Killing a horse should give you a kill.

Horrible solution filled with holes.

I agree that there's holes with the theory - it's unpolished.

But they're smaller holes than having two arrows weigh the same as a throwing lance. Or one arrow weighing the same as a throwing axe.

Yes, clearly, because endless kiting was never a problem. Oh, wait..

There were better ways of stopping kiting - a better solution would have been to introduce a hard cap to WPF, say 150, which would mean that archers would have to have some points in melee. The only reason archers don't have points in melee is because if they do, their accuracy falls at longer range and if you can't shoot accurately at long range, you might as well be a thrower.

Fuck, even on my HA I still have no problem dodging enemy cav, and that's with 3 stacks of bodkin and 0 athletics. It's not archers being unable to dodge cav: It's you failing at dodging cav.

3 stacks of bodkins and 0 athletics - so with a minimum of 32 equipment weight and 0 athletics you can still dodge cavalry with no problem? Horseshit.

Suggestions Corner / Gastraphetes?

Seeing as there's another thread for a new crossbow, I thought I might throw this classic into the ring.

"The gastraphetes (from Ancient Greek γαστραφέτης, English translation: "belly-releaser") was a hand-held crossbow used by the Ancient Greeks. It was described in the 1st century AD by the Greek author Heron of Alexandria in his work Belopoeica, which draws on an earlier account of the famous Greek engineer Ctesibius (fl. 285–222 BC). Heron identifies the gastraphetes as the forerunner of the later catapult, which places its invention some unknown time prior to c. 400 BC.

Unlike later Roman and medieval crossbows, spanning the weapon was not done by pulling up the string, but by pushing down an elaborate slider mechanism."

The weight increase for bows and arrows makes it damn near impossible to dodge a horse - especially if it's an Arabian. This means that not only can a shielder chase and usually catch my archer with 7 ath, a couching horseman will be almost guaranteed to kill me. Makes having athletics on an archer almost pointless now - might as well switch to 10PD longbowmen, since the arrows do so little damage and you normally can't out-run a pursuer anyway.

Of course, if you do that, your WPF is so low that you can't hit where you're aiming regardless and woe is you if you don't have +3 bodkins.

While you can still stab-bump-turn-stab-bump-turn-repeat until enemy is dead on an arabian, lancers do not need to be buffed.

Fuck crossbows and everyone who uses them.

That's all I've got to say.
