Right now making horsemen in feudal is really expensive and they are so fragile for their cost in feudal age compared to other units. Whoever forced to make horsemen to counter enemy ranged units is at a disadvantage because of this. And raiding with them is a joke with their tickle damage while getting rained by the enemy tc. I don’t see any lower league players even attempting to mass horsemen because of their fragile nature
How to buff:
Give range units including defensive buildings ranged attack speed debuff of about 20%
Meaning if an archer fires at a horsemen they will take more time than regular to aim and shoot at the horsemen. It makes sense because horsemen are faster moving units -should be difficult to aim at. Horsemen should not be allowed to be one shot by mass ranged units easily. This way there will be actual usage of horsemen in pre imp.
Otherwise we will only see players like Bee trying to mass horsemen and lose games. Right now I see only viable usage of horsemen in feudal is BIZ horsemen with triump healing.
