Norse Jarls shouldn't be spammable vs Spearmen

Just played a game where my opponent got to spam Jarls into Yari Spearmen as Amataresu. Instead of his Jarls dropping like flies he got to melt my Spearmen despite us having equal tech parity and upgrades.

How is this fair again?

Do the devs realize that their should be a MOBILITY TAX? IE fast cav units should get massacred like flies vs spearmen, give them a 200% bonus damage penalty vs spearws in addition to the spearmens base multipliers. Never seen such a badly balanced game that claims to be about a β€œcounter” system and yet my opponent gets to rob me of a win when I scouted him throughout the match and built the perfect counter and he gets to beat me anyways, spamming 20 Jarls into 40 spearmen and coming out on top.

WTF?

For god’s sake fix your game, cav should have less then 40% of infantry dps as a mobility tax and they should get melted in 2 hits to spearmen, my smooth brained opponent shouldn’t be rewarded for spamming cav into a counter unit.

Spearmen aren’t a multipurpose unit. They are designed to do 1 thing. 1 Spearmen should be fully capable of killing 2-3 cav units, absolutely ridicolous that cav have no mobility tax and get to be spammable and cost effective into a unit who’s sole existence is designed to counter them , they have nothing else, no moiblity , no pierce armor, can’t raid, NOTHING. Why are spearmen multipliers so LOW! They need to be TWICE what they are. You should absolutely be punished for not microing your cav and getting them within range of spears.

Post the game, thats def not the case unless more military value in jarls than spearmen. Would be very interesting to analyze if that was the case.

That doesnt happen in any of the counter dynamics. And archer doesnt solo 3 infantry units either

Thats not a thing in most rts that exist.

Just testing it makes it obvious that it’s not possible. A yari can even solo a jarl with same upgrades, it’s easy to verify, and for a cost vastly inferior (jarl is 80 gold yari is 25 gold).

What minor gods did you both pick. Also Jarls cost a lot more than spearmen
