Did the search, nothing came up, so here it goes...
I have some doubts aboutthe damage of some weapons, particulary swords... most of the swords used at that time used much more of they're capacity to bash (don't know if the word is correct... to "bonk") on the other guy's armour, rather than to cut/slicethe guy... ofcourse, if you would have the misfortune of being a peasant in front of a 2 handed blade,wielded by a knight, tough... ok, limbs off.
The thing is... it seems quite clear to me that the watered-steel scimitar is the best 1h weapon in the game, no? because, besides of the speed, it also has the punch. Ok, ok... we all know that piercing weapons, like the longsword in frontal assaults do more damage,but still, I would 100 times prefer to use a scimitar to a longsword, if im thinking to attack anything, knights included (as in- wanting more damage and "easier" fighting vs a cool looking character with a nordic sword, for ex.).
I think that in someway the damage done by piercing weapons should be made more strong, or slicing against armour made weaker...
I can see a scimitar at high speed, coming from a great warrior and cutting hard trought a metal dude... I just don't see it happening all the time.
Shoot... i think i got a bit lost in here (actually wanted to say something else... oh well)
Ah, another thing is the small time damages. For instance, if you attack a guy and score 0 on him, he might still attack you, right? (at least it seems to happen quite frequently) I say it should happen with low damage to big guys (men at arms, knights... meaning armor packed guys) - in this way, a knight swarmed by5 peasants could still slash some heads and not just get overpowered (well, it could help)
thanx ppl
