Underwater archering

[Ninja_Khorin]

How do you figure?

Archer in water gets concealment and protection from incoming melee, because they slow down.

Melee in water is a sitting duck. And gets concealment, but then again he can't attack anyone anyway.

Isn't hard to figure out, ToDdy.

I suggest that underwater archering is removed from the game, i think everyone understands how stupid feature it is.

As always:  Suggesting to remove something that is totally stupid and unrealistic, but please only remove it for archers, because a fully plated guy should be able to breathe and fight underwater, whereas underwater archery should be removed

Hardly, I've seen a full plater under water take out an entire group of archers. Being under water means slowly sneaking up on archers that are focused elsewhere is very easy. Obviously if you attack them from the front you are fucked. But what do you expect?

Remove it for all, or not at all.

.. So you've seen a full plater that moves slower than snail take out an entire group of archer underwater? What exactly is your point? If your point is that those archers would have been killed four times faster if they weren't underwater, then yes, I agree.

+1 for drowning, either that or I wanna see some gills! Oooor enter some sort of fancy swim mode inwhich you cant attack anyways

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

Just remove anything that has to do with underwater.
Characters should drown and that's it.

Btw,if you want to have some swim option, how would you do it? A guy with full plate shall be swimming around?

There is a stuff in Vikingr about underwater breathing.
