Chronicles: Medieval combat

Published so farOpen the Early Access page

The studio has not published the full move list for Master. Weapon roles that are named: the spear dominates in open ground, the mace comes into its own against heavy armour, and the longsword is the versatile choice. Weapon choice also changes between assaulting and defending a siege, but the combat diary does not publish a siege-battle feature list. Polearms are treated as a backbone weapon, not a sidearm, because medieval armies relied on them. The bill on the English Household tree is the named polearm example.

The questions post and the combat essay name the roles below, and they leave the full weapon roster unpublished. Arrow trails, which belong to the ranged side of the same battles, can be disabled in settings. A duel screenshot from Steam is the picture for this page because the combat layer is that near camera, not the map of the whole field.
