Companions and lances

[Srae]

Hi, sorry if posted before. I've been playing this mod and it looks very promising and tough, but I've got an issue with my companions. Is the couching lance a player only feature? or am I missing something? My companions won't charge and won't change their weapon during the entire fight, say from lance to sword and shield or axe.

They are close to useless and clueless.

Or is it me ?

Couche damage isn't player only but I don't know why they wont change tough.

It's not player only but AI don't use it on purpose. Only if somebody run into their lance. Otherwise the try to attack with lance as with other weapon.

Yeah, I've been playing further into the mod, beefing them up. They are a bit better now and manage to take a few down. They change from ranged to melee weapons, but there's no point in giving them a fine sword, because they keep fighting with their lance, even when they've been unhorsed, wich makes no sense at all.

just give them a sword and bow and forget the spear/lance, it's too silly seeing them ride around poking at the enemy with them.

I'm pretty sure that if you don't give them a shield, they will start couching their lances. It's worth a shot.
