After CA reacted to the vocal minority and added in decapitation animations for the slightest poke to the head I have been trying to find a way to put it back to a pre-hotfix level of decaps (not constantly of course. I have slept, eaten, lived etc. but it still irritated the crapolla out of me).
So here, at last, is the solution.
I have not tested it extensively, but after a handful of custom battles there are no more decapitations from spears but there are from heavy sword swings etc. In short - just like Rome 2.
There shouldn't be any bugs but if there are I will update the file.
This only affects animations and not blood etc.
It should be compatible with all other mods.
