Stamina?

[Vyllis]

Hello,

I played Mount & Blade for years now (I'm the ex-leader of the French clan EDT). The game needed skills to beat your opponent. No "i win button" or overpowered levels.

But, for my point of view the combats, weren't authentic at all.

Simple example: Swinging crazily a 1 meters long battle-axe and insta-blocking enemies attacks within 1"05 sec.

So my question to the devs is: Will players have stamina? Will they feel the synergy effect of swinging a 2 meters long pike?
Stamina is the thing that will make me buy Chivalry:Battle of Agatha when it will come out. Hopefully the combat will be more balanced, tactical for the light classes and there will be less "spammers".

Sorry for my English.

Someone asked about stamina before but I can't find a direct answer on it for you.

Glad you like it!
The combat mechanics resembles M&B in a lot of ways.
Stamina levels in what way, you mean tha swings and other actions cost stamina from a replenishing stamina bar and if you run out you have to rest for a short while?

Chances are there will be stamina as there are other features such as weapons having their own "health" points. Also this,

The swings take some time to perform, the larger the sword the slower the swing and recovery.

Pas de problème, mon ami.

I'll update the FAQ to add in something about stamina after I know for sure if it will be in game and how it will work.

This is exactly what we already have in Warband, the "unbalanced" trait you see on the big axes. I also believe the 2 handed swords in WFaS have it.
