TL;DR Choose the two options that  matches your view in most cases(not B0nk skullcrusher smash to head, but the average ingame death)

Long description
I'm curious on what you think being reduced to 0 hp means. My own view is that: being reduced to 0hp(death) is equal to being defeated for the remainder of the round.
On EU1/EU2 Siege: Injury that stops you from being able to participate for at least 7 min.
On Conquest maps: it's the identical reasoning but round time limit(15-45min) instead of 7 min

My choice: 3&4


Edit: Fixed topic title, many of the early posts are correctly befuddled by my lack of proofreading before posting pointing out my poor topic title typing skills

He's trying to ask what dying in the game actually is.

I don't know why, dying is dying.

When a pokemon goes to 0hp is it dead?

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

Sorry I'm still trying to figure out what "How physically damage is 0hp?" even means.

The reasoning behind this topis is to get a feel for what you see as "dying" in this mod.

There's a huge difference between utterly destroyed body(last poll option) and the mid options... merely incapacitated.

IF... this becomes a representation of what people see as 0hp/character death then this will be a valuable resource to use to balance weapon damage & armour values around.

***NOTE: The following example only mentions weapon damage, not armour values and all other game mechanics that affect lethality***
If I was an item balancer with focus on balancing gameplay around community expectations on lethality then...
..if the last option would get a majority I would increase damage difference between heavy weapons(bardiche, Great maul) and puny weapons (daggers etc.)

...if the mid options got the biggest majority I would decrease damage difference slightly.

3 & 4 make the most sense because in Native, you can take prisoners of war if they were defeated by a blunt weapon (3) and sometimes even heal people that were attacked by cut weapons and lost consciousness (4) when you have a troop member with high healing skill. So they are not dead yet.

0hp character death physically means virtually surfing the internet.


IF... this becomes a representation of what people see as 0hp/character death then this will be a valuable resource to use to balance weapon damage & armour values around.
