Cavalry

[Flying_Leo]

In reality, the knights fought on horseback. A knight is a cavalryman, but in the game all battles take place on foot. And equestrian combat is poorly implemented... It is clear that Henry is not a knight by birth, who was taught from childhood to fight on horseback, but for some reason everyone in the game fights on foot... The game seems to have a claim to realism, but the knight's main weapon (a horse) is poorly implemented. A knight without a horse is the same as a modern soldier without an assault rifle, of course he can still fight, but it will be ridiculous. I wonder if this aspect was at least slightly improved in the second part?

Technical limitations. Have you seen the recent trailer?

I thought horses were easy to kill if they werent charging at you in a formation ?

In terms of battles, the first game only depicted a few small scale raids on forest camps situated in terrain unsuitable for cavalry (Pribyslavitz and the Robber Baron quest). The sieges depicted (Talmberg and Vranik) also had little reason to depict cavalry en masse.

Lots of movies like to make le-epic scenes of the heros walking through enemy infantry on horseback and somehow not immediately being pulled into the mud with the horse either pinning them to the ground as it shifts in pain from being cut/stabbed or running off.

So the confusion is, unfortunately, understandable.

The 14th and 15th centuries are the times infantries making a comeback due to better poleweapon and...guns.

EDIT: In Europe!

You would never want to kill a knights horse! like never... the knight would be so much more deadly on ground than on his horse..
If you by accident did kill the horse, then its praying that you have a mace as a weapon.

Aksually, a knight falling off their horse usually means dead knight because they would break their back or head.
This is not to mention stuff like the horse falling on them.
