Hi,
So the new update came out and yet they didn't touch what they had done to Sassanid heavy cavalries and their allies.
Battle speed of 45 for cavalry is plain ridiculous, it's even slower than many light infantries.
Heavier armor reduces speed, some of you might think?
So how is it that same armor size or even heavier doesn't effect cav speed of european units?
And this is all despite the fact that Persians had better horses historically...
Here's a little comparison between cavs with armor heaveir than 56:
Gyan-avspar (shock):
Armor 80, Speed 45.
Pushtigban (shock):
Armor 60, Speed 45.
Al-Dawser (melee):
Armor 58, Speed 45.
Al-Shahba (melee)
Armor 67, Speed 45.
Sarmatian Heavy Cavalry (shock):
Armor 80, Speed 70.
Sacra Francisca (shock):
Armor 57, Speed 70.
Royal Suebi Cavalry (shock):
Armor 57, Speed 70.
Step Xyon archers (horse archer):
Armor 75, Speed 90.
Armoured Camel Warriors (melee):
Armor 60, Speed 65.
This gets even more interesting when you know cavs with armor of 55 can have speed of over 100:
Wada'I (shock):
Armor 55 Speed 105 with Rapid Advance.
Alani Chosen Raiders (skirmisher):
Armor 55, Speed 100.
Anybody has any logical explanation why some cav speed must be as slow as infantry in this game and why that rule must apply not to all, but only some cavs?
P.S: If CA wants to disable certain factions by nerfing them like this, please just go ahead and unmount their cavalries but don't pull like this?
