The armours are way too weak

[vota dc]

Not really with heavy setup on the armor. My berserker with very small armor setup...around 14-20 could be lesser can take couple of hits or 3 arrows with his medium skills. But i know you wanna be those guys running in to 10 in the middle and kill everyone without a sweat. Not gonna happen in Mount and Blade or at lest i hope not they are switching it to casual mode

Damage seems very tied of when someone is in motion. In sieges you can go behind enemies and strike them with axe with very few damage if you use slashes. They are like Taxi Driver "Hey, are you talking with me?", they just get 1-2 damage when you take them on the back. I think because there is a huge blob and something deflected it (there could be even a soldier that was facing you but formation is so dense that he can be inside another soldier!), while when they are moving and you hit them to the side you do massive damage (and kill more people with one slash) and armor seems someway ineffective for your enemies, sometimes you two hit them when they are armored but mostly are one hit.
Against arrows and tournament weapons armor seems very effective.

lol well usually its because you miss hit em with your shaft or something they get like 1-2 damage but i know that feeling haha But yeah AI needs to be reworked and will prob be due time And dont forget the damn cavalry coming right in blocking you when you got a good hit finally lined up on an infantry in all the brawling xD Well they could nerf your weapon dmg output skills if you guys feels its to high

So i just took out my army of 70 men on training. Had perhaps 3 T6 soldiers rest medium and recruits. Took out 100 looters in a brawl and only lost 3 men (which where recruits) by only commanding em doing nothing in Realistic/challenging mode, So idk what you guys are talking about.

I don't understand too, try to beat a kuzait darkhan in one handed and you'll see what armoured means, i was surprised with the stats on the left of the screen. My sword hitting his face for 65 dmg and 44 absorbed so he received only 21 dmg per hit, i had to give him more to make him sleep. All realistic and combat in veteran. Sry for my english.
