there were battles where knights dismoutned as you urself say, and they werent that rare. While english archers were decimating the french cavalry, english knights often dismounted to escape similar fate.

Actually this was a tactic used by some countries during the CK era, although perhaps it wasn't wide spread and depended to some degree on the tactics used by the opponent and on the physical location selected for the battle. If the terrain was poor for mounted charges, a noble would wade into battle afoot (surrounded by men at arms and a healthy number of serfs) where his armour would make him more or less invincible unless he was overwhelmed - more or less the modern day tank driving into a line of fusiliers.crazy canuck said:I would be surprised that a Knight would dismount voluntarily. He would be giving up all his advantages and give himself the great disadvantage of bearing all the weight of his armour himself - not to mention reducing himself to the status of a mere footman.
There were battles where knights did fight on foot. But the examples I can think of is where there was no real other choice - eg horses had died - as in the latter part of the third crusade. Or during a siege.

Not to worry though. A few more weeks and you'll be able to find out for yourself.

Well sure...which would, of course, delay the actual release of the game since he'd be reading and typing instead of creating installers and burning master CDs for distribution, but I'm sure no one would complain about that...Marcus Valerius said:Well, if the betas can't answer our questions, perhaps Johan could spare a moment or two out of his busy schedule?![]()

Don't forget that he will deliver them personally from his private jet, or maybe he has rented santa's sled (if being off-season for jolly old nick)
