I like the cav sword range reduction, even when you dodged an incoming cav man you still got killed from time to time.
Also the HP reduction on horses, now riflemen can consider shooting at the heavy horses instead of the rider.
They took 2 to 3 shots otherwise resulting in very few dead horses and a lot of dead skirms.
I know cav is supposed to be good vs skirms and it should be that way.
But please don't nerf rifle damage again because even now if skirms manage to dehorse charging cav they would just say "lol" and charge and kill a few guys before dying.
The nerfing of rifle melee capabilities to a "defensive tool" only will most likely just result in defensive static skirms. Moving up from hill to hill to get better shots will get a lot more risky and less worth the hassle. I can hear the "omg fucking hillcampers" already.
Also less charging the arty then I guess
Just my 2 cents
