M&B F&S has update for Pike - 2 types of thrusting!!!

[CrimsonPigII]

First post - I know this info isnt not part of CRPG but F&S are getting 2 types of thrust from a pike!

Could this mean a possible mod to allow this for CRPG??

Could it be

1) Normal underhand thrust (as normal)
2) Chest height thrust OR
3) Couch position

Doesn't hurt, besides if they could be useful to stab over fences/low walls. A bit stupid that a fence is the best defence against a pike, while 2h and 1h can easily poke over them. Would like to see the animations first, tough.

ZOMG! From the steam update list!

Damage type of Ranged Weapons is now determined by the type of ammunition rather than the weapon itself. Basic arrows for bows do cutting damage but it is possible to buy more advanced ones with piercing damage.

THIS! Makes so much sense and I would love having it!

EDIT: I am reading the changelog and I'm loving this more and more All the WFaS haters can go home now. As I said, just give it some time to fix stuff and change some design mistakes and it will all be good. Wasn't like Warband was perfect at release either!

You can no longer kick during tavern fights.

NOOOOOOOOOO! The only thing I don't like with this patch  . Although it does make sense...

horses can not be looted

Lol. I was always wondering why I never got any horses xD

i would like to see that bows influence only shoot speed, arrows would be main dammage determiners , ad1257 mod has done like that

interesting. I'm also curious about that crouching.

Probably gonna be like in Mount and Musket or Vikingr mod. Still very useful, especially for musketmen. Dunno how useful it will be here, but ambushes are always nice! Just, please let us be able to move, even if it makes us stand up. Being rooted in place is just stupid.

Crouching in WFaS is a great feature, it means you can actually make use of low cover like fences and small walls. It seems to let you reload slightly faster too, any movement makes you stand up immediately and if used in the open you are a much smaller target.

The pike mechanics are just plain awesome. The overhead goes right for the face and can only be blocked by an upwards block. It would be great for replacing the terrible overhead we have now. It would also be fantastic for spears!

The couching works pretty well too. You can turn in any direction, though if you turn too fast your pike isn't set. Takes about a second to set it again. If you move in any direction you immediately stand up. Also, you can still thrust when in the couched position. So after you get the horse on it's initial charge you can keep on thrusting.

It's also cool in that you can make multiple lines of pikemen. The couched group in front and a standing group in back doing the overhead thrust. We need this in CRPG!

The spears in WFaS do not have the overhead stab?
EDIT: Oh, seen a video. It's a overhead stab, holding the pike in the middle with 2 hands, thrusting. Can't you edit it a little for a one hand overhead stab, using a shield?

[Kafein]

I already see how 2 pikemen can take out anyone by just having a different thrust ready 

[Jarlek]

Seriously we need this NOW! Gonna go play WFaS now and see all the new changes!
