CS jav cav was op in A25. But now they are not as OP because of the acceleration mechanic and the buffed spear cav hard countering them.    And speed is exactly why we make cavalry in the first place   This is a good idea in my opinion

@BeTe, I put it, please remove the quoted spoiler part.

Spoiler?! :p

"QUICK! Nerf the champion spear cavalry!" Meanwhile, CS javelin cavalry: Exists The main reason ALL cavalry is OP is speed. They're simply too fast when compared to spear infantry (which should be their counter). Either increase hoplite armor, or decrease the cavalry speed.

Don't forget this is real-time strategy, not turn-based strategy game.  

Soved!

That said, Olympic Champion could be an appropriate tier 3 rank name for Spartans if such was ever introduced.
