Currently there's no way to disable this feature, but I'll add an option to deactivate it in the next release
This is mostly done to allow player to recover and resume -prolonged- battle (with a minimum of hit points)
It's made especially for the famous siege bug (when some remaining enemy soldiers stuck somewhere and your soldiers are unable to reach them
...)
Progress report :
Nothing special, continuing to adapt/retexture new armors and testing the game in depth...
Cavalry flanking :
The Sultan with his battle armor :
and his "ceremonial" clothes :
This mod becomes really hardcore (my whole army has been crushed very easly):

Gotta remove them all (kebab) . Loving the updates man the models look amazing and everything just goes together , nothing sticks out too much just a perfect balance . Me gusta .
Waiting for the next release of this is killing me. Everything is so detailed... if I get off my arse I am considering a lets play of this.

Where are you stuck in the quest ?
BTW , I found a funny bug when testing shield bash script
That's not a bug that's a feature
If my buddy whomped me with his shield I'd definitely whomp him back!
already "fixed" !Progress report :
- So, shield bashing is now fully functional
- Spear + shield conbination are now more effective, also for pikes and the others polearms ...
- Half swording : press "x", and every two handed/bastard sword can become "hand and half sword", a dangerous thrusting sword.
Now that's done, there'll be spearmen everywhere
starting by changing these unrealistic afirid two handed swordsmen (light armor with two handed sabre = suicide against horse archers, and I can see jokes coming ) to spearmen/javeliners troops
Wait wait wait what?
You actually made spear and shield combos USEFUL!?
You made them be able to properly fight and not do the whole "thrust awkwardly and then get duped with the animation?!"
And, for overhead spear stabs you actually managed to fix the hitbox of it to where overhead swings were preferable?
There's no way you've done that without black voodoo magic and the sacrifices of many virgins and walruses alike. That's like curing cancer in this game.
Like I've seen the overhead stab thing with shields but that often replaces animations for swords too (which, mind you works rather nicely but sometimes it can be weird looking.)
Please post a video. I must see this.
I thought spear uselessness was already settled, and most of the new (and "big") mods have some improved spear animations, especially "spear based formations" mods like brytenwalda (long ago) , fires of war , rome at war (100% ok), ...
I did it just to catch up a little bit my lateness
and it's still not as good as the others mods (anyway, this is supposed to be a late medieval game, then Tohlobaria is a more "poleaxes" mod than spears + shields)
Inspired by that from brytenwalda (but mine still worse of course)
So, I simply increased the speed and the damage of spears (too lazy for complicated things), the result is not bad at all !

Yeah, the issue Brytenwalda still had was the spear stutter as I called it and that the AI wouldn't really know how to do the formations properly.
But if you increased speed that ought to have fixed it; as it was way too slow with the stutter.

ahh love spear units nice addition

but even like that they remain less efficient than the swordsmen
(but adequate for cheap low tier troops)
I was impressed by the efficiency of spearmen in "1257 ad" mod (there kicking you down to earth and piercing you to the death with their spears...)
that's why I add the shield bash
in short, spearman (and pikeman) is good in groups (formation) but very vulnerables in 1 vs 1 duel
Thanks
It's your mod (that prompted me to add spearmen (pure jealousy
) you have added new animations (I loved the overhead spear) and improved the whole thing while I only increased spear speed
