That's just too costly for it to be used unless the stats would be buffed.Endru1241 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 06, 2020 10:54 am @DreJaDe
The fact that japan saw light cavalry usage is without question.
Especially early mounted samurai archers, represented as yabusame.
However heavy cavalry is up to discussion.
There were even theories, that japanese didn't have heavy cavalry at all, but concluded to be fake by recent research.
So it seems heavy cavalry were rare and more commonly used only by few clans. Possibly only after mongol invasion.
But they did exist.
So I'd just represent it in the game as pricier unit with not that many advantages ( cost 5 would fit as it's the same as yabusame).
My main point is - I don't really know their cavalry well enough to make a decision if they should be classified as heavy in game or left with weaker stats, but medium category.

Well, if by modern you mean ww2 up to 60' time then yes.
This day tanks are mostly main battle tanks (universal tanks), that cannot fit in any category, having advantages of all three.
Well, they did have heavy cav I think but I want a more usable one.
In suggesting this, I want to consider if players would even use this unit or not and 5 turn simply doesn't cut it for me. Just like how yabusame is heavily unusable.
