Cavalry changes discussion (Version 0.230)

[Overdriven]

Great video!  That's what I was looking for but the cav demo was the only thing i could find last night.

Besides thrusts to side and (weaker) rear, it also shows slashing with the lance tip, and use of the sabre while retaining the lance!

Duel wield!

[Jailbait]

Duel wield!

I'll be conservative as a sop to the crunchies out there, dual-wielding would be too much and I'll only insist on the ability to retain the lance.  And thrust over 180* arc... and slash.  I'll give up an even tighter couching arc though.

Is it even possible anyway? I didn't think it was

The guy in your video doesn't even wield his lance like in the game. It's closer to the couched lance than the awkward one handed lances we have.

so your saying that the bad/lack of proper animation is enough argument for that nerf ? even if it proves lancing cav is able to make those attacks ?

Thus the brave knight charged the lowly peasant who wielded a two handed sword, the knights lance was poised to strike the fatal blow, but the scum
using footwork, stepped to the right of the great knights horse, jumped up and swung, the knight too late saw the peril, HIS LANCE COULD NOT HIT THE PEASANT at such an angle, god has struck his horse dumb and unable to turn, and so the fell peasant cut the  brave knight down. woe the day until jump slash is remove and brave knights everywhere can lance in peace for now hath god truly forsaken his beloved for they can not lance with out the peasant easily killing them from there saddle.

yeah, probably should do that but i just cant walk by dumb ass arguments like he likes to do ;] and he probably will tell you hes a cav so that makes his argument valid

[Dezilagel]

Fairly happy so far, would have liked to see a bigger lance arc tho (80-120 ish?), a horse hp buff to go with the nerfs and maybe some more stat-orientated nerf concerning HA, but we'll see how it'll play out.

Btw, how do spears work from horseback now?

Same as lances. They have the arc nerf to.
