Hooked attack and spear bracing

[JuanNieve]

It would be possible to add a tournament lance with which you can take down from the horse other opponents? For jousting tournament.

I think the spear brace will at least stop cav from charging through groups of infantry in the open. The pike only works if you get your timing exactly right, and many cav would risk it since couching is 12X easier.

Sadly it won't help with the cav barreling around corners with lance couched. I find it odd cavalry is much more deadly in narrow streets than in open areas.

If the bracing also means our Devs gonna nerf arrow damage in the future. Then it's a great idea.

If it also means people can stay and fight, instead of running around to adjust their stance and absorbs friendly damages. Greater idea.

Otherwise, it will be useless in MP.

So... make the formation important, encourage players fight together, please.

Because of the attack animation of the pike.
Plus cavs are assassins not real-world cavs. Narrow streets are belongs to assassins.

Good cavs are masters of misdirection.
They don't need a shade to hide. They are hiding inside the gap of people's attentions.
So... What if they have buildings to help them create blind spots now?
