Jousting tournoment

[mikm]

Does such a tournament exist?Seen jousting ground at tournaments.But all I've seen is sword fighting tournaments.Maybe a future feature?

[De-Legro]

They exist, whomever is running the Tournament can choose to include jousting, its just a less common choice.

[mikm]

Have never seen one

The swordfighting skill is preferred by many since it is also useful in fighting duels and protecting against infiltrator attacks. Since one advantage of tournaments is free training, it makes swordfighting tournaments more common.

I think one can train both sword or joust regardless of the kind of competition the tournament includes. Thus, a jousting tournament would provide the same potential training as a swordfighting one. But I may be wrong.

Joust Training Match would be nice ;)

Yes, you can train both skills. But most nobles are far weaker on the lance, and since they like to show off, lance-only tournaments are less popular.

I've  seen many jousting tournaments. But I've seen at least four times more of swordfighting tournaments. While SF tournaments are decided in a duel, jousting tournaments are decided over three rounds. If you enter one, each round will look pretty close to the following.

Round 1
Knight A won vs Knight B with 3:0
Knight C won vs Knight D with 2:1

Does that include Training Matches?

[Zakilevo]

I do not think there is a training match for jousting. If there is, I am not so sure. Non of my characters trained on jousting. Only character I train is one on Dwilight and I only train him with the sword.

Training matches, like duels, are swords only.

"Jousting duels" are a frequently rejected request.

How come? Joust Training with a friend would be a very nice addition and would give rp potential. Joust Dueling could be done but well.. can only see the french ever doing it.. HRE and England wouldnt...

It is probably because knights never dueled each other with lances during the medieval?

They certainly trained together with lances though, so I see training matches as a perfect way to incorporate that into the game.

you say that but you mainly hear of dueling in the C18-C19. And I am sure that somewhere two french knights dueled on lances - they are french after all ;)
