Oh please. If anything has to be nerfed it's lancing.

And I don't even play as horse archer except very rarely for change of pace.

Shield on the back


It's amazing.

Why nobody had the idea that every player will have option to change treshhold in settings ? This way, every player will be happy.

I'd still very much prefer to block upward swing totally. It's better in new patch but every now and then I still do upward swing even when im not moving upwards.

There's no blur at lower graphical settings.

Everyone knows about the wheel of death and other such objects...

Aaaah   I got stuck in a wheel today, and even funnier - someone was saying how on earth could I get stuck and what am I doing... then he got stuck in later game as well, in the same place

AoC 说:

To help you understand, there are multiple other cultures on this path. Most of them more interesting than one from japan.

Such as?

Japan is quite unique, and thus very interesting. It would also mean a second horse archer faction. Calradia isn't representing the globe, so there's no harm in japan-like faction being near some of the existing ones.

So what are these more interesting ones, out of curiosity. I can only think of China and India, but until war elephants get coded neither will India. And somehow I doubt you would like China either although it's quite unique and interesting.

However, if there will be Arabic faction in Warband, expect:

Camels.


ps: And since this is mount and blade, it might be fun to actually have war elephant too. Unfortunately this wouldn't fit small maps as they are now, but I think it would be pretty fun even if just in singleplayer.

Attacksmurfen 说:

From a japanese movie? Is that meant as proof somehow? Are you serious?

Yes I'm serious. Yes it's meant as a proof (demonstration). Your view of movies being all totally unrealistic is as flawed as the view of those who think everything in movies is real.

And as for Japan:

The Japanese ultimately modified the heads of their spears into a number of different variations, leading to the use of the spear both on foot and from horseback, and for slashing as well as the primary use of attacking with thrusts

This isn't from a movie.


Of course that in tight formations like those used in Europe (hoplites, swiss..), you're not going to swing inside a formation, but that doesn't mean spears can't be used that way. Nicely seen in japanese warfare because japanese in general had more individualistic approach to warfare.


Spear handling
A yari (left) in mock combat

Spears, although apparently simple weapons, have a remarkable variety of wielding methods. Some are listed here from most passive to most active motions.

  1. Holding the spear or bracing it against the ground, a charging enemy impales themselves.
  2. The spear is thrust out with the arms alone.
  3. The spear is held stiffly, and the thrust is delivered by stepping forward.
  4. The spear is thrust out with the arms while stepping forward with one or both feet.
  5. The front hand releases as the back hand and back foot move forward to perform a long thrust.
  6. The spear is slid through the front hand, propelled by the back hand (a similar action to using a Billiards Cue).
  7. The spear is thrown, often at a run, releasing when the opposite foot to the throwing arm is forward.
  8. The spear is held couched under one arm, allowing a swinging motion as well as a powerful thrust.
  9. The spear is swung rather than thrust, causing the tip of the blade to slice open the foe's flesh. The sheer momentum built up by swinging can be enough to cause serious injury even with the blunt end. The spear can then be brought around in a stabbing motion.

I think this pretty much closes the topic.

I saw that error several times, but don't know why. I do use older comp, but this doesn't look like client-side issue.

Agreed.

This killed me way too many times. First I thought it's because I'm relatively new, but then I started to notice that even in some normal situations when I want to swing left or right I swing upwards for vertical blow.


If there was a way to completely block upward swing I'd do it. I mostly play with glaive/war spear, and this is really annoying. When I play with something else it's more or less fine, but with poleaxes.. please fix this.

Sgt Pepper 说:

I think they just need to change the text colour.

点击展开...

Text color won't do because backgrounds and scenery change. As someone who is coming from a country where it's normal to see subtitled movies on tv (unlike in countries where foreign movies are synchronized), I can tell you that the best solution are shadowed letters. Otherwise, like in old movies we had, where subtitles had no shadow, it's difficult to read and you gotta stretch eyes.

Including steppes into trade routes is very bad. Carrying goods slows you down. There are lots and lots of cavalry there and chances are you'll get ambushed and lose.  It's not a problem for those who just load the game all the time, but if you want to load the game simply do char export/import and give yourself the money.

My god, I ask for gray hair in the game, and get attacked for wanting game developers to spend next 5 months working on graphical issues.


What this world needs is a cruel son-of-a-***** hegemon who will molest and torture 90% of humans and 10% of the rest will rejoice.

It matters to me. I can't Alt+tab fast because of slow comp, and I find tabbing while in the middle of the battle quite impractical.
Another reason I find this great is that I can see when my mic is mute and when not.. but you can probably alt-tab
