What were the most broken classes in history, and how were they nerfed?

DAE video games????

Mongol horsemen.

Nerfed by typhoons.

>Chosen Companions (Hetairoi)
>Roman shield tactics

video games are for faggots

bourgeoisie

communist revolution

Carthaginian Elephants ---> Nerfed by Roman Legionnaires breaking into columns (Scipio's tactics at Zama)

Scythe Chariots ---> Nerfed by Hoplites

Byzantine Cataphracts ---> Nerfed by Turkish Horse Archers

Horse Archers ---> Nerfed by Gunpowder

Muskets ---> Nerfed by Remington Rifles and the Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Cavalry ---> Nerfed by Tanks

Trench Warfare ---> Nerfed by Blitzkrieg

Blitzkrieg ---> Nerfed by Human Wave Tactics

Battleships ---> Nerfed by Aircraft Carriers

horse archers were never nerfed per se, the new gun meta just made them completely obsolete

Realistically, even if the thread goes on for another three hundred posts, nobody will have a better answer than this.

Jews

They had to fire some of the devs but and really nailed the lead dev but nothing ever really got fixed

I bet your favorite historical polity is Prussia

quality post

This for WW1 fo' sho' dead Germs for days.

Nubian Archers were so op the Babylionians need them to fight against the Egyptian Nubian Archers

Nothing gets nerfed except plagues. Everything else just got hard counters

Aircraft Carriers ---> Nerfed by Russian Missles

>the knights hospitalier
>nerfed by big boats

>Roman shield tactics

Hetairoi were never used against the Romans. Only Greeks, Persians, and Indians.

>Blitzkrieg ---> Nerfed by Human Wave Tactics

spotted the fucking retard

This pissed me off too.

>Cavalry
>Not nerfed by trench warfare/machine guns

>What were the most broken classes in history
Rugged hardworking American pilgrims
>and how were they nerfed?
Affluence induced obesity

It's true though. Russian peasants won by drowning the Germans in their own dead bodies for the glory of Communism.

>ctrl+f phalanx
>No results

Hoplites got nerfed by big Roman shields.

Blitzkrieg is nerfed by huge amount of territory to retreat on
Once you've been chasing the Russians on an area 4 times the size of France, the surprize effect kinda wears off

You shouldn't be allowed to post on Veeky Forums
The G*rms had more men until like 1943

Barbarians -> Crossbows
Barbarians -> Walls
Grand Empires -> Civil wars
Grand Empires -> Stagnations

Heavy Cavalry-> Guns and fuck-off huge pointy sticks

Slingers nerfed by longbows

European military superpowers -> Russian winter

>moskva burns

>gets fucked by Nips

Human Wave Tactics ---> Nerfed by massed artillery barrages (Korea)

Neither of those things are true.

1. Mongols were standard steppe horsemen, what made them threatening was how they were organized (well, that and numbers, plus good generals).
2. There's pretty strong evidence that A. there was no typhoon at all in the first invasion of Japan, and B. while there was one in the second invasion, the Mongols had already lost by the time it hit.

Nerfed by guns

cavalry got nerfed the second people started to realize that charging horses directly at a wall of bullets was bad idea
