Birger Jarl
Sergeant Knight at Arms
Khorne himself said:And how about including the spear bracing and volley fire mod ?Birger Jarl said:The problem is that the AI can't properly utilize Thrust attacks; unlike other attacks Thrust attacks will only deliver their damage at the very end of the stabbing animation, and if it impacts anything before the character has fully extended it's arm the attack will deal next to no damage. This is why Daggers and Shortswords are generally not bad in the hands of the AI; their short range means that an enemy has to be really, really close to "interrupt" the stab.
Spears on the other hand are so long that they will very, very often hit the target before the thrust animation is complete unless it is at a full spear's length away when they start attacking. The AI does not take this into consideration and try to keep its distance between it's target so they will rush into melee and try to do these impotent thrusting attacks which simply won't work that close in...
Those are already in vanilla Warsword.
