horse archery should be the meta

it just makes sense

yea. untill full plate comes around,
at wich point we then transition to heavy shock cavalry, and masses of alts with polearms.

This would require removing Raw Hide which is essential for pvp. No one would walk for pvp and the entire mechanism of stamina would be relegated to pony power which varies a whole lot more than stamina (water q). This just introduces a million problems but it sounds cool.

Maybe late game war horses could be trained that are immune to Raw Hide. Sounds like a balancing nightmare though. Pun intended.

i agree!

if horses were really hard to control to the point of being unusable in forests and had a momentum system we could have lancing

we could remove rawhide by making horses really hard to control to the point of being unusable in forests. as in they conserve momentum and don't turn on a dime.

To balance it, horses should move a lot slower in forests. Irl they can't dash around forests like they can in the game. Heavier armor should slow horses too. Making using horses in PVP more of a situational asset rather than a meta.

Bows in this game just kind of suck all around, it would take a lot of changes to make them useful in pvp

Let’s add a Chariot that nullifies the effect of Raw Hide

I think mounted combat would be much more unbalanced compared to the current light infantry battles, but it would definitely look interesting visually. Steam users are sure to love it (even though it wouldn't actually allow mounted combat).

I actually think this idea could work and be balanced just with some stipulations. Make it so someone needs to be driving and someone needs to be the archer so it is a 2 person endeavor and then also make it so the person driving cannot attack.

Genuinely with those stipulations i think it could bring mechanically interesting PVP for Marksmen users.
