Post any interesting hints, strategies, or interesting things about fighting in here.
Parthian Shot
(Horse archers only)
Basicaly you ride toward the enemy, turn around when your JUST out of mellee weapon range, and ride away at walking speed. The enemy tailgaters get shot full of arrows and you can hardly miss because theyre only a few feet away.
Doesnt work well if the enemy has bows or throwing weapons.
I suggest keeping a mellee weapon as well, because you WILL run out of arrows in larger battles and running away to get more reduces your loot.
That and I hate having to run away from one half-naked river pirate.
Works with horses (dark riders) as well, but not quite as good because you cross the map too fast and if you run into anything, your either dead or badly wounded.
Run-N-Gun
(archers)
Like the Parthian Shot, but without the horse.
Walk away from your enemy, pull your bow back, once the reticle is at its smallest, stop, shoot.
Repeat until dead.
Speed is Everything
(horse people)
Speed is all important. If your on a horse and stop near an enemy, your screwed. Try to get going as fast as possible.
Its important for weapons as well, more speed=more damage and less chance of getting hit.
Dont get into an Archery match
Unless your REALLY good at the bow/crossbow.
The computer tends to hit things alot, in my experience. You will generaly lose a long range archer match with more than one guy.
More, maybe?
