I am still trying to understand the concept of mounted crouched damage and how to do it.
I've read somewhere that it is more effective without a shield. But other than that, I pretty much fail at spear/lance wielding.
Couched lancing (not c
rouched!

) is when the horseman holds the lance tucked in between his arm and body (try touching your elbow against your side, upper arm vertical and lower arm pointing horizontally forwards to get the idea). This was to brace the lance so that the rider and horse were transferring as much of their charging energy as possible into the enemy. In the game, you simply make your horse ride faster, and soon your lance will lower down automatically from its vertical position to a horizontal one (you can alter its height slightly by moving your mouse up and down). You do not press any keys or mouse buttons to perform couched lancing, you simply have to be riding fast enough with a polearm. To hit the enemy, because there is practically no side to side movement of the lance, you need to guide your horse to your target. Remember, don't press a mouse button!
