Forgot to mention in second form that they don't have in dismounted form penalty on snow tiles.
Otherwise looks good.

[Belfry777]

well snow dose slow horses so the need a snow penalty on snow for both forms.

[makazuwr32]

They ARE slower already in dismounted form than in mounted.

[Belfry777]

Yes but not in the horse-form, it needs to be changed.

[makazuwr32]

What needs to be changed?
They need to be faster than infantry in mounted form or otherwise there is no need in them.

[Belfry777]

In snow they need to be 1- slower then they would be on a normal tile.

[makazuwr32]

Only in mounted form.

[Belfry777]

these ones.

[Belfry777]

Hp needs to be lower for grounded calvery riders.

[makazuwr32]

They have same hp as normal infantry (russian). No need to lower hp.

[Belfry777]

Sorry I have not been able to get on aoww since a bug report. These stats look good to me however we need a balance for this unit, I suggest the WW1 American horse riders. Or Roosevelt's "Rough Riders" of the Spanish american war.

[makazuwr32]

They are balanced:
1. Lower speed on snow maps.
2. No abilities to deal good damage to tanks and such
3. Can't build anything (while regular infantry can and russian ones can build for example pontoon bridges with 2 hp and good armors (so it takes 2 shots to destroy it but medium and heavy tanks still insta kill it) for 1 turn for example)
4. Higher cost - 3 turns.
5. Need to dismount before capturing tc.

That is in comparing with regular 2 turn soviet rifle infantry.

[Belfry777]

It's balanced, but I think the other nations need something of this sort but that is just my opinion. Someone may start making JSON for this unit.

[makazuwr32]

Others didn't have cavalry but for example germans must have better vehicles with lower cost that soviets.

[Belfry777]

Well in WWI Calvary was used pretty much by all nation's just not WW2.

[makazuwr32]

In WW1 yes. But our game about WW2.

[samuelch]

Users of cavalry for combat in WW2:
Germany, Soviet Union, Italy, Poland, France, United States (only in Africa 1 division), Hungary, Greece, some others that I don't need to list.
Soviet Union is the number 1 user of cavalry.

Okay this topic has ended.


END JUSTICE!!
