They were sacking a town. They burned it to the ground.
My knowledge from youtube is challenging your knowledge from youtube!

He even says the arrow flies only 110 yards. Plus, even if it arrives, what damage would it do against soldiers?
As I said, they weren’t used in battles for these reasons.
You know there are threads dedicated to fire arrows…not this one…but ok:joy:

But that’s the wrong thread!
Go on here please:
Lol
Good lucking wounding anyone at or beyond that range unless they’re completely unarmored.

I answer here:
I don’t see any answers, just you ignoring my post where i said that’s from where they were burning Skalice to the ground NOT engaging an enemy army.

I mean if you think about it, logically. If you have a skirmish, 50v50 on a open field then Sure some soldiers would want to ‘flank’ the enemy and end up fighting without a ‘front line’. Just because they march in formation doesnt mean they would always stay in formation.
If you have a battle of 50.000v50.000 the center is kinda forced to stay in formation, because they cant go anywere. Depending on the discipline and orders of the soldiers in the sides they might not always stay in formation.
If the frontline is broken at some point a then you need to reform your formations and line. Those orders barely reach the soldiers who are fighting in the brawl.
Would a fight end up like on a tv show where the lines have completely broken and both armies have merged together? Depends on the commanders, discipline of soldiers, duration of battle, pushes made by either party. But most likely not, also depend on which timeframe we are looking at, romans would consider the line lost and send the reserves forward to push the enemies back and regain ground. Perhaps medieval armies did fight like that.
How does this relate to KCD? Most likely we have small skirmishes with AI made for one on one perhaps two on one combat. Your not going to get a neat line as with, for example a roman legion. The fighting style is different between a medieval force and the roman meat grinder.
The difference is that other people point out things in the game that aren’t historical, while you make threads about things historically inaccurate things that are clearly not in game. Your fire arrows thread used and old video of KCD that had no fire arrows in it as the only proof of fire arrows in KCD. This present thread uses a video which very clearly shows two things: a small skirmish (in which strict line formation would not necessarily be adhered to) and, importantly, the military side stays in formation the whole time, while the bandits/Cumans sometimes flank.
I don’t know that anyone is saying that you are wrong about fire arrows not being used in battle or line formations being maintained in large battles - everyone is saying that these are not issues present in any of the game footage you’ve provided. I could start a thread with the video on lockpicking and say “cars were not present in this time period!!”, but that would be idiotic because the video shows no evidence of cars being in the game.

Jaakari:
Other thread for fire arrows please. There were fire arrows at 0:20 in the video. You can clearly see the tip of the arrow burning:
I see what you mean…but I don’t know if they are arrow trails…or fire arrows
I’m unconvinced that this shows fire arrows - the old arrow style had a ‘tracer’ effect which has been removed, as you can see in newer videos. At least now I can see what you were talking about, so I will certainly concede that point (I honestly couldn’t see anything in there that looked like fire arrows before), though it appears to me to be the old tracer effect.

@Flarius here still keeps ignoring that fire arrows in this video are not used against an enemy but to burn down Skalice (town) as @SirWarriant mentioned several times.

I’m not ignoring it. I’m just not commenting on it. That’s a difference.
