:rofl:Can anybody give me some tips for archery plzz i allways gott owned by people with axes and schields?? XD
This is in multiplayer I presume? Then mobility is the #1 thing to remember. You can't shoot many arrows before being noticed, and if you stay still you may likely be shot by another archer or caught up by a enemy soldier. To be mobile you should always keep an eye on your surroundings. Easiest way is to do something like this:
Step 1: Find a good position, the higher ground the better... You should also choose a spot that gives you at least one flight way, if you're caught by the enemy.
Step 2: Locate enemy and fire
Step 3: Move! Not far, but at least a but. If you see him, then he most likely sees you! And if he has a friend with a bow you can count on that arrows will start raining down upon you. So be mobile!
Step 4: See step 3
Step 5: Find a new position, or make sure that you're not flanked or spotted. You should actually always keep an eye on your back, shooting, turning, reloading, shooting, turning... You get the point
------------------------
If caught, then you'll have to either fight or flee. If you've got friends nearby run to them and get the advantage of being more then the enemy. If you can't find any friends, or can't reach them then you simply have to fight. Depending on what faction you're playing you'll have a shield or no shield. Vaegirs and Sarranids often only have swords. Try to block or chamber block the enemy. Always be mobile. The longer the fight last the bigger the chance of getting help. Khergits, Swadians and Rhodoks have shields, that way will you be able to defend more easily. As always, be mobile and when your shield breaks (it will, I promise) try to block or chamber block. The Nords are my personal favourites, as their archers got a two handed axe. This way you will be able to be a bit offensive, or more likely that you should be more offensive. As always, be mobile!
I'm not saying that you should always be defensive, you should always try to kill the enemy. But a player with routine knows that he has the upper advantage as he got a good shield, a sharp blade and the experience to kill you whenever he wants. The best alternative is thus being defensive...
