Heavy Cavalry melee vs Light Cavalry and Lancers

Post by Jean Lafitte »

Does SOWWL give a melee advantage to Heavy Cav in melee against enemy Light Cav?

I think it should. If you had no armor at all and you were sword -fighting against a chap with an armored helmet and armored breastplate, don't you think he'd have an advantage?

The bonus\malus in term of equipments has been used as calculation factors in the skills determination of OOBs.

I apologize. My English is apparently not good enough to understand your post. Could you clarify, please?

What? A Frenchman can't understand an Italian's English? :P Americans have similar but worse issues of understanding, same language, but Northerners and Southerners have vast communication struggles.

I think what Davide is referring to is the unitattributes file and how it weighs on class in the unitmodel and unitglobal files. When the SDK is released and folks are able to peruse all the files and see how everything ties together and interrelates then many of the communication barriers such as this will be broken down.

Then you can see the files and either change them for your personal preferences or lobby to have them fixed by us as we strive to make the game as realistic and historic as possible.
