0 damage!

i do 0 damage with my poleax to a vaegir veteran after .632 sometimes

Yeah very often I do 0 damage when I should do normal damage at least. Especially when chasing a horse with a horse. And type of weapon doesn't really seem to mather much.

you do 0 damage because youre hitting with the weapon too early. you need to hit near, or close to, the end of your thrust, right before you pull the weapon back. its not a bug, and it makes more sence this way.

And enemies have armor too, you know...so better put some force behind those swings if you wanna do some damage...

As for polearms, I think they more or less have a minimum range now too...

i think there should be a system where different weapons have different damage ranges depending how early or late the weapon strikes the target. for example, big heavy weapons such as halberds (put halberds in the game please) need to hit much later in the swing then lighter weapons, but do immense damage with a good solid hit, while light weapons such as daggers or short swords do almost the same amount of damage if they hit early rather then late in the swing, but they dont do really much damage.

im no physics expert, but i believe such a system also makes sence irl, because if somthing has more weight, it takes a lot to get it going and its slow to get moving, but it hits with more force at the end because of the extra weight behind it.
