The reason romans put heavy cavalry in their auxiliary army (instead of joining the "legions"), and the reason although it was clearly overpowered in many senses, many countries didn't relied on it, wasn't the cost or rarity, it was that the heavily armoured horses would overheat, the heavy cavalry was useful for charging and causing massive damage, but they sucked at long term engagements, and if flanked by skirmishers they were in trouble. I was reading about roman heavy cavalry, that were basically tanks, the rider had literally zero exposed areas except eyes, and horse was armoured too, sometimes even the eyes of the horse were mostly armoured.Īnd found out that one fundamental game mechanic missing from MB that creates the imbalance: fatigue. Vanilla MB has Swadia often dominating the entire map too for example. Mount e Blade is famous for heavy cavalry being OP, with many mods "fixing" it by limiting the amount of heavy cavalry (for example many mods use "realistic" recruiting where only nobility is cavalry), or by enhancing other troops.
