Alright, so I was doing some arena testing, and I created a human with no armour and a steel two handed sword who was competent in fighter, dodging, armour use, swordsman and maceman. The maceman skill was an accident left over from previous tests. I then created an unarmoured opponent for him, another human, this time with a steel long sword and steel shield, competent in armour use, shield use, swordsman and dodging. I had them fight and the two handed sword user won hands down, and then won against the next 10+ sword-and-board fighters i sent against him before even becoming injured. Confused, I recreated the same scenario, and remembered to remove the maceman skill from the two handed fighter this time (his skills were otherwise the same as those previously listed), and the sword and board beat over 15 two handed users in a row. I was very, very confused by these results, and thus suspected that the maceman skill may have had something to do with the victory of the two handed user, and sure enough when I created a new two handed sword user with the same skills as before but this time including maceman again, he won hands down, and then had another huge winning streak. I tried creating a long sword + shield fighter with maceman skill in addition to the others, but it didn't seem to help him or the others I sent after, because the two handed user killed them all just the same.
This is especially confusing to me because for the most part, the two handed sword user isn't even using pommeling or flat-of-the-blade attacks - he's just slashing and stabbing! I'm not very good at testing, wiki page formatting, or any of that, which is why I didn't put this in the main article, but can someone look into this?
