[SUGGESTION] Give more power to thrusts

Thrusts seem rather powerless now. A pike thrust at optimum range will deal no more than a third of a steppe horse's health, and will rarely kill it even when it comes at full gallop.

Tested the rhodok spiked staff too, same problem: stabbed a horseman wearing free clothes (or perhaps gambeson), at first when he was coming against me, then at least 2 more times with no speed bonus till he died.

Maybe the instant stab bug was fixed? Where the attack did full damage immediately, before the weapon moved forward, and also for a short period after the weapon stopped moving forwards... if that's the case here I would suggest getting used to it.

Possibly the damage dealt (not animation length!) of thrust attacks could be increased across the board; however this might in effect revert the decreased damage of thrusting attacks from horseback a while back, which I thought was a good change. If mounted thrusting is going to be more powerful again, in my opinion it needs to be limited in some way when used beyond a moderate angle relative to the direction of travel.

Thrusts deal less damage now than they ever did since at least 0.613.

Isn't that a new feature from something like .650? Weapons have the sweet spots where they make full damage and especially polearms don't do full damage except with the tip and on the right area of the swing.

Didn't noticed this at all, killed many people with free armor or the leather jenkins in one hit with pike. Also killed other in one spiked staff thrust.

Perhaps I don't have much practice yet, but they are still weaker than ever.

Don't know about you but I am still getting cut in half by the stave of the longaxe.
