That's very good to know Melkor Bauglir. Learn something new everyday
Well what I was going for was that Spear Throwers would be able to do good damage to very Heavily Armoured units, and their ability would lower the Armour of the enemies hit as well as knock them back, making Peasants deal at least decent damage against Heavily Armoured units, for a limited time.
I'm still a bit confused on how Armour exactly works, but hopefully you understand my intentions.
Now the difference I was going for between Spear Throwers and Horse Archers is that they both Pierce Armour, but Spear Throwers, as Peasant support, will be stronger at killing ShieldBearers and swordsmen, while Horse Archers would be stronger against pikes. I don't know if it is possible to be that specific, but if it is then those are the roles they should fill.
I tested out spear throwers yesterday, and my opinion on them has not changed much. The only thing that concerns me is how little health they have. Even the Wildmen Lair can deal a lot of damage to them, maybe kill them if they are not careful. I still thing they need to be more effective in melee combat.
Also, this is optional, but their ability doesn't seem to knockback wargs from a Warg Lair, so adding that would be nice too, but that's not much of a problem to be honest
My last suggestion (for now, I'll be back
) would be to give the Rohan Wall Banner to increase the range of archers by a small amount, giving Rohan some sort of defense against catapults with their upgraded archers. I don't really ever see anyone buy Wall Banners, so making them slightly better would be nice.
