Faction Heir: *points at signature*

Actually I did download your 2H animations before posting this, I just wanted to be sure before implementing them. Will try out tonight and report back.



Maybe the Varangians armor helps them get through without taking a bad hit so that they get swings in.

Yep, you got that right, with their armor/defence ratings boosted up, they perform as expected as long as on the defensive.

Still I have to comment that it is truly a sad state of affair, if a company is incapable of patching a problem that was reported when the game was orignally launched, that too after 3 patches till date.

It just confirms that my approach is right: buy TW games at least a year or more after release, once they enter the bargain bin. I mean 10$ is exactly what the game is worth at vanilla. I will probably buy Kingdoms then next year after the christmas rush is over, and they are looking to clear out the shelves for new releases.
