Anyone know if there is going to be cross cutting implemented in the sabre mechanics? Its a primarily Polish technique, but wouldn’t be too far fetched an inclusion and not too hard to implement I would think. If not anyone know if they are basing their sabre system off any other tradition?

I’m curious if they will have a less formal mode of swordplay. Any inexperienced peasant may not have any knowledge of using a sword except for swinging the blade in a wild manner. If you randomly kill a farmers wife will he attack you with his pitchfork? Will he grab a random sword and start chopping away at you? Or will he enter the formal swordfighting pose and feint and parry??

He would probably become an expert axeman and chop your arms off. XD I think that he would try to perry you I don’t know if they’ve thought of this or not lol.
probably run to the nearest constable or drop to his knees and cower
Sorry, I didn’t mean to hijack your thread. I know that the devs said they were going to allow us to use many different kinds of weapons and styles appropriate for the era. They are even consulting medieval martial arts specialists to make sure it is as realistic and accurate as possible. They are even using MoCap to make sure the animations are appropriate! Hopefully we hear more about the styles they are using. They will have some combat in the tech alpha, but they might even make us wait till release for all the goodies. They are like the good parents who wont let us open our presents till Christmas morning! Haha!
