Idea about lances

[Okkam]

I'm not a cav myself, but when I saw public polearms statistic, it was clear that 95% of lancers prefer Heavy lance.
I think that such advantage is not healthy enough.

My suggestion - every shorter than «heavy lance» lance must receive some bonus to «lancer arc». Not big, but something to encourage people to diversity.

Example:
If heavy lance have 30 degree effective arc>
Then Lance must have 33,
Light Lance - 36,
Doublesided lance - 39

Discuss?

I really like this idea.

[Torben]

similar has been discussed before.  afaik it cant be changed or sth

[Digglez]

good idea, but arcs need to be significant higher than what you posted in order for them to be any use at all or attractive to lancers

somtin like...
lance 37.5
light lance 45
double sided 55

would be nice if this arc worked for both couching & thrusting, or if thrusting arc was twice the arc for the couch.

i think it was hardcoded for 2 useable angles only, 140 and 90 or something like that

Light Lance got a speed buff with last patch.

As far as I know 95% of lancers use the heavy lance because it's the only one that out ranges a 2h stab at their horse with a bit of skill.
