A few suggestions

[Ulter]

Warband combat system further enhanced by c-rpg features is great, however I've come up with some suggestions that might make it  more interesting if implemented.

- Make weapons only deal damage with the actual blade/point

I've found it really wierd that I can hurt people with my bec de corbin even when I'm really close to them, and during the swing, the actual spike of the weapon ended up behind them, not even touching them. My suggestion is to make hits with wepaons wooden shafts' or swords' hilts deal reduced blunt damage instead.

- Tweak two handed swords' halfswording mode.

Halfswording is a technique that lets a fighter use his two handed sword in a situation when there is very little space (for example in hand to hand combat, or when attacked by an enemy with a shield). Unfortunetaly in c-rpg it has little use. I think that first of all the wpf that is used in that mode needs to be changed to 2h. Secondly the sideswings should be faster than the normal mode, but deal less damage. Another change should be concerning the time to swtich between the modes. Currently it takes way too long. Also the damage on normal mode 2h stab should be reduced. That way it will be possible to choose between long range, but weak, or short, but powerful stab.

- Bow reloading.

Something that I would really like to see changed in the current game is the way archers reload their bows. I believe the rolad should be similar to the one crossbows use. What I mean is that, an archer should be able to put an arrow on the string of the bow, ready to be released when he wants to.
If he decides to shoots, he pulls the string and releases the arrow. Moving wiht an arrow on the string would be possible, but the speed could be reduced a little.

- Add sounds for characters wearing armour

IRL moving around in plate or mail armour can be quite noisy.

I think adding some sounds for movement in armour would greatly improve the immersion of the game.

Please go ahead and post your opinions about these suggestions

I like the part about lowering normal 2h stab damage. (again)

I agree with most of your suggestions, also, a complement for the fitst one, I think 2h stabbing NEXT TO the person and dragging it into him should also be fixed.

They actually have code for your first suggestion.


however its a balance nightmare and one of the reasons they are making their own game
