(0.632) Couched Lance doesn't report damage

I'd say every 6 or 7 lance attacks, I'll get an odd result.

It'll say 'Couched Lance Damage!'... and then not report the damage. I've also done 0 point couched lance hits.

These APPEAR to be when I'm barely up to speed for a couched lance, or my strike was slightly off, or any number of reasons I might have gotten a glancing blow... but they fall down.
 
I just had the same thing in a tournament where you get the couched-lance-message but no damage.

If the relative speed difference is low it's possible to do little or no damage with couched lance. Could this be the reason?

For me, yes. But I'm confused why I'd knock them over with no horse charge though.
 
It will say Couched lance damage and not report an amount if the attack is blocked or parried.

Blocked or parried attacks never give a damage amount message.
 
Arm: I'm saying that I've knocked people over with the couched lance, with no damage, but the horse did not charge them. Sorry if my earlier statement was confusing.

Cleitan, you can't block or shield a couched lance.
 
You can block and shield a counched lance, I do it against enemies all of the time, and it will do 100+ damage to my shield and say Couched lance damage without giving a number since it was blocked.

...... That's new, and not how I understood it worked.

Armagan? Bug, new feature, I'm an idiot?
 
Unless the AI can block from behind while attacking a friendly. Lance is reporting 0 damage in arena for me and dont want to try it in a fight. I tried it over 6 times and dozens of attacks and never seen over 0 or the "Couched lance damage!" message.
 
If you're at the speed where you just couch your lance (and I guess have lowish polearm skills and maybe also a horse with low charge), then you'll have a high chance of getting a 0 damage or that "no damage displayed" couched lance...
 
I've also seen this happen. I charge with my spirited courser towards some (usually shielded) foe and the couched lance damage message shows, but somewhy I hear blocking sound and no damage is displayed. As far as I know couched lance damage can not be blocked. It's pretty rare, but at most it has happened three times in one battle.
 
There has been allot of changes to the lance in this update. The realsim of the lance has come close to real life. Damage is extremley reduced at close range to the point of no damage at all, to do any type of damage you need some distance from you and the enemy. The lance has become an almost waste of time at lower skill levels.
 
It CAN be blocked, you can blcok it an enemies can block it.

GO ahead and Block it and notice it damaging your shield and NOT reporting any HP damage.

.... Cant block it?! WHy the heck would Armagan make it unblockable?! Ever see jousting, ever? You can surely block a couched lance.

Couched lance used to be unblockable, though I guess I need to change that to fit the new damage model.

So the answer to my question was 'modification'. Thank ye senor. :smile:
