Nerfed Nord Recruits

[Brew]

Seriuosly, is it just me or do the Nord Recruits of wave 2 in Normal (with the little axes) actually do more damage than Skirmishers (wave 8)? They kill me in three hits on my pikeman, while Skirmishers kill me in four.

I know this is, due to the damage system in Warband, quite random, but I did a couple of tests, and the average is that Nord Recruits deal more damage. And I also understand it's because their damage is blund while Skirmishers have cut, but I just can't understand why wave 2 of Normal should be so deadly!

I agree

They killed my commando with Trans + Valasgarde for around 4 or 5 hits :o

[Legend]

I am pretty sure they also killed hans müller in one hit !

I remember a similar post like this by SK_Eragon

With my Sniper full Bear Set he kill me with 3-4 hit

Yep those guys are more deadly then a whole wave of followers. (Axe with blunt = unreal)

Oh come on, complaining about wave 2 Normal? I'm surprised you guys even get hit by these blue-shirt equiped non-feinting bots. Some enemies are stronger than others. I mean, berserkers are also more dangerous than skirmishers and come earlier on. Leave em be.

Maroon, think about red shirts or blue shirts xD

[Maroon]

Red shirts get pwned by all waves on Normal anyway. There's no need to only nerf these guys.
