However, having your character gain levels, increase strength, and increase weapon skills does help ease the pain.ĭitchinit: It depends on two things relative weapon speed differences (i.e., their weapons may be faster), and how relatively new you are to the combat system. but that isn't always an option when caught flat-footed in an in-town ambush.
I much prefer archery and mounted combat (where I can run away like brave, brave Sir Robin). I do alright against a single foe, but against multiples I tend to lose (as realistically should be the case). That said, I've logged a couple hundred hours into Warband, and I freely admit that I suck at foot-soldier melee combat. your character is weak and undeveloped, and so are you (the player). There is a significant learning curve to melee combat system in M&B, and if you're just starting then you have a double whammy in effect. Is this just a case of high level ai cheating or is this a legit bug? It depends on two things relative weapon speed differences (i.e., their weapons may be faster), and how relatively new you are to the combat system.
Settings: Combat AI: Good, Campaign AI: Good. Calastor: So when I get into tournaments /Arena, the enemies can attack me with a sword up to 5 times in around 2 seconds and just perma stunlock me.
