I understand the shield bug but what is up with the two handed bug? I tried searching but the search options suck here and it was more hard than it should have been.
What exactly is this two handed bug?

Work, Girlfriend, Responsibilities, Reality, Kids, and MTW - all things in life make life worth living.
Edit October 17th, 2007
Work-Still hate it but I appreciate having it more now.
Girlfriend - ? - looks like I am helping Nga now. Miss sex though.
Responsibilities, Too many bills to too little money
Reality - (Censored)
Kids - My son is improving a little bit each day, still far behind but I may have more kids in the future.
MTW - Kingdoms installed but...Urggg, too soon.
----------------
Conclusion, Life is worth Living now.
Re: What exactly is this two handed bug?
Units with the "2H Axe" animation, which includes bill and pollaxe users, cannot attack cavalry in a standing melee.
Furthermore their attack animation is very slow, which forces them to parry incessantly over the course of a battle.
Spearwall polearm, Eastern halberd and 2H sword units do not have this problem.
Re: What exactly is this two handed bug?
To give an example (which is by no means perfect) from my own experiences:
Step 1: Send 4 units of Varangian Guard against a rebel town (fighting militiamen)
Step 2: Climb to top of walls. Take 10% casualties in approach
Step 3: Watch the varangians get not one kill as they are slaughtered
From wise men, O Lord, protect us -anon
The death of one man is a tragedy; the death of millions, a statistic -Stalin
We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area -UK military spokesman Major Mike Shearer

Ghazi? Don't they have only one axe? Or do you mean the other-jihad-unit-who-cannot-be-spelled?
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
Re: What exactly is this two handed bug?
So those useless and overrated Transylvanian peasants with halberds are not affected then? Trust it to be the only ineffectual 2H unit to not be affected.Originally Posted by Lusted
Re: What exactly is this two handed bug?
I find it Ironic that 5 of those on the list are from England. Also can Scots recruit Gallogiach? Cause in my last campaign as them (Highlanders rule!) I only had Highland nobles as my main base of infrantry and never saw the Gallogiach as anything but Mercs.
