The Hedge Knights Thoughts On Game Mechanics and Multiplayer *warning lots of stats*

[Sasori]

Welcome back dude

Just a note that some of the evaluations of the bonuses don't really make much sense. For example, several bow units have "advanced marksmanship" and "marksmanship" bonuses. You say level 1 "advanced marksmanship" is good but level 2 is not, even the stagnated bonus is exactly the same, as to acquire "advanced marksmanship" you have to have completed the first two stages of "marksmanship".
This means this bonus works out at, for example; marksmanship level 1 - +10; marksmanship level 2 - +20; advanced marksmanship level 1 - +25; advanced marksmanship level 2 - +30.
As you can see, the gains from the first two +10 non clan skill upgrades is a much greater hike than the last two additional +5 bonuses.

Hello The Hedge Knight. Thanks for let us know these factors. I would like to ask you about new big patch and this information about mechanics. Will you try to update them or these one which will be changed?

[Abu of Agrabah]

Same question here, can you upload the new changes after the patch?

You can charge spears without problems (mostly). So difficult to deal with these without matchlocks, or a good katana cav

[PROMETHEUS ts]

because in the description says "when attacked" not to attack or is a small detail?

[Arilon]

It works fine, but you will take (reduced) losses.
E.g. You can defeat yari ashigaru w/o probs,
but yari sam or long yaris (esp vets) are a different story.
Very helpful against yari or nagi cav too!
Hit and run is the best Way to use it IMO.

[spicykorean]

I wouldn't recommend doing a frontal charge against a yari ashigaru spearwall.

well if the bonus from anticav is skipped then even charging a frontline of spearmen shoudln't do anything right? how can be tested that in the custom battles I don't think I can select my own army or I can?

Anyway in the descritption I have wich is in Italian localization the translation may be a bit wrong so how does it says in English , in Italian says cavalry bonus is skipped when the avatar is attaked by spears ...

custom battles you can pick any units for all sides. There is a Avatar ignores spears that when your avatar engages into spears, the "bonus vs cavalry" is ignored.

Of course it does something.
The vs cav bonus is added to the attack value when fighting horses, so the total attack value is (attack+cavbonus).
If the vs cav bonus is taken away, the normal attack value is still left to cause damage.

Do the original stats back in 2011 need updating?
