Let me comment on your suggestion shopping list a bit:
- Give 0 skill heraldic shield
What for?
- Give polethrust to all Great Swords
Definitely no. This is the most butthurt-based idea I've seen up to date. Reducing the animation's speed slightly, or the damage is acceptable though.
- Nerf a bit the longsword
I agree. Nerf the speed by -1 and damage by -1 as well. (I've been using it for quite a long time, and I feel those are near the appropiate fixes)
- Increase the bounce chance of hoplites/lspear users, if they try to hug thrust
Not necessary. It is already difficult to thrust opponents in close range after the turn rate nerf.
- Nerf HX
Make reloading on horse impossible when at high speeds, or a penalty to accuracy even further.
- Add new armours in the mod
Can't disagree to that.
- Buff the couch damage, it`s really funny that archers need 2 couch hits to die
Yes, I agree. Couch damage should be buffed slightly.
- Fix the 360 block radius
Indiferent
- Fix bump slash
Indiferent
- Remove the ability to move a lance if on couch mode
Instead of remove it, leave it as it is with a penalty to speed (It should take several seconds to do so)
- Increase the body armour of plate armours, make them feel like real plates, and also increase their weight and upkeep
Plates are fine as they are already. A slight increase in protection sacrificng some weight seems reasonable though.
- Remove the hit soak from dead horses, endless times I couldnt kill a horseman because of this
Good idea. Sometimes dead horses still have hitboxes allowing the enemy who fell not to get hit. This ought to be fixed.
