This thread is for feedback on the Horsemen rebalancing.
I do not like this change. As it stand the land units are surprisingly well balanced, with horsemen already being the most efficient attackers. This will imbalance the units.
If anything is to be changed to horsemen I would suggest cutting the cost/time, as that is the most irritating factor they have atm.
Put Mythical units in the picture and the statistics are reversed!horsemen are already mathematically the best attackers of all of the 'normal' units vs their best 'opposite defender'
horse attack = 18.3 per pop
chariot blunt def = 19 per pop
compared to slingers at 23 vs 30 range def for swords or hops at 16 vs 25 sharp def for archers, horses are really strong attackers considering the blunt defense values of def units.
so i guess i'm of the opinion that they don't need rebalancing, players just need to be made aware that they're already awesome!

1 : 2.46 (blunt)
1 : 2.28 (range)
1 : 2.34 (sharp)

As for the reasons why they were built less frequently... I think I can explain that.
First of all, they have higher requirements so people will only have access to them later. You might think this is true for chariots also but the difference is, chariots are very adept defenders, horsemen are obvious attackers. As, sadly, the majority of players focusses more on defending the chariot is a more viable choice because it's a defender AND an attacker.
If your horse nuke is attacked overnight you wll cry.
If your chariot nuke is attacked you will get decent BP, with a big change on a positive ratio.

No..... don't turn horsemen into hybrid units... not a good idea. HM are meant for attacking, not def.
