Hi
I want to play as a horse archer now^^, so speed is very important. My question is:
What armor should I use? It must be light but it should have a decent armor. What do u prefer?

- I have never had a problem with wearing full Plate Armor while shooting from horseback. Just use a speedy Courser, a Heavy Courser is my choice mount. The only troop that can match my speed is a Sword Sister... or a hero using a Courser. ◄► Tephra ◄► 19:55, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- As long as you're mounted I've never observed an appreciable speed difference. if you ever lose the horse, encumberance makes itself felt, you'll feel like a slug which for a shooty type is not so good, since you kinda want to stay out of melee. Of course when you play there's a variety of times you lose your horse, strong armor is vital for keeping damage manageable. Madned 22:51, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
