cavalry????

Post by FrancoisPhilidor »

Hi,

anybody have an idea what cavalry is good for?
It's a bit weaker than infantry. It's not faster. It doesn't have flexible pathing. It's moreexpensive. What can it actually do? Or is it simply something they didn't balance well and forgot about?

Cavalry units have the same exact LOS allowance as infantry in general (4 points).

In this game the cavalry seems to have been neglected with a defective animation unlike PanzerCorps 2 where it seems more useful

Looks like it. I wish the devs rebalanced some things in this game instead of doing their science fiction rts haha

They're useless. I don't mind using them. Armor cars (scout) and light tanks (with separated moves) are just straight better.

Thanks for the confirmation. So I don't have to feel sorry for not using them. Just a badly balanced unit haha
