I know a lot of players don't stick to a monotone cultural getup when they play, but a lot of players probably do what I do; try to stick to culturally appropriate armours and weapons for the culture I am playing. I take this mentality with me to smithing as well, where I try to smith and use weapons that suit my characters culture appropriately. But I have some exceptions; I often use animal pelts for shoulder armour when playing as a Vlandian or Imperial. If I play as a Sturgian I may use some Khuzait armour. And if I play as a mercenary or Lord for a different cultural faction than my character is from, I may use a mix of regional armours and use my own culture for a weapon. Example; I played a Nord corsair mercenary for the Empire. I used gilded scale Imperial armour with gilded scale shoulderguards, golden pirate gauntlets and boots, and a brass Aserai helmet with a Nord one handed sword with gilded pummel and handguard. Anyone else give themselves similar cultural restrict...
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.
