A – I deny that French cav are OP. French hussars and dragoons are the same or even weaker than those of other civs. And our balance tests demonstrate that cuirassiers are in fact slightly weaker, per cost, than hussars.
6) Do you know when French cavalry will get nerfed?
A – this begs the question. Who said French cavalry had to be nerfed? Look, I agree that the French are probably slightly too strong at this point (they have a 54% win factor, which is hardly astronomical). And I agree that cuirassiers seem dominant. But as a unique unit, you can’t separate the cuirassier’s dominance from the French civ as a whole. Perhaps cuirassiers seem so strong because coureurs are resistant to rushing, permitting a French player to get by with fewer resources spent to defend vs. a rush, and this gives them more resources on cuirassiers. If this s the case, then perhaps weakening the coureur is the right answer, instead of the cuirassiers. Or perhaps it’s because French light infantry & artillery are so good – these neutralize enemy heavy infantry & dragoons, which are the natural predators of cuirassiers. So cuirassiers seem strong because their enemies are fewer in number. You see that it’s a complex issue. Nerfing the cav itself may not be the right answer.

16) Are more/better formations going to be added to the game?
A – such as? (I’m not making fun – I’m asking what you’d suggest)
THERE ARNT ANY MR SANDYMAN
18) Defensivly, and this is the main problem for me, we need more! The out-posts, we can only have 7, and they just do not do enough to defend, battles are no longer in battlefields, there in players town areas, better walls could be an options? Walls with holes in them with shooters with guns? To actually defend an attack!
A – Why would we want games to take longer and be slower? That’s what better fortifications would do.
MAYBE FOR a variety of STRATEGY AND GAMING STYLES?
Cuirassier – as has been stated earlier in the thread, the cuirassier is actually weaker for cost than most other cav uints. But of course it is individually quite strong. We think it fits in very nicely, especially when you consider the multiplicity of units that are effective at killing cavalry.
