French horse easy to counter.
1. They're expensive
2. They're very easy to counter
3. UNITS THAT COUNTER Cuirassiers
- Dopples
- Dragoons
- Halberds
- Macemen
- Ryuters
- War Wagons
- Howdahs
Some of those unit absolutely destroy french horse, people just have to learn to counter and positioning.

It makes me excited to vs French because of their predictable french horse spam that's very expensive for them.

Then you have teams like Spain with their monks that can buff their military exponentially i.e halberds, muskets, etc.

If you're playing against French in Rush, even better for you... Their villagers are more expensive and just village harrass/suppress early.

nothing is expensive in late game, and their late game eco is op as well, and the counter you mention move slower than cav, and if they are clever enough they will also make skirmisher which melt ur melee in second. And sometimes people dont want to rush becoz it is too boring.

as a china player, nothing i can do aginist french, they can destroy my age 5 army with age 4 op cav

problem is that french economy + cuirassiers means you will be unstoppable late game against any civ. they are still not nerfed enough and we all know it

I do not know if a nerf is always necessary.

A limitation of the amount of cuirassiers that can be produced in one nation at the same time would be enough. Just as it is with the warships. 10-15 cuirassiers on the map at the same time and everything would be more relaxed, I guess.

sometimes a weakness or advantage a civ has is the time in which they are forced or able to fight

Cuirs are fine as they are, they are slower than normal cav - in teams cavalry is generally only used in niche situations, in 1v1 they are slow to create and only really a thread with certain civs
This thread is very old and last comment made was more than 4 years ago. Some people would consider that to be necromancy and some threads are locked as a result of people commenting on old threads.
