Look, even though kiting was a major part of the game, the point is that it wasn't supposed to be.
Nord Invasion is supposed to be based off of teamwork; the kiting, however, was changed, because it's not supposed to be part of the game. Think of it as a bug fix.
Love it or hate it, the developers did the right thing; they improved the maps, making teamwork needed, and that's what NI was supposed to be this whole time.
Stop complaining. The devs pointed the game more towards what they wanted it to be and what it was supposed to be. Stop acting like it's a huge loss.
E.g: if you want to kite, go play native.

why did we change it now then, not 2  yers ago?  as you can read in my post earlier, hyper agreed on archers kiting. Why have we done this change now? it was working perfectly fine until now, so whats the reasons for it? more ppl complaining that the skilled guys can kite?

They didn't change it two years ago because:
A| It's hard to mapmake.
B| To remove kiting, that means they have to overhaul maps and drops and maybe weapons, which is also hard.
C| They have a ton on their plate to begin with and this is just one of the things that they wanted to change; changes like removing horses came before this.
Also, horses. Horses were the kiting KINGS; they didn't need any form of team, they had heavy armor, they had lances, they had heavily armored horses, etc.
This is why they removed them. They wanted the game to focus on teamplay and teamwork. Now, they also removed two maps, one being a sandy beach and one being a flat plain of grass with a couple trees, hills, and such - these two were perfect for kiting, so they removed them. Now, archers are the kiting kings, behind cavalry, and they are still working towards fixing it. See?

I see alot of players say yea great remove kiting as this is a team based mod, maybe players like you dont put 30hrs+  a week into this mod? If you did you would realize that playing in a team is NOT ALWAYS a option, but sitting around for 30mins or so waiting for a good kiting map is, or was xD
