Change in the Battle Rules, after the poll.

Max 6 cav (melee and shock)


Soon new patch will come so there might be some slight changes to the rules, depending on the change of balance.

There are again slight changes to the battle rules:
Max 5 skirmishers
Max 2 Horse Slayers/Horse Hewers
No limit on Tagmata

Sorry for so late changes but we needed more testing.

I assure that these are the final changes till the next patch.
