charging horses

[nightrunn3r]

I noticed during the tournaments, I keep getting hit by my opponents horses, and recieve 0 damage. It happens pretty much every time i run into the horse, even if I touch the side of the horse. Sometimes it even happens when the horse is completely stopped. Also, the "New enemies" and "reinforcements" dialouge is still bugged. I got the reinforcements message in a battle when I didn't even have any companions.

Well, it was already noted... Horses in arena are rather poor charge-wise, and you are dressed in armor - therefore, it is not enought to damage. It's not a bug, definetely.
Reinforcements and enemies messages are bugged, allright.

i know it's supposed to do damage, but sometimes it happens when i walk into the side of the horse, or even when I walk into the back of the horse.

Hrrm - sounds like the simplest solution would be to not even register attacks that do 0 damage. Just don't pop up a 'damage dealt' line unless at least 1 damage is taken?

I see lots of 0s right now. I only have a standard Courser in the game, and while fast enough for jousting, it's not nearly fast enough to deal damage by itself.

I think I have to disagree with only showing reports of damage greater than 0. It's sometimes useful to know that my hits are actually landing, but they're just not penetrating the armor. Maybe only stop reports of 0 damage for horse charging?

I guess that's exactly what he meant
And btw, courser, I'm sure, is fast enough but not heavy enough - charge stat is too low.

Charge stats takes into account the horse's agressiveness and its inclination to run over people. It's not just momentum.
