I initially assumed as much since why I suggested the ranking was favouring specifically duel\tournament battles.

in the end - nothing unusual this is how mine looked a few weeks ago.

Choose one or the other. you are either looking at what gives the biggest reward from the smallest improvement or you are looking at the extreme differences. If it is first - My argument still stands and a slight improvement (or decrease) in reach would scale much better than the equivalent in...

It counts your views and it counts views of people who clicked at the last chapter accidentally without reading the whole story first. When I was still reading stories I would sometimes click on the middle/later chapters just to see how the author improved compared to the early chapters...

No, that is not a debate. You were yelling at me for using a modern picture yet now you were trying to pit a XIV weapon against XVI armour and claiming its superiority. I was always talking in the same time period for everything. if we are using longbows - the best armour is 14-century armour...

Put a bucket on your head and shoot it with an arrow - it won't pierce it but by that time you won't care. You will be confused, deafened and probably have whiplash from the impact alone. By the time you reached your opponent, you are already not at your 100% capacity. Arrows were powerful...

I consider underhanded fighting as part of the fighting. and duel-style with strict rules as another. They are both parts of a generic "fight" and thus I see them as both influencing its outcome. On reach vs skill - yes you can overcome reach with skill. The issue is that you need a lot more...

If the point of this thread was to help authors portray fights more realistically then in my opinion it is important to actually consider different types of fights aside from the cut-and-paste battles you specifically mentioned they default to. And for that, the concepts of tactical battles...

You are still jumping into conclusions and riling yourself up for no reason. The reason why I took only 5 seconds to look for it - is because that picture already had enough information included to show my point, specifically the layers it describes: 1-Avoid encounter (fighter doesn't go to...

I knew what I was searching for. I just didn't want to waste more than 5 seconds trying to find a better picture. I found one that showed the general layers. And stop trying to attack my character for no reason. Not a single time I have attacked you personally nor claimed you to be stupid or...

You are concentrating on the details of the picture (one that I took from the internet after 5 seconds of searching) without trying to understand the general message it was trying to give. And you are the one who started adding additional detail to your initial post - your original message was...

And I was talking about range - you were the one who locked in on bows specifically. And all these examples you provided are examples that might overcome the distance. until they get close. Take a terrain advantage - both dressed well both have weapons bow(B) starts from afar there are covers...

Who said anything about running with a bow drawn? Why are you jumping to that? You fire then you can move. Well-armed knight will not be as light-footed as a lightly armed archer even if their base speed is the same (no advantage there) And as far as I've noticed - your well-armed opponent...

All these examples you are showing are already putting you at a disadvantage - because you are already on the defensive from the incoming fire. You are describing a person that can (not will) survive the attacks while doing zero damage or even attempt to damage in return. He is already losing in...

Well for starters it shows that reach has to be higher than where you placed it - there is a reason bows and spears were so popular, especially with the untrained masses - they allowed them to trump many things they didn't have like good gear\good training\good diet. You can boast as much as you...

Imo if you actually gonna talk about ranking factors in battle a good reference would be the defence onion:

Content long. from both sides. Filler long and content short just make the pacing too slow for my liking

A mind of a highly advanced civilization finds itself in the lower rungs of the well-established magocracy. Knowledge, limited by the lack of tools and infrastructure, in a world governed by individual and familial power. Diplomacy, negotiations and other tongue-related activities.

LitRPG will continue as long as there are RPGs. The reason it is popular is because you have a swath of readers pre-trained to feel good when they see numbers go up because of all the games they have played.

Well, you can write as you may see fit. We aren't Novel Police. If you are getting readers and they are happy then there is no need to change anything. You asked for suggestions and I've said my opinion. From my perspective, as a novel, these things add unnecessary issues that shouldn't be...
