They have a decent cav defence - far better than swords, but far worse than spears. If we assume that most nukes will pretty similar to those used in TW1 (not necessarily going to be the case), then the 4:3:3 ratio is inappropriate, because archers are only best against other archers. Heavy cav might be more usable if they had more fighting power or cost less population?įirstly, we are assuming that the optimum SP/SW/ARCH ratio is 4:3:3. Maybe that is something that the developers could look at? The current situation will make defensive forces rather one dimensional.
Even more so when you consider that all the units are generated from the same building. Given that the tactician means that your superior spear and swords force moves faster than the spear-heavy cav, then heavy cav is rather obsolete. However, as I said, a single army of heavy cav and spears had less fighting power than the spears and swords (and archers on archer worlds) - the advantage was speed. Given also that heavy cav and spears came from 2 different buildings, the rebuild was also faster. This spread the loss over more villages and overall gave you more flexibility on the defence - you could redeploy your defence faster once it was no longer needed.
It had less fighting power, but the advantage was that with it being faster, you could get more defensive armies to a village under attack. Back in TW1 the heavy cav and spear defensive combo was an alternative to the standard spear and sword combo.
