Fritz: I can agree with the guys who are "against" the damage system. I can't hit a low level- poorly geared guy more than 40-50-60 with my two handed axe,or with my lance BUT I receive a 150-200 damage from a POORLY geared horseman. (I have the most expensive and best armour(80 body for example),weapons ) So it is quite a frustrating contrast. Of course I am a big fan of this mod,this is why I am on this forum and writing. And for example the javelin damage is quite ridiculous too. I throw a 51 dmg Javelin into a peasant head and it said he received 10-20-30 damage and still fighting around. So Javelins are very very low damage weapons in this rev. I discovered that fighting with a lance is a fool thing to do because of the durability of this type of weapon. No matter how expensive is your lance you can just kill 1-2 men with it and after it will break like glass.
By the way the injury system is one of the cause that I'm playing this mod. It makes the game far more realistic. And it's better now that you can't kill 50 men singlehadedly,without help, in a shiny armor. So it's far better. It's quite realistic. Just need a little balance in some weapons damage.
