    Well, um, yeah.
    People seem to have hard time shooting on knights that have shields facing their direction so i made this pic to help you people.

    The Red marked area shows where the knight can block arrows
    and the Blue marked area shows where the knight is vulnerable to arrows.

    Pic 1 shows a knight facing the most protective stance.
    Pic 2 shows the knight when hes facing downwards.
    Pic 3 shows the knight shielding upwards.
    At the picture 4 i have marked a black line that shows the angle where you as a archer can hit the knight if you shoot good enough.

    Made a vid where to shoot on the knight in pic 3 and 2, i will make a vid about the number one later.
     
  2. I like the pictures! Very good work!

    Picture 3 should be 3mm blue line down, because the shield is damn annoy :/

    I think the red part is a little too large on the shielding right-down part, but otherwise it seems ok.
    What's that thing on the ground behind the knight?

    No, it's actually a sign, but smooth shader is turned on.

    Also, I can tell you from experience, that the red area on the shielding down, should be longer and further to the left (based on your image pic 2). You test that out with trap bridges. Also, as Karpovich said, in image 3, you do block a tad more bit lower than you show. Basically you have to at least aim for the shoulders (but I think it's actually a tad lower than that).

    Aim for the shield, it's your best bet.

    Not to be a downer, but this is just common sense, all you did was highlight where the shield was...

    Now that you've pointed it out it just seems so goddamned obvious.
    Except it isn't rendered useless right now, since this isn't "KAG 1.0", and your comment seems a little bitchy, for lack of a better word. It's still valuable for players that don't know the rough boundaries of a knight's shield, though I certainly do wish that the OP would draw more attention to spots that look blockable but actually aren't.
     
  9. Oh shit, I forgot you are a tester*. Can you tell me when we got rid of shields/archers? Because last time I was playing scripting, knights had shields and archers were still there.
