Are we getting any normal non unique weapons?
Yes of course ;)
All of these will be part of the next bigger upate. From left to right:
Warbow (lategame bow), Light Crossbow (early game crossbow), Fighting Spear (lategame spear), Longaxe (polearm for 2nd row), Two handed Hammer.
it seems necessary to use this opportunity and to ask Paul to make as much as possible the unique double-edged axes – not historically, not practical… but it’s so beautiful )
I am in a pretty generous mood, so I might actually consider :) I did some research on the topic but the only historical double headed battle axes I found were from Indo Persian Origin and mostly 17 century or even later. Apparently there also were such axes in use as ceremonial weapons in ancient Greece.
Do you have any more reference for me? I would at least need some sort of historical example.
Heres an Indo Persian Axe from the 19th century:
Also, do you have any art available for unique weapons we might find yet? Such as unique two-handed weapons, etc.?
Yesterday I started working on named weapons for all the different categories. First off we have some spears and a rough version of some Billhooks.
The Billhook basic skill will be switched from “impale” to “strike” by the way. We did some balancing changes on all polearms, but more info on that will follow in a blog post.
Cheers!
Spears:
i LOVE the way it looks without visor. Plox make some like that if possible at all. Id keep them on my frontline dudes no matter stats ?
Okay okay, you got me:
it did not replace the old heavy wolf armor from gang leaders, yes?
No, the old wolf armors are still in :)
By the way: when we implement the injury system you injured brothers (out of combat) will look something like this:
i could swear ive seen that pattern somewhere, i want to say Hungary.
The Pavise is also a bit out of period, but whatever, lets have some more visual variety. If I had the time I would add a million more :)
The red and white stripes give it a very “mercenary” feel. Its a pretty common look across various nations in the middle ages, especially eastern Europe.
Allthough the concrete inspiration in this case was the stripey theme of the “Dogs of War” Warhammer Fantasy faction.
Cheers!
