Golden Era Discussion

You must have had more luck with your Wind Riders than I did. They get chopped up very easily by archers/spells.

Though of course maybe you have to build 10+ in order for them to not have a terrible attrition (making an initial charge rout the enemy)

I agree that the movement factor of the Wind Rider is a significant detail; but they are fragile if you are going up against a human opponent. You almost have to take a 9 Fire/9 Air Blessing to counteract it. As Spring Hawks eat them for dinner as well as any missile fire.

Edit: Also it's very easy to make them waste their lances on Harpies or Black Hawks. And target them with missilefire because they are fliers.
