How to deal with 2h?

[[ptx]]

Back in medieval times, only best knights deserve 2H sword - true elite 

So, you wouldn't have a 2h sword if this game were more realistic?

So if you have 100 knights. maybe 5 of them deserve 2H sword (those who were close to the king or something). Why? Because it is expensive sword to make and you need extra training lesions for it.
It is long and perfectly balanced deadly medieval weapon, and you can do so much more things than with 1h sword, polearm, spears and so and so.
Simply it is the best medieval weapon you can get.

Never understand why so much crying here about best medieval weapon. Status of 2H swords is nerfed right now. They can make much more damage and they are much more longer in real life than in cRPG.
All others weapons in cRPG are buffed so they can be equal to 2H swords.
For example: IRL if you go with spear on 2H sword, knight will easy cut wooden spear in peaces and kill you. But, this is a game .... yea right. Just stop QQ about 2H swords.

In cRPG 30 of 100 players are using 2h swords. So they shouldn't be too overpowered. Besides, I do not agree with the part where greatswords are the strongest weapons melee weapons. A greatsword is basically very heavy and long, it has it's obvious weaknesses. In cRPG and Warband too bad we don't have a stamina system.

Whats there really to understand? Like you said it is the best medieval weapon. And when it is the best medieval weapon in the medieval game, than whats the fucking point of playing with anything else besides the best medieval weapon? And that is why it is nerfed to a equal playin level with other weapons. So there is a point of using something else besides 2h. Was that really so hard to figure out by yourself?

Wow, I knew you were an idiot, but, damn... that was a bit... more than expected...

Read the full post and do not just pull things out of context.

This part refers to the balance of the game. But I guess you're just too stupid to get it all.

My very point was that even your fucking real life example was complete bullshit. But I guess you're just too stupid to get it all.

But really Sagar, 2h wasnt the "best" weapon in medieval times. That's just a fucking retarded and uneducated statement. I guess you knew this from watching medieval action movies?

[Grumpy_Nic]

you need to find the weakness of a 2hander. He got no shield. Shoot him.

Fucking Mel Gibson movies.

My suggestion would be to find yourself a ranged friend and stick with him shielding them until they shoot dead the 2h. 2h are good but only in melee, never forget that a shield is to block so keep blocking till help comes

[Sagar]

Mel Gibson told me that 

Needs to think outside the box. Medieval knight - if he was a skilled 2H swordsman, he also always carry a shield and 1H weapon.

It's hard to argue with someone who knows so little about medieval life, weapons and warfare. Much of this can be found in the books, and if you have the opportunity to type into a Medieval Swordsmanship Club - in practice, many things will be clearer.

LEFT STRIKES ALL THE WAY, that is all.

anyone have any suggestions on how to fight a 2h person?

Go on the forum and lobby.

I bitched slightly about 2h being OP back in the day. My main concern was the stupid lolstab, which is sorta fixed now. Now ive played a good ammount with polearms, 1hs, 2hs and I kinda feel that they all seem rather balanced. After that one big patch not so long ago that buffed 1h I must say im having lots of fun with everything.

[Macropus]

Yeah everything is pretty balanced now.

Except fucking OP str-whores!
