When this started on Kickstarter, I wasn't impressed, I'll be honest. But then the combat video came up and I was blown away. I immediately told all my friends (and some who weren't ) about it. I see the immense potential in it and think it could be the best medieval combat ever seen in a game.
Now to the reason I signed up for the forums. Iirc, you mentioned in one of these threads that you were still looking for people to sign on specially with regards to combat. There is only one guy you want to do this. He goes by Duke Patrick/spookyfx. He has had 30 years of experience with actual medieval fighting in the SCA and has used this knowledge to mod combat for Oblivion and Skyrim, and some of his implementations were adapted for Skyrim.
His implementation is simple and very intuitive (no "up + down + left + right + lmb + rmb to parry!) and creates a very deep and immersive combat system. I kid you not when I say I will not play either Oblivion or Skyrim without his mods. I do not know him personally (heck we don't even live on the same continent), he is not paying me in any form, and is not even aware I am doing this. I am only telling you about him because of the selfish reason that I want his combat system in my game of Sui Generis.
Here is the latest version of his Skyrim mod if you care to see the latest features of his WIP (although he can get frustrated by the limitations imposed by the game engine)

and here are some excerpts from the book he wrote on advanced medieval fighting:

Believe you me you want this guy if you want this game to be the best it can be.
