-good maneuver horses can evage ranged attacks at mid-range
this is true, however, this is only temporary, and once multiple archers arrive its basically over.
-good lance cav can couch you in 2sec, and thrust two consecutive times in 3sec.
couch needs a decent runup, also high speed horses cant thrust twice that fast.
-good maneuver horses stay maximum 2sec "stunned" when they run into a wall, or a pike. They're out of reach in a bit more than 2 attacks.
unless using an armored horse (ok maybe destrier) most horses die from 2 solid hits
-slow horses can bump you twice, while staying on you.
true, should be fixed
-all horses can jump over your pike, taking you by surprise, and you sometimes not having the time to reach in the air. Pretty usefull to reach that archer behind the pikeman.
if this is true, you are doing a TERRIBLE job as a pikeman, no offense, but seriously, go practice
-if you jump off a cliff 3km high on your horse, your horse will die but you will just be on the ground 2sec, with no damage.
not true, took my horse on a tower during a siege once and jumped down, i also died
-horsemen can protect their horses from some melee hits by blocking the right direction.
this is true, this also annoys me (im a lancer), even when i aim at the horses legs i get blocked, this should be lowered.
-when your horse dies, you'll fall, sometimes slide on a few meters, or even teleport bug to a different place that where people think you are, and switch weapon/bring a shield while being smashed on the ground. Don't ask me how you do that, i'm still trying to figure it out.
this is a bug, should be fixed.
-when a pikeman stops your horse, you can actually still stab him, sometimes killing him. Works with a 1hander slash too, providing good timing/luck.
thats just the way it goes, if you go for the horse, there is a chance the rider can get you.
-when succesfully killing a horseman charging you, without hurting the horse, the horse still bumps you, and can even kill you. When that happens, it counts as if it's the player that killed you, and not a random horse.
lol, you got trampled by a horse, sucks
-you can chamber lances with a good overhead or thrust with a good timing, but you'll always be out of range anyway if the cav is not too bad. So just downblock for the same effect, less dangerous.
depends on the cav, if its slow you can get it witht eh chamber, fast ones are hard. practice chambering to do it as early as possible.
-you succesfully slaughter an horse, thrust once the fallen rider (no pun intended), to see finally Torb... the rider (now footman) walk up with a poleaxe or whatever,
so?
