What we need to remeber is that chivalry had melee as the absolute main feature, and is covering a period where around 90 precent of deaths was cause by hand to hand combat, while in this period only 2 procent was caused by hand to hand fighting. I know its a game so it doesnt need to be 100% accurate, but unlike NW, shooting is going to make a big difference on the battlefiled. Its a civil war game we want right? With melee as one of the features, not more importent then the others, but as part of the game.
