Game mechanic megathread!

[Werfried]

Ok, thanks! I knew the calculator, but never noticed the wpf calculation.

Movement speed
Movement speed depends on agility, athletics and weight.

- Moving backwards reduces movement speed by roughly 34%
- Rain reduces movement speed by roughly 7.8%
- Blocking reduces movement speed by roughly 15%

i dont buy the backing up one of 34 percent

[Banok]

hey any mechanics on movespeed bonus damage?

am I right in thinking that thrusts benifit more from it than swings?

I'm wondering if with a 1h, 30 thrust damage is alot more than 30 swing.

No idea on exact mechanics. Most likely I believe the animations on stabs are just better for speed bonuses, ie straight forward.

You get a bigger speed bonus, yeah. Although this works both ways (omfg, no damage! D:). Try play a bit of SP and take note of the speed bonus messages.

Very useful thread, cheers.

Quote from Thread main post:

Effective WPF
There are three possible factors reducing your wpf from what is listed on the character sheet. First reduce your wpf by 13 for each point of power throw, then reduce your wpf by 14 for each point of power draw and then remove 1% of remaining wpf for each point of effective weight. For effective weight, see armor weight chapter above.

The same mathematically:
(wpf - 13*pt - 14*pd) * (1 - effective weight / 100)


Does this mean that my 2H WPF be affected (reduced), if I spend points in power throw? Or does power throw only reduce the throwing wpf?

They only reduce their corresponding wpf (archery for PD and throwing for PT), as far as I know.

Wouldn't make sense otherwise...

Question about gravity.

Does it affect throwing / archery damage?

e.g. if I'm throwing at someone below me, will it do more damage than when i throw at someone above me?

Yes

Hi . Im new to CRPG . Archery questions :

1- can you have 2x bondkin arrows ( i cant buy the second one for some reason)
2- is WPF formula for +speed is 10points fof +1 wep speed?
3 - what is a "reasonable" max armor  weight for an archer 6? 10?
4 - wich bow is most acurate / wich arrows are most acurate
5- how does bodkin "pierce dmg" is calculated vs armor , compare to tatar "cut" dmg .

1. Just buy one set. You can equip it twice in game.
2. No. There's no clear formula, just approximations. See the first post and links in it
3. I can't remember the changes to the formula introduced a few months ago, but it depends heavily on what slots the weight is in. If you have a heavy helmet or heavy gloves you will need to take a lower total weight. Something like 10 is probably fine - the wpf loss is fairly minimal for going slightly over the cap anyway.
4. Arrows don't matter. I'm not sure which bow is the most accurate after the Power Draw wpf reductions, but I'm pretty sure they're all pretty close to equivalent AT CORRECT LEVELS OF PD.
5. See first post for exact formula or use one of the calculators to experiment. The exact level of armor on enemies when bodkins become better depends completely on your character stats and the bow you use (and technically speed bonuses, but those are generally not taken into account in theorycrafting)

4 - wich bow is most acurate

Each damage point decreases the accuracy by 1.

Short Bow    96 - 16  = 80
Bow             96 - 18  = 78
Nomad Bow 96 - 20  = 76
Tatar Bow    97 - 22  = 75
Horn Bow    97 - 24   = 73
Yumi            100 - 26 = 74
Rus Bow      100 - 28 = 72
Long Bow    101 - 31 = 70

So the short bow has the best accuracy and the long bow the worst accuracy.

Does +dmg increase on masterwork bows; costs aditional acuracy lost?;/

Does +dmg increase on masterwork bows; costs aditional acuracy lost?;/

Yes of course.
Loomed bows are a bit less accurate than unloomed ones.
A masterwork bow normaly should get +3 accuracy because of the 3 additional damage points, but it just gets 2 accuacy points.
