The combat is pretty well done, though my big gripe with combat is how the AI can swing through one another in melee (its kind of anoying as they bunch together then proceed to do attacks that they couldnt possibly do in real life with out getting tangled up or stabbing each other).

That and i think shields are a touch too effective, and blocking with weapons is way to efficent especialy light weapons blocking big heavy weapons. For example me charging an infantry man on horseback using a great axe (i think thats its name in game, its realy a 2h bearded axe) and having them parry it with a dagger. No way on earth a dagger could stop an attack like that, heck even with solid steel shield the impact would break your arm easily.

Otherwise the combat is great, i wish some of the medieval/fantasy MMO's had a combat system like that.
Yeh, some aspects of the combat are really annoying. But then again, I usually encounter only cavalry & archers, so it's easy to just use my great lance to wipe out the cavalry and then use my great battle axe to mop up the archers.
