You've really got into the game :D Great!
Thanks for your comments. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the game as well.
I'd need to implement a more sophisticated betting scheme for that since player's chance of winning is normally higher than 50%.I'd like to be able to place larger bets though, especially considering the prices of equipment.
Hey! It is nice to see people enjoying such things. There's one little touch that no player has ever discovered (or mentioned) yet. I'm waiting to see who will discover that one.I like the little touches, like the crossbow reloading, and not being able to do it on horseback. It's still useful for charging into battle though.
Good point. Combat with lances is really difficult to model properly. One of our beta testers had a suggestion which could fix this problem. I hope it will be solved in the future versions.There is a balance problem where someone walking backwards with a lance and shield is practically invincible as the lance will keep the enemies back and hurt them all the while. A bit of a problem in the tournaments and battlefields.
Permanant corpses is a new addition to the game, and I haven't been able to adequately test it yet. His foot gets caught in the stirrup but I guess I have forgotten to make sure the horse stops before it vanishes.I did notice a bug where a rider will be carried along with the horse when he is knocked off. At first it looked really good, as if he was dead and caught in the stirrups, but the horse walked right on and the body floats very slowly, sometimes through the tournament walls, for instance. It can also still float along when there is no horse any more.
There is a quest you can get from a count where he asks you to capture and bring enemy prisoners. Other than that there isn't much to do with them just yet.Is there anything to do with the prisoners, other than selling them to the slaver?
Thanks for your comments. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the game as well.
