I think there is lack of maps for cavalry charge. It would be cool if there were maps like the old Hot Gates. 

 

Something like this.

What about Beach Defence? Pretty much the same as what you described minus all the trees.

I'm playing as horsemen lately, and I see that there are enough maps to play this (maybe not as you said above but ok for fun), btw will be taken in consideration for new maps incoming if there are...

 

These are maps actually (28 maps, from all 45 maps included in rotation) good for cavalry. List is ordered in time since server start, and maps are running consecutively following this list, one after all.

Some are good, some just to play, some are better, but definitively... enough

...and in some other not included here maybe possible too.

 

When Server starts, rotation of maps start from this (always same):

•    first map --> Howlstone

    then next...

•     Khirin Castle
•     Motte n Bailey
•     Dragons Nest
•     Hot Gates  <--- and have you seen this?
•     Nomad Camp
•     Helm's Deep
•     Motten n Bailey 2
•     Praven
•     Rudkhan Castle
•     Foothold
•     Coast Castle
•     The Rock
•     Roasted Pig
•     Minas Tirith
•     Reclamation
•     Hill Village
•     Beach Defence
•     Hadrian's Wall
•     Brunwud Castle
•     Winter is Coming
•     Broch
•     Tonbridge Castle
•     Farmer's Garden
•     Winter Castle
•     Mahdaar Castle
•     Boundary Barrier
•     Hailes Castle

...and then after last map Precipice, rotation starts again from first map

 

Here you have --> full rotation list maps

Now take your horse and go to defend your infantry attack out from enemy cavalry

Enjoy!!!

I love spawning in the middle of nowhere and get a spear from cav through my torso for instant death.

nothing more satisfying than waiting another 30 seconds i love it personally

Beach Defence is cool, closest one to my map design for cav. I love that map

 

Hot Gates, i think this one is updated or im just confuse it with an another map which was quite similar to Battle of Thermopylae from the history and 300 Spartans movie.

 

Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith are okayish, though you eventually have to dismount to advance further. It's fun to harass attackers spawn in these though, especially on Helm's Deep

 

IMO rest of the maps are so limiting for a proper cav gameplay. There are always something to stop your momentum. Either there are too many structures on the way or just the pathway is so narrow, limiting your maneuverability. Also the elevation difference on land is quite frustuating, like in the Halies Castle, or that native map where you push a siege tower to a big hole on wall, forgot its name.

 

 

Also if you have ever played on MiniSiege server on Napoleonic dlc, there is a map quite similar to my masterpiece drawing in op. Dunno its name, but it's where i got the idea.

I have played such map once, but then there was only a mid hill with the flag and 1 barricade infront of flag, this was fun to play as it was a slaughter. Cav getting dismounted by spears and arrows, infantry getting couched from everywhere, archers jumping and running to dodge. But this will only be fun a few times, not on regular basis and not with low amount of players. And what you suppose makes archers OP as cav cant couch them between the spikes
