Everybody but elves, as it turns out. But only the male castes, 'cept for dwarves
Any sort of hair can work.

I see how weapons will be handled with the non-lethal fighting (i.e. they will be sheathed or whatever) but what about your armour?

Punching someone in the chest while they're wearing a byrnie or breastplate would be no fun at all. And those gauntlet-clad fists could be considered lethal weapons.

I pretty sure nonlethal weapon attacks would be striking someone with the flat of your blade, or hilt, or something.
But you can already do that(kinda) so I think an option for surrender would be the most appropriate way to implment nonlethal combat.(rather then having a seperate button for nonlethal combat, just allow players to punch or strike with their hilts and knock out/cause pain to a target then have them ask the target to surrender)


If that makes any sense at all....
I ramble....

Hrm. I was mainly referring to the unarmed combat (tavern brawls, fist fights with street thugs, etc.) that were mentioned in one of the devlogs.

Sheathing your weapon was mentioned, and it was implied that drawing your sword (or whatever) could be one of the triggers for AI reactions (e.g. thugs run away / thugs draw their own weapons / thugs call for backup / etc.).

So, would you have to take your bronze mail shirt off before you start brawling with people?

Something just occurred to me.
Does this mean we can have a friendly sparring session?

I really want to go pull a "Men in Tights" and bitch slap a king with a steel gauntlet, without killing him.
