Comment on Horse archers ruin every game they are in.

The horse archers in civ 6 are so pathetically lame that the only reason to build even one is to get 3 points toward a golden age. The computer builds swarms of them, of course, but anything can kill them, even a recon unit.

I guess they wanted a change after Keshiks and Camel Archers being completely busted in Civ V.

I am mostly talking about bannerlord and total war.

  In Rome Total War they are really nicely balanced imho.

    Less about balance and more about them being fun to play against

    Would balancing not make them fun to play against?

  Wasn’t it so that you could wreck them with foot archers? Even if they can’t fire further (don’t remember if that was the case) having foot archer vs horse archer shootout was always really costly exchange for the horsey bois.

You can have a giant swarm of them though, it’s fun
