I would love to see even just a 1-2 point increase in punch damage, just so you can flinch someone if you hit them right. Right now its very hard to deal 5 damage with a punch even against nekkids. (You can if you use voulgiers with that footwork perk). I agree, the unarmed animations and mechanics are actually pretty cool, and I'd love to see them used a little more other than just end-of-match dicking around.
The boxing tournament went well, even tried to make a second one, but they removed the stun from punching, so it was canceled.
As long as it is not viable in a proper fight, sure why not. But knowing the development of this game next meta will probably be that people fight with a shield and fist because it will be broken.
You know, i'd love to see this if only to amuse myself through me inevitably dying to an unarmed Peasant Levy while i'm playing literally any of the heavy infantry units, or a dismounted light cav with Improved Armor.
That's because boxing is a sport first and foremost while the others you later mentioned are martial arts. If boxers were taught how to kick and puch below the groin area it would be another case.From the moment we were taught to strike with fists from 4 directions, I would quite like to see even a separate skill cell in one of the mods in the distant future, like one-handed weapons and other skills.
Fist fighting is also quite cool and fun.
...But to be honest, IRL boxers shamefully lose to sambists, wrestlers and jiu-jitters 1 on 1
agree
