I know the debates here recent have been pretty heated about the horse meta that surrounds pvp. With that in mind I want to clear the air by saying I am against broad nerfs to anything and prefer fine tuning so that both sides of the table (pve/pvp) are both happy. With that out of the way my suggestion for a counter to horses:
Pikes. Much longer than a spear with a reinforced head and a butt spike made to be seated into the ground. They were used as a good counter to real world cavalry and a good row of like men could hold off a cavalry charge. In my opinion this could be a decent solution to horses.
I’ll keep it short and sweet because that’s all I got. If y’all have anything else to add please throw it in here. Civilly if you can, I know the community supports are probably starting to hate the word horse for all the ill it brings
I will go further and say the ability to make Pit/Tank traps as I have recomended before. Also Pitchforks/Tridents and throwable nets and bolo’s. There are so many things people forgot historically counted cavalry.
I agree, I didn’t even think of meta and the like. Spot on my friend. Caltrops would be a good one too, I don’t know how entrenched traps would work giving the games design but it is still a bang on idea.
these types of things were proposed long time ago, but no one listen to that.
to facilitate things guys proposed a stance with (spear+shield) reducing mvt but increasing armor or blocking… etc…
Of course it is easier to nerf or supress horses
I agree… dont suugest too much things… In the end we will have the nerf AND the counters…
Today, it is possible to take palisades in the inventory. the only thing is to add more freedom to put them on the ground (allow more angles, avoid landclaims etc). make them decay afer 20mn if away from the owning clan ppl or buidings.
