It’s been several patches since elite army tactics got nerfed. So many changes happened and now can we all agree that infantries and particularly melee infantries are underpowered? 3v3 and 4v4 are heavily dominated by mounted units like knights, lancers, horsearchers and camels. Even in 1v1s players don’t tank with MAAs in the late game as often (spears and horseman are better).
Let’s be honest there’s no good answer for horses in the game except for spamming your own horses. Even janissary received multiple nerfs in the last few patches. On the other hand, there’s too many counters for melee infantries: ranged units in general, springalds, horsearchers, and knights can counter MAAs.
That said, can we finally bring back elite army tactics, or can we buff melee infantries in some other ways? I’m really not a fan of the current state of Age of Horses IV. It’s boring to play 3v3 and 4v4 only with mounted units
