Cavalry should not have or be an "excellent counter to pikes" though. That's the whole point, you should not be able to rely exclusively on one unit type. How would you defeat a cavalry army that's as large as any infantry army you can build and can beat your pikemen?
Cavalry has basically every advantage over pikemen. They're faster, so they can always choose their battles. They're stronger against both swordsmen and archers, and they are better for harassment. By contrast, pikemen are weak against everything except cavalry - once you have cavalry that counters pikemen, pikemen become useless and cavalry invincible.
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.Pikes are the normal counter of Cavalry. Cavalry is the normal counter of Swordsman and Archers. At the moment the strenght is perfect.
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. :PHow should Mordor counter it?

How should the Goblins counter it?

Skeever, do you realize those two factions have trolls, and those will still counter the Eastfold rohirrim no matter what?That's a good point, and that would add some incentive to make trolls, which right now are extremely weak and you never see any good player make them.
Rohan wouldn't need to make these units against Mordor or Goblins, because both of these factions pikes are so weak that you can kill them with normal Rohirrim.Mordor has Cirith Ungol.

Mordor has Cirith Ungol.
Goblins has Gundabad Speers.
Trolls are to slow to attack them.
