Make Rohirrim of the Eastfold a Useful Unit

<< < (3/5) > >>

Skeeverboy:

--- Zitat ---The issue is that using Cavalry as Rohan is actually pointless in the current build, because pikes can defeat them so easily. The whole idea of Rohan, like everybody says, is to be a cavalry faction, yet building cavalry as Rohan will almost always lose you the game, theres something seriously wrong with that.
--- Ende Zitat ---
Pikes are the normal counter of Cavalry. Cavalry is the normal counter of Swordsman and Archers. At the moment the strenght is perfect.

I think the problem isn't the Cavalry. The problem are the Farmers. They are TO strong for their spam. And because every Unitmakebuilding(?) is a ressourcesbuilding, Rohan has enaugh Ressources to make a no-Cavalryarmy. For example when the Ressources from the farms are half(?) so People will buy more Cavalry.

Elite KryPtik:
I agree with you, but if the spam is weakened than Rohan will become completely useless. Cavalry right now cannot accomplish anything late game, because of pikes, and this is why everybody who is good and plays with Rohan just spams Peasants. That is the argument I'm making here, since Rohan is supposed to be a cavalry faction, wouldn't it be cool to have a cavalry unit that is specifically trained to counter pikemen?

Realistically, since they are stated to have almost always fought on horseback, they would have to have some kind of specially trained light riders who could deal with front lines of pikemen in order to have the bulk of their army accomplish anything. These anti-pike cavalry would lose to both archers and swordsmen like I just said, because they wouldn't have as much health or armor as normal Rohirrim, but their damage and armor against pikes specifically would be increased, to allow them to counter pikes. So all this would do would make your opponent need to use some strategy to counter you, because he would have to protect his pikes with swordsmen and archers, he couldn't just literally spam pikes and win against your cavalry army.

Sir_Stig:
I think Krptik has a good idea, it's at least worth a try as basically he is asking to turn the Westfold riders into essentially only anti-pike unites, while lowering power against melee and ranged. Would it be possible to give them a timed ability that would give this function in order to make them a bit more strategic? Or like a spear throw ability that lowers pike crush revenge or something? I feel like they could be more specialized than they currently are, and I think Kryptik's idea is a good start.

I voted yes. But I have an idea on to not make this op. Make the rohirrim of the eastfold countered by other cavalry, this way they are not un-counter-able. :P

How should Mordor counter it?
How should the Goblins counter it?
