We have all seen the awesome animations done for Attila and Rome II and that it is possible to make alot of changes in that area of the game.
- My suggestion is very simple:
1. find one of the very talented animators for Attila or Rome II and have them construct a new charge animation for cavalry with shield and lance. I would take inspiration from Medieval II´s charge animation.
2. Once the charge is over and its time for the non combat animations, have the knights put their lances on their backs and instead start fighting with their swords.
Because lets all be very frank here, the mod looks outstanding but that lance+shield charge leaves everything to be desired
