Combat

Life is Feudal is a harsh realistic medieval world. A medieval world without magic. Thus, combat is limited to real types of medieval combat:
 * Melee combat
 * Mounted combat
 * Ranged combat
 * Siege combat

Combat Pace
The goal is to provide at least 2 blows minimum to kill/KO a player. But not more than 10-15 or so blows maximum to kill a fully armored person. There will be no absolute protection, so even if you have a rusty knife, you should be able to disassemble a fully armored knight in a few minutes of constant hitting. This includes archery as there will not be one-shot kills but they decided to add an ability called Arrow to the knee nonetheless.

Equipment management
To read more about equipment in general: Equipment.

All characters have 4 weapon slots:
 * Left Back Slot
 * Right Back Slot
 * Left Waist Slot
 * Right Waist Slot

Waist slots can only be occupied by small one-handed weapons and a Buckler shield. Back slots can be occupied by any type of weapons or shields.

The total weight of all equipped items affects character movement. Critical weight is calculated based on the Strength attribute.

Different weapons deal different types of damage which must be taken into account when engaging in combat.

Some tips regarding combat equipment:
 * Because of the full loot feature, only equip weapons and armor that you can afford to lose!
 * Equipping a weapon into a weapon slot or donning an armor requires some time and the process will be interrupted if/when the character is damaged, so it is a good advice to prepare your set of weapons and armor before engaging in combat.
 * Keep an eye on the durability of your weapons and armor. It is a good habit to ensure they are repaired before engaging in combat. Carrying a second main weapon or shield is a good habit and might save your life in an intense battle.
 * Shields are heavily damaged by axe-type weapons.
 * Have at least one blunt damage weapon equipped. This might be useful in certain situations to avoid killing someone and losing a lot of alignment - just knock him out instead!

Body parts
There are 6 body parts in game. Each body part can receive only one wound and only one fracture. Each body part is covered with a corresponding armor piece that is worn on that body type.

General combat abilities

 * I_Yield.png I Yield. Your character enters yielding state. Any amount of blunt damage will instantly result in a knockout. Killing a character in a yielding state will incur even more alignment loss to a murderer. Good ability to keep your skills intact and avoid death.
 * Flee.png Flee.
