Does anyone know the HA malus formula? I couldn't find it in the first post.

[chaosegg]

?is this information is still accurate / up-to-date?

[korppis]

Yes everything in the op is still accurate.

[Moncho]

I do not think so, I think that the throwing malus for one was reduced some patches ago, to 11 iirc. let me search:

Edit 3: WPF per PT requirement reduced from 13 to 11. Putting wpf into any melee type will grant bonus wpf to the other melee proficiencies.
(from http://forum.melee.org/general-discussion/wpp-sum-and-cost-formula-rework(includes-wm)/msg891170/#msg891170)

WPF per PD formula: final WPF = (WPF - max((14(PD) - (1.5^PD), 0))

Very very old response, but

damage * (0.8+ (HA*0.019))

Anyone have the required experience graph? Trying to update the crpg calculator.

Could someone explain how body armour for sheilds works please? does it add to your body armour when you get hit by something? or when you have it on your back of something? thanks

[CrazyCracka420]

Shield body armor is basically the native "Resistance" attribute. The hit points are the native "shield durability" attributes.  See below for descriptions:  http://mountandblade.wikia.com/wiki/Shields

Shield Durability: (in c-rpg, this is Hit Points) This is the "health" of the shield; it determines how much damage it can take before it breaks. If it runs out, the shield will be dropped and can no longer be used for the remainder of the battle.

Resistance: (in c-rpg, this is the shield's body armor) This is the damage subtracted from every hit the shield takes (The shield's armor). For example, a 0 Resistance shield hit by a blade will take 20 damage, which will drain its Durability; instead, a 10 Resistance shield hit by the same blade will take only 10 damage (20 minus 10). Resistance also factors against a successful Guard Crush. This parameter can be quite important for a shield. Certain weapons, mainly axes and axe-like weapons, ignore this value when dealing damage. Ranged weapons with sufficient damage and missile speed can penetrate shields that have a low resistance. This damage is always reduced, however a hard enough hitting attack will interrupt your block. Shields appear to take an absolute minimum of 1 point of damage per hit while held regardless of how high its resistance, how high the shield skill of the wielder is or how weak the enemy's weapon is.

Thank you!

That actually doesn't mention how a shield on your back works at all. Just how it works while you hold it.

Basically: any RANGED (arrow, bolt, throwing and I assume ballista) hit to your back when you have a shield there, means you gain the shields resistance and another 10 to your armour rating.

So say you got a 15 resistance shield and 50 body armour. When you get hit by a ranged to your back you have 50+10+15 (normal armour+10+shields resistance.

I didn't know that (specifically).  I knew it helped lower the damage, but didn't realize it was so great

As 2h cav, taking the hide covered round shield with you when you're riding is really great, as any ranged hits to your back gives you an additional 31 body armour.

This is also why I always put my shield on back on my 1h&shieldcav when I ride away from enemy ranged and got no enemies to my front.

As this is game mechanic thread, question:-

I have had multi in strat before and it was good. Recently I haven't had mutliplyer in strat. How does it work? (I undertsand how it works on non-strat)

[Jarlek]

You don't have multipliers on strat

[Ujio]

Does agility affect movement speed and attack speed?
