Firstly I am not a fan of the new capture point/respawn game style, lets just get that off the bat - well not as things stand, Okay I am sure I'm not the only one who thinks barb cav are overpowered, they are the fastest unit in the game, kill all other cav(if played correctly), dominate most units aside from heavy infantry in melee, they charge into pikes and take next to no damage where they can just ride around and flank also they are so fast they can suicide into the battle/die then re-spawn and get back to fighting before the fight is over. Also they can kill elephants, like really what counters them well aside from other barb cav?

Thoughts on how to fix:

Nerf them fairly hard, speed or defense (i view them as a fast unit which is great for rear charges and archer killing low health unit, they should probably be more fragile in melee as they have no armour) Make respawning and healing slower for cav units. Maybe a longer re-spawn delay each time you get wipped out. Make counter units such as hoplies/pikes do extra damage when braced and attacked frontally. Also pikes are way too under-powered in current state, they need to remove the fatigue from pikes as they are so fragile to archers and flank attacks, that way they could actually do what they are meant to do kill everything infront of them.

Thoughts guys ?
