Thank you. Not understanding a couple of things, but maybe I will later.
The Desura forum does not seem suitable for decent discussion of this great game -- you cannot even see titles of threads!

What confuses me a bit is that after 5 hours of play, I have not seen a use for the differentiation between blunt, pierce, and slashing damage. Playing the Baron, I have yet to see any of mine own or opponent troops with any form of resistance or susceptibility vs. these. Odd, too, since it is such a great mechanic with great potential.

Similarly, as the Baron, I cannot see any difference between the Halbardiers and the Pikemen: both cost the same and have exactly the same stats, except that the halberd is superior to the pike, unless there is something hidden we cannot see. So what is the Pikeman's raison d'etre?

thank you much
