Ozinator Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 To add onto the discussion of historical accuracy... Mount & Blade and M&B Warband has a great mod called "Brytenwalda" which is a great attempt at the near post Roman rule era in Britain. That game is heavily about mounted combat and that mod removed the lance....but not the spear! Spears came right after the invention of throwing a rock and hitting someone with a stick. So yeah, if lances are against the flavor of a semi-Ancient Rome world in Skyrim, spears could still be used-mounted or otherwise Speaking of M&B, I'd love to not only see the mounted combat from it but ALL combat from it make into a production like Skyrim! The best combat ever invented for a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etang2 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Correct, spears date back to almost prehistoric times, infact, there have been reports of native aboriginal people using primitive hallowed out tubes as launchers. Back on track, I would love to see implemented spears in the game, there is spears in some mods, but they use the great sword animation and I love the jab-and-draw stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etang2 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 And lances are any thing but against the semi-roman theme, Rome is a product of Macedonian construct and their primary cavalry unit was the Prezhetaroi and the Hetaroi, both mounted and both lance weilding heavy cavalry, we could even see mounted gun work as the use of fire arms was prevelent coming from YTurkey into ROme around the 1400s but I thinnk that may push the point a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etang2 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Also @Everex, on a note about the aiming, traditionally, horse archers would use a method where they would grip with their legs and sprint with the horse, this required a very good relationship between the archer and mount, then they would wait untill the horse was sprinting. There is a moment in a horses gallop where the horse is completely air borne as none of its legs are touching the ground, it is short but a talented archer can feel it, in game translation, a perk that slows time down whilst that moment occurs so that you can fire, I think people will get really good at it as time goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozinator Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 This mod is under developed, and which somewhat similar to Mount&Blade game. there really is no need to ever do anything different to what M&B has done with combat....all the die rolls removed too... pure working beauty.

NamesAreUseless Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Just to let you all know, rongphale is now a part of MERP (since it wouldn't be LOTR without mounted combat!) and he has the full support of our team :) I will pinpoint him to this thread for some of the good ideas I've seen here.
