Haven't seen a full change list yet, but the only major generic thing I can see is that LI have more of a bonus against LC, I don't see how that is making the counters change "full circle". :S

The 1.5x LI bonus vs light cav is much higher than the +10% Hussar HP. Is Hussar the only light cav? Seems kinda unbalanced to make LI (ranged) better then wimpy and expensive hand cav.

ok, i'm curious. How do light cavalry in general defeat heavy cavalry? Are you just talking about dragoons/cav. archers when you say light cavalry?

ok, i think hussar is technically heavy cav, even though the description in the manual says it's "light cavalry"

Yes, Skirmishers and archers get the bonus against Dragoons, War Wagons (Ranged Cav), not Hussars, Ruyters (Light Cav) or Lancers, Cuirs (Heavy Cav).

Ah, Hussars will be the counter then. I assumed they were light cavalry since in the proto they are classified as "light cavalry". Not so bad now, it will be cool to see more Hussars on the field.

Hussars were classified as LC till 1.06, I think. Now they are hand cavalry and heavy cavalry.
