Make a elite cataphract force of 50 than charge them to their horse division. Elite cataphracts are superior in all ways. Then, charge the horses on to the pikeman and archers then charge the soldiers and arrows. Dont forget that these has to be mostly legionaries. I hope my tips help. submitted by /u/Visible_Tax7920 [link] [comments]
I’ve been playing the game periodically since release, I’ve noticed some changes with cav:
-
They’re much more common. Every enemy army I fight seems to throw atleast 100 cav at me, and I have to actively try to avoid having an exorbant amount of cavalry myself because-
-
Cavalry seem REALLY weak. Infantry in standard line formation frequently decimate both mine and the enemies cavalry, which is compounded by the fact that the cavalry AI seems to suicide charge straight into enemy lines, get stuck, then carved into pieces. Cavalry is almost a liability now, I find myself dismounting my cav frequently.
In my memory, cavalry used to be a little more rare but also more powerful, I remember having armies of nothing but cavalry and feeling like the riders of Rohan. Now I cringe if my battle spawns and I have a higher proportion of cavalry than other troops.
Is this a recent update? Even my elite tier cav get decimated, it doesn’t even seem worth it to recruit them anymore.
Edit- additional question, does anyone else have problems with cavalry following you? They lag so far behind I can’t even lead them in charge.
