I couldn’t bear the situation of front row fights and back row watching, so I decided to do it myself.
It enhances the penetration of cavalry, allowing your knights to easily slaughter infantry without tight lines (especially missile units)

1. In reality, when most cavalry charge towards the target, they will rush towards the target in a rush rather than forming a neat formation. In the game, I restored this state, and the cavalry will charge towards the enemy in a chaos
2. Meanwhile, the current charge between melee cavalry will be like reality, piercing each other with spears and passing by each other.Cavalry collisions will determine the winner in a very short period of time
3. I have reclassified all the vanilla 1212 cavalry units, divided their level of discipline based on their historical performance, and made precise adjustments based on their true historicity to make you more immersed.

   There are two main Classification system:
   Training Level System: the higher the training Level of the cavalry formation, the more they can form a dense formation, and the advantage can be obtained in the cavalry collision.

   ---

   Functional classification system: Depending on the function of the cavalry, They are divided into different levels, by adjusting the data and giving special abilities to highlight their special use,They all have their own groups and different UIs.
   
   1.The Scout Cavalry play the role of an assassinis they mainly used against infantry and has absolute lethality against units below the heavy infantry, but they are very vulnerable and suitable for harassing or eliminating some missile units.

   2.The Melee Cavalry play the role of a warrior, They are skilled in melee, some against infantry, some against cavalry, and the Resistance Mode will be very useful in melee.

   3.The Shock Cavalry play the role of a striker, which can break the enemy’s formation and play a decisive role by turning on the impact mode and using the full sprint ability, they are good at taking down any enemy from the front (except elephants)

   And I have marked them on onscreen

   Now they are each useful, you may consider recruiting them instead of blindly choosing heavy cavalry.

   It is important that AI also proficiently uses these skills, as they are all adapted from vanilla games, some of which are abandoned by 1212

   Some design ideas on the charge to share, the heavy cavalry charge design idea is to give the heavy cavalry a long charge, so that he can achieve good charging effect under the right conditions.
   For example, the charge is interrupted, or the charge distance is too short, the space is too narrow, or the arrow slows the charge so that the desired effect cannot be achieved

4. Rebalance the mass of all units to achieve a more balanced collision effect
   Calculation formula for collision damage:

   impact force formula:
   Impact force of unit 2 on unit 1=(Velocity1 + Velocity2) × (Quality 2 ÷ Quality 1)

   The impact damage of Unit 2 to Unit 1 = The above impact force ^ 0.8×0.6, and the AP of the impact damage is 70%

5. Charge bonus and mass binding mechanism

   Since the charge bonus of Vanilla 1212 is not very effective, only 10 seconds, I made a new mass binding mechanism, now the mass of cavalry will be positively correlated with the charge bonus,1 charge bonus =1 mass bonus. The higher the charge bonus, the higher the mass, and the higher the impact damage. Normal cavalry has a base mass of 40 and Lancers have a base mass of 90.

   The mass of the cavalry is made up of horses and riders, the mass of the horses is the same, but the mass of the riders is based on the charge plus component in order to make 40 levels

   Weight label corresponding mass table:
   Very light: 0~300
   Light: 300~590
   Medium: 595~705
   heavy: 710~975
   Very heavy: 990~1060
   Super heavy: 1160~∞

6. 1212 Vanilla Cavalry overhaul
   • Missile Cavalry:High accuracy bow riding will be equipped with concentration skills, low accuracy will be equipped with raiding
   • Shock cavalry: Charge with lance and fight hand-to-hand with secondary weapons. They have high collision damage, but their melee ability is mediocre
   • Hybrid cavalry: has the characteristics of both shock cavalry and bow cavalry.
   • Melee Cavalry: Charge and melee use the same weapon, such as contradiction, sword shield, axe shield. They’re better at hand-to-hand dogfighting. Depending on the weapon used, they have various advantages

   Weapons: New cavalry sword (for infantry), cavalry machete (for Eastern faction), cavalry axe (for armor), and cavalry spear (for cavalry), all of which belong to cavalry other than Lancers, who will each have their own appropriate weapon.
