Great work adjusting horse archers combat distance in the last update.

The remaining part is lance charge - lancers (knights, mameluks, steppe lancers etc.) don't use couch lances, they just try to hit the enemy thrusting their lances with the hand like short spears or just chose short maces and charge with maces in hands and their 4m lances on their backs.
Do you have any controll over their behaviour to adjust it? Personally i've found hitting the target with 4m lance quite difficutl, when hitting target with the same 4m lance with basic attack like a spear during charge, easy.

For the authors of the MOD:
Thanks for you work, this is the best and most impressive MOD for Bannerlord so far. I've became so spoiled i can't enjoy vanilla combat anymore. All true shield sizes, armor actually working, different weapons being proper for different situations, hand thrown spears and javelins speed, archery etc. And i haven't even talk about AI and battles. It's great it is compatible with De Re Militari as well.
With RBM everything becomes far less generic - you have to find more specific and interesting solutions to defeat different enemies, when in vanilla you will deal with everyone with 3-4 swings of a common sabre. Keep up your work, it's awesome.

Very good idea. It would naturally balance the game against quick snowballing, because maintaining culturaly different cities would require more effort. Something like rebelions in occupied cities right now.

It's a variant. Elite Cataphracts have I think 3 different sets they can wear. It's there to add visual variety and historical accuracy.

No. I've checked, there is no variations in case of Elite Cataphract, there is only this one single set with messed leg and hand armor from different set.

Then I recommend adding a repair system, otherwise powerful armor with a pseudo-realistic mode will not show the most serious obstacle, why not everyone can afford the best in life. Buying is not as difficult as maintaining in good condition. Each missed hit will hit the wallet, and not just when the unit dies. Of course, ammunition will also be consumed, and not appear from nothing, with each battle.

No. It would be realistic, but not fun, not interesting and not adding another layer to combat. It would be like sleeping simulation - unnecessery hindrance.
This is a game and it has to be fun and reasonably realistic in parts where it is also fun and enjoyable.

Using specialised, rare, PIERCE or BLUNT attacks weapons against specific armored opponents will make the game more fun, diverse, interesting and adding another/depth layer to the combat, instead of doing everything with just a common sabre/sword. Adding armor repairs and arrow losing would add nothing fun or interesting.

Yes, i have to agree.

My proposition would be to increase CUT armor resistance factor by huge margin. And decrease bows armor penetration, even though i love using bows.

This would enforce using specialised, rare, PIERCE or BLUNT attacks and weapons making the game more fun, diverse, interesting and adding another/depth layer to the combat.

What is more PIERCE and BLUNT weapons have many disadvantages like BLUNT being slow and short reach, PIERCE being difficult to hit and easy to block and dodge - this would give them their proper purpose.
Right now simple sabre or sword does everything, just CUTTING LMB spam with a sabre is by far the easiest so it shoud have this one significant disadvantage of being close to useless against heavy armor.
