Spear Bracing Demonstration Video!

Users who are viewing this thread

Hi lads!I was kinda bored,so i desided to make a video to show people how the spear bracing system works!
The mod i used was Europe 1200!What a great mod,i have to say.

Native Expansion had the spear bracing first.
Merc just got generous and decided to release the code so she (or Jinnai) are the ones who are awesome.

 
Din't look like the spear brace actually killed anything in any of the three vids (besides the second). Most of the kills happened after impact, which probably means that the spearmen either pulled out their side arms or just used their spears to stab the trapped cavalry to death. If you wanted to show off its uses, it may have been better to prop the spearmen on the foot of a hill, or on the edge of a map, so the cavalry doesn't just charge through/around and slash them from behind. I believe that the Italian Renaissance mod has a tweaked version of the spear brace that makes it so that horses stop when they get struck by the spear.

Yeah, i think that the spears actually killed only the horses,and after that they killed the knights :roll:
 
Ehm.. I don't know what to say really.... Remember to credit The Mercenary and NE will you ? :smile:
 
It does seem ineffective, especially since they weren't being hit by chargers or warhorses, only light cavalry. 
 
Spear bracing is meant to stop the charge...then when the horses are dead or dying the men go in for the kill. Thats the whole point.
