I've seen a couple people mention that athletics needs a slight buff regarding acceleration.  The slowdown over certain types of terrain is excessive and reduces high athletics to the same speed as everyone else.  I do think this is silly and would like to +1 to increased acceleration and/or less slowdown over adverse terrain for athletics.

Couching, buff. Increase length of jousting lance to 290 so that pokes don't out range it in a head on charge (SO STUPID!).

Poke-lancing is actually stupid and unrealistic the way it is in Warband.  Medieval cavalry was dominated by 1h and couched lances because one handed poking lances didn't packed enough impact (that's why people developped couched lances in the first place).

depends on what you call mediaval, and how much power it takes to "pack enough impact". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsSS5D7GCCM

if I get one-"shotted" as an e.g. archer in gambeson by a cavalry man poking me with light lance in full speed, that's not stupid.

but you're right that the way it "works" in warband is very unrealistic, simply because your lance is not stuck once you "poke" someone hard enough with it.  as far as I know the goal in the "classic" joustiong tournaments was to bust your lance on the opponents shield. doesn't that tell us something about the durability of a medieval lance?

I think there are some things that could be adjusted here or there but is the goal balance or realism (or a mix)? Because There are some very unrealistic things which are 'overpowered' but may not be overpowered in a balance sense....For example after playing archer for a while (not even a high wpf one either) I find it to be too accurate. No RL archers were that accurate at such range and especially considering the bows that were used back then. Also archers being able to penetrate plate armor is ridiculous even with a long bow. Course there are overpowered things in melee. Like swinging what logically would and should be 'unbalanced' weapons at ridiculous speeds. Like swords being able to damage plate armor wearers, etc etc. Unfortunately I think many players are too set in their ways to adapt to a dramatic reworking of weapon effectiveness and downsides so......
