I won´t be able to play the game for a while to test this new feature so please share your experience with it, could be a great thing and could change the outcome of battles if it works and if the AI is able to use it.
Is that with a custom battle?Testing spear bracing ?
yesIs that with a custom battle?
That... kinda works! Not bad at all!Testing spear bracing
Ha, good point. Poor melee cavalry...OK. Seriously cavalry AI needs to be updated not to charge into spears like that.... WTF.
Testing spear bracing ?
Next step, like with toddlers, one step before the other! I hope the realistic battle mod guys can improve this.Ha, good point. Poor melee cavalry...
Have you tried the latest version of RBM that drastically improved infantry formations? i made a few very positive tests and in one (500 vs 500 all high tier units) had a legionary shieldwall absolutely trash a Vlandian cavalry charge, soak their crossbowmen bolts like they were flies and then hold against their infantry charge for minutes without breaking a sweat, in the end i separated a small 50 men force from the main shieldwall and used it to flank in skein formation to finish the Vlandians, it was simply... beautifulThat was fast, thanks!

I like the mod but I think that cav is OP in this mod but with those options they can make something awesome I hope.
Ha, good point. Poor melee cavalry...
Or, here me out: Cav gets a special charge attack the player can order that IS committed and is more powerful (actually works) BUT of course if you choose to use it there's a chance the enemy can quickly spear brace against it and ef em over.OK. Seriously cavalry AI needs to be updated not to charge into spears like that.... WTF.
Well... i have 2 things to say about that:OK. Seriously cavalry AI needs to be updated not to charge into spears like that.... WTF.

There aren't enough troops with 230+ length polearms to impact battles in a normal playthrough. 230+ length is really, really long. I think only Vlandian pikemen have them by default but I haven't gone through all the troops yet.I won´t be able to play the game for a while to test this new feature so please share your experience with it, could be a great thing and could change the outcome of battles if it works and if the AI is able to use it.
