When the game was first released, LI was OP and all colonial melee cav sucked, got shot down by the unitsit suppose to counter, ES recognised this problem after almost a whole year, but then they did the wrong change - instead of weaken LI's damage to MC, they boosted MC's ranged resistance. this made MC not only stronger against LI, but also eveyrthing else, some of them are suppose to counter MC.
But no one complained because MC was still not strong enough to dominate the battle field.
Until TAD 1.01.
Now that LI are doing x0.75 against MC, MC have gained their rightful place in the food chain, but because they still havr the excessive ranged resistance their counters dont work too well against them, such as outpost, some ranged cavalry, and HI in range, and the ever weaker TC.
Lately I played many games where uhlans diving into cassadore armies, equal cost army of dragoons dont kill them fast enough before they do fatal damage to the LI army. or sowar raiding party running inside well protected base, killing many vils before lose enough to retreat. or Sioux cavalry surround army of keshik and chop them into bits.
I think it is time for colonial cavalry to take a step back in their ranged resistance. so they can be fended off properly by outpost and TC, as well as ranged cavalry.
Hussar, Axeraider, Cuirs to 10%, Axeraider +5hp
uhlan, cossack, Nagi, stepp rider, sowar, kanya, change to 20%
I think Cuirs should get that 10% nerf because it never deserved 20% in the first place.
every other cavalry can stay the way they are.
