So I generally play as a horse archer in M&B titles. I had done a few Kusait runs with an army of horse archers and was kinda board of it so I tried today to play as something else. My first though was to try a x-bow non-mounted guy. However, I feel like the start as anything but a horse archer is practically impossible.
I play on all realistic difficulty damage.
The game does not allow you to reload as an x-bow player. This pretty much dis-allows the typical kite strategy I use against looters early in the game. The other option is to go with thrown weapons. Thrown weapons expose you more so to the rocks the looters have and have a max ammo count of 8 (javelins, 2 stacks). I found that thrown weapons are a 2 shot kill to looters so if I hit all shots I would only be able to kill 4 looters, probably 3. This seems way worse than a bow: 30 shots 3 shot kill, 10 potential kills.
Basically it seems that the game really wants you to play as a horse archer. Am I missing something?
