Zweihanders

Cav are bugged? how's that?

No, not cavalry, just billmen are bugged. Seems I wasn't specific enough.

I'm wondering what 2nd patch witll bring. I doubt that balance issues will be addressed. It would be ok for me if at least critical buggs and exploits would be fixed.

aint nothing wrong with two handers they can even do a good job of taking horses down.

yes there is, they have an awful kill rate that doesnt translate the stats to the gameplay, some say its an animation bug, they have a nice charge, but after that its over. test yourself, sword and shield vs armor piercing 2 handers, the 1 handed swords will decimate them every time

pretty cool, but one of your pavise xbows has only 2 kills, but i cant judge the unit based on that...i havnt played much of m2tw MP as of yet, but i noticed a weakness of 2 handers vs other inf in my first games. i went to check in many tests, only to have my initial reactions confirmed. i came here and saw people saying it was animations and should be fixed next patch...which coulda saved me a 100 tests

Zhanders and units with 2 handed axe and poleaxe/halberd have a great charge, which i'm sure that 100 kill unit did alot of, but that is stated in the stats, what doesnt translater is the 17+ attack that many 2 handers have, after a charge against other infantry they just sink like rocks, without doing very much of anything to other infantry, after the charge

i suspect mailed knights are a better use of 680 florin, or dismounted imperial or feudal knights for cheaper and with more flexibility

germany has an embarrassment of riches, mounted or dismounted imperial knights are awsome for the price and can fill out even a late period army, but i suspect if they get this fixed in a patch, germany will become very fotm

Aye that's because 2handers are shock units. They are used for the charge, not for the fight afterwards. You try swinging around a 1,5 m (5 foot) sword when you have your friends no more then 1 meters away from you.

HRE is pretty good, but you need to use the units wisely ... I can't do that, which makes sure I suck with them, but others can ... and I lost more then once to them.
