I'm trying to play as a Battanian with no mounts, only melee.
And the thing that I noticed by playing a bunch of tournaments is, if just get hit once by one of these high level proficiency nobles with a 2-handed sword, my health goes from max to zero.
I'm not lightly armored, I'm wearing:
-Warlord helmet: 53 head armor
-Heavy warlord pauldrons: 20 body | 10 arm armor
-Highborn mail armor: 48 body | 22 leg armor | 12 arm armor
-Scale warlord braces: 25 arm armor
-Scaled boots: 26 leg armor
I also have the perk that gives me slightly more HP. I know this is not Warband plate, but you would think it should be able to tank more than one hit.
It feels like melee builds are at such a disadvantage compared to cavalry or archer builds, where they can dish out so much damage at minimal risk.
For example, my last campaign was an Aserai melee cav lord and I was able to
just press F1+F3 every battle and win with no losses (highest difficulty).
