Weapon Reclassification

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

         Currently we only have spears and swords as weapons. Because of the diversity of the weapons used by each unit from each race, this feels a little bit out of place to me. For instance, Axmen are supposed to have axes, but swords are required to train them.

This is what I'm proposing. Instead of dividing weapons into spears and swords, what if it's divided into different size/weight: light weapons and heavy weapons. Light weapons include spear, pick axe, javelin, short sword, and their variants. Heavy weapons include halbedier, great sword, great axe and their variants.

This should provide better abstraction of the weapons needed to train a diverse range of military units, and also provide leeway in case more units are added into the game. Probably this may lead to the inclusion of medium weapons, such as long sword, mace, morning star, and the likes.
