The new fighting modifications have been enabled - the main improvements:
- You are pushed back when being hit
- Kingdom leaders (with 'K' right) can turn their kingdom island into battle ground where you don't lose items (see the kingdoms diplomacy tab)
- Completely different fighting on battle grounds:
- More classic-like hp damage: weapon damage, ac and wc still have influence, but much less than before, and it is much easier to hit other players
- shields block attacks from the front
- limited speed
- shooting arrows is freezing longer but is also taking more hitpoints if being successful
The new hp system is only used for battle grounds - when fighting against monsters everything is the same like before.
