If you watch the Religion video carefully, you wll see at the end that some knights charge in with lances. The camera then shows the same knights using swords once fully engaged with the enemies.

Wasn't that in RTW?

Re: Kinights secondary weapons are in.
when did they do that in RTW? as far as i knew they only ever used the spears to fight, even when wading through a division of infantry. How did they change to swords?
Re: Kinights secondary weapons are in.
If a unit has a secondary weapon it will sometimes switch to it(sword,axe,knife etc.).You can press "alt" and click on the enemy,you units will charge with secondary weapons.

Re: Kinights secondary weapons are in.
Thanks for the tip, Id seen that with ranged weapons, but ive never had it work with the heavy cavalry. Does it work with say, Generals Bodyguard, or Cataphracts as well?
Miles
Re: Kinights secondary weapons are in.
depends on the cavalry type, some horse unit only gets one primary weapon(mostly spears), for Cataphracts you definitely want them to use the secondary weapon in close combat, because they use mace, which is armor piercing

Re: Kinights secondary weapons are in.
how pray tell is a bludgeoning weapon armour piercing?

Bludgeoning disregards armor. Platemail can keep a sword from cutting you open, but it can't keep a mace from breaking your ribs.

Re: Kinights secondary weapons are in.
Probably because armor becomes less relevant.

Re: Kinights secondary weapons are in.
Wasn't chainmail good against slashing attacks from swords, but horrible against arrows and bludgeoning? Am I totally wrong?
Re: Kinights secondary weapons are in.
yes chainmail were useless against arrows and stab swords like the gladius

Re: Kinights secondary weapons are in.
armor plates also were useless against the power of the back-curle bow and its armor piercing arrowheads, used by the nomadic tribes, such as the tatars, cumans, magyars, pechenegs.

Plate Armor : Good vs Swords, Spears, Bows?
Bad vs Darts, Bludgeoning?
