Orion said:Archery doesn't need a buff or a nerf, it needs a rework. IMO, archers shouldn't be able to carry full-size shields and bows/crossbows at the same time. Rate of fire for bows is generally too high and should be decreased. Accuracy shouldn't be decreased, but velocity & drop could be tweaked a bit. There's really no reason why archers should arbitrarily move significantly slower than infantry (in MP), but they certainly shouldn't be faster or kiting would be too easy.
Hopefully Bannerlord adds some kind of armor simulation, which was the only good thing from War of the Roses. Different types of armor work better against different types of weapons, which is why they were typically combined or layered in some way. Inventory slots for different layers of armor would be great, but even a simpler approach such as setting three different protection values for each piece of armor to match the three different damage types would be excellent and would provide a useful tool for balancing.
The Bowman said:I'd realy like to profit from the advantages of my armor. As far as I remember, some of the Crusades wore mail over gambeson in order to be protected against melee and ranged weapons at the same time.

Why not? They had a lot of time since that "presentation" to rework the inventory. Maybe they will give us more than 5 slots after all...The Bowman said:There surely isn't a multi-layering system for armour (wait, the cloaks), but there can be items such as "Mail with gambeson", for example.
They already did that in "With Fire and Sword": weaker arrows do cutting, while better arrows do piercing damage. Hopefully they will keep that in Bannerlord.Also, I'd like to see different arrows dealing a different type of damage, which shouldn't be that hard to implement.
They're absolutely the same, and that's the beauty of it!Meevar the Mighty said:How does it compare with a kilometre triangulated?
Andrix said:It's kinda brutal of them to announce the game 2 years ago and not give us a proper gameplay video yet.
