Crouching

[Knight105]

Just a few hours ago, I got unhorsed, pulled out my shield, and got shot in the legs a few times until I died. Then I thought to myself, "HEY! What if there were a crouch feature? It would help the shield cover up all of your body instead of just your middle!" but then of course with the kite shields there might be a clipping problem, but, nevertheless, I thought it might be a good idea to suggest it.

Spoiler

crouching is also good for teabagging in warband

YES YES YES!!!!

I love it. I can only count the numerous ocations that crouching would be awesome

And it would enable a couple new commands for your troops *Take Cover*

This would add a great dimention to combat as well as making the gun mods more realistic.

I always wanted to tea bag those pesky lords.

It would be particularly useful for ducking arrows/horizontal melee strikes or finding cover in the spaces between crenellations.

Imagine if you had a board shield. Your enemy couldn't see you.

 

[Belisarius]

Like "hey, where's that door going?"

****ing nice idea.

At the lunar war mod the guys are thinking to add coruching.

 

[FrisianDude]

Like "hey, where's that door going?"

And then they ride their heavy charger over it. Nobody likes walking doors.

Except the people behind the walking doors.

Give AI crossbowmen the ability to do so behind board shields and we'd be facing pavise crossbowmen--yikes.

 

[CountArtha]

Yes please!

You are correct. Crouching is a must.
Imagine: the enemy charges in. You command your infanty line to duck. The archers behind them shoot the enemy. The infantry get up and finish the remaining resistance.

Also, agree on spoiler.

It would be too awesome against cavalery :
First line of spearmen crouched and the second is not crouched so they can double their damage 

 

[Division]

I think there is mod like this...i haw heard  about something like this but still it is awesome  idea 

 

[Laiska-Jaakko]

Now that I think of it, being able to fall prone at will would be useful too. Maybe just with the crossbow. But in mods that have rifles it would be very useful.
