Combat...

[ArrieS]

I have a question about combat.... I just got the game off steam and I started playing it right away with out doing the turor. I got a lance and charged my enemies but I didn't craddle it, I just kept holding it up right... I got a faster horse and the same proble. Than I went back tothe tutorial and it didn't explain anything about that, just hit the dummies...

Can you still craddle a lance in this version, what's wrong?

You have to manually couch the lance now by changing "weapon mode". To do that, push X while moving at a speed fast enough to permit it. The lance will only be couched for 5 seconds or so, so be sure you're close to your target before you push it.

The same button is used to switch between "throwing mode" and "melee mode" for many thrown weapons now as well.

The button is also used to switch Long Axe between Axe and polearm mode.

You can either couch your lance as described above (which I personally find harder, even though I now know some new things to use for my axe. THANKS") or use the left click button on your mouse (right is for your shield) to strike hard with your lance. Reminder: Aim your lance otherwise you will find yourself rather dead

1.104 has added the automatic couching in the game options.
