well i actually fought quite a lot. i used to have big 2 handed sword by the end of my career, and previously i had tower shield + short sword. everything wood.
but i i very lazy person and my handskills suck so the only thing i did at least partly as myself was that 2handed sword.
i liked that tower shield a lot, it covers pretty much 80% of body, despite its being rather heavy.
though im not superior warrior and i know like 1-2 standard "figures" how to work with sword, but nothing more. well i didnt tried to much improve anyway cause lots of my opponents had dural or textolite weapons, which is,, well, not much humanistic anyway
but the most funny thing that if you experienced warrior you have a psychological edge and can "charge" enemy and it works perfectly, especially with "weak moral" guys. really LS check. (well i guess its not very pacific view when guy with 2 handed sword charges on you, but still)
and nice thing if you experienced you can manage battle a little and send troops here and some here, etc (i wasn't such a guy but i've seen several examples of "commanders"; that helps)
we mainly fought with 2 groups ~10 vs 10 or les usually. with 1 hp, which applied if you received any hit higher knee or elbow. if you being hit to the head, then that guy stated as "dead", i.e. all hits to head were prohibited.
so it was not wild fight and i dont consider it as any good battle experience. maybe as peasant training or something!
lol. that would be funny if you'd played while tsunami and winning DO tourney. type in chat soemthing like "wait 2 min pls i need to save my kitty from hurricane; brb" and other stuff
that army i enjoyed the most. well Empire always have a superior range weapons of death. all tactic was about treeman, and since its placed i had to adjust army around him, cause he costs a lot. what do you guys think? maybe we need to increase treeman back to 3 points? i reembered a wide debates back to times when treeman costed 3 points, and we were considering make him cost 0 points. but conquest changed our opinion there..
