of smoke.
