Hello all,
with all the archers around on the servers, maybe something should be done and an idea is to remove the Bodkin Arrows (P) dmg.
I REALLY dont care about the "historically bodkins could(nt) pierce armour".
This is purely from a balance perspective. You'd have Xbows as armour piercing (but slow firing, reload...) and archers as fast firing (and accurate!) but weak v. armour.
The result would be armour dudes ability to survive some time v. arrows AND
heavy cavalry will become effective v. Archers.
The 2nd is very important, because right now heavy cav suffers a lot to archers - remember that any attacking cav also has a LARGE speed bonus to dmg because its charging the archer.
