Duck!

[Leshma]

It would be really nice if we had even more character animations in Warband.

What animations? We already have pretty much every animation we need. Ducking? Yeah, well. But I really doubt they well implement a new combat mechanic. And for not-really-useful ducking we can always have that old animation that originates from western mod iirc

Add a new hotkey for people to duck. Use the xbow reload animation. I don't think it will unbalance anything. But people can try to duck those incoming lances or arrows or mace to the face from shielders. Since you would be stuck ducking for as long as the animation lasts (so speed it up!), those classes can always just aim low.

Exactly Dexx. The reason I suggested the Xbow reload is because the animation is already in-game (though not sure if not having a xbow would jack it up). Mainly it would just need a new hotkey that fires that animation (speeded up of course, arbalest duck would be a "kill me now!" button  )

it would be cool, a fast ducking/crouching animation to dodge or take cover or diferent strategies.

The xbow reload animation? Ahahaha that would be hilarious. Now we just need crowns and I can become king and let all my subjects bow for me.

I ducked a swing as a reload a crossbow once.
Had a heart attack when I realized it happened.
