Recently, I've been getting crashes whenever I shoot someone on Vinegar Hill. Not sure if it affects other maps. I know it's only when I hit them, because when I shoot at them and miss everything works just fine.

also in this time the byzantenes and ottomans were at each other's throats. however there was not a victor until after 1400.

1300-1400 Ottoman/Byzantene

I didn't give it a proper read, but I noticed something:

MASS (of Horse and Rider) X VELOCITY = FORCE OF IMPACT.

Completely wrong. That would be the impulse of impact or the transfer of momentum entailed by the collision. The force is still 1/2mv2. Additionally, it's not just the mass of the rider and horse unless they are a rigid body. The rider and weapon will both move backward on impact, resulting an a decreased impulse (giving the target time to accelerate while the horse and rider essentially rotates on its axis). But I digress.

One of the biggest misconceptions about shock combat is that the combined weight of horse and rider is directly translated to the lance - As if somehow the horse, rider, and lance were one rigid mass. In fact, they may move down the field as one, but at the moment of impact, they react as separate units.

In reality the rider's body acts as a shock absorber, or buffer, between the lance and horse. It cannot be stressed enough that the rider's own strength and weight are the key to translating the mass of the horse into the force of impact. Although the size of the medieval warhorse gradually increased over time, the effective size of the lance and horse interface (the rider) did not.

It is the resilience of that interface between lance and horse that determines the amount of energy put into the impact. Thus the amount of the horse's mass that could be effectively put behind the lance was directly determined by the rider's size and strength. In other words, a larger, stronger horse does not mean a harder hit, while a larger, stronger rider usually does. In fact, in a joust I am more concerned about a large rider on a small horse, than a small rider on a large horse. Velocity can increase or diminish the relative force of the impact. This is true both in terms of hitting and being hit.

The author does say the saddle and the stirrups are of little consequence, and he went on to prove this using a saddle. I'd like to see/hear about him charging his shock quintain riding bareback. It seems to me he wouldn't be secured and slide off.

To test this, I removed the saddle, and made several repeated passes at the quintain. By utilizing a "Clenched Seat" position, I was able to deliver sufficient force to topple the target and ride on, safe and sound. The impact did cause my body to "slide back" somewhat on the horse, but by attenuating the impact with my own muscles, I was able to manage the impact well. I have even performed a joust without a saddle, when a girth broke and it was quicker to remove rather than replace the saddle.

The stirrup isn't needed, though I'm not sure anyone ever claimed it was.
