Fighting on steep terrain

If the enemy is on higher ground:
My overheads hit the target fast and are very useful. If the enemy starts an overhead swing, I can be faster with another attack and do not have to block.

When I am on higher ground:
Using overheads is a bad idea, and I must block every overhead of the enemy.

How do the other attack directions behave on hills?

Is there any difference in stabbing downhill or uphill?

Yes, contrary to real life being on lower ground is usually advantageous in the WB engine.

I'm trying to imagine a melee duel in real life with someone being on high ground and someone being on lower ground (on a hill).  I can't really imagine how it plays out..the guy up higher has access to the lower guys upper body, but the lower guy should be able to reach the upper guys legs without the upper guy being able to hit the lower guy...

Crouch and stab down, I imagine.
