Ah, the long land pattern would be more appropriate for this era..

I must say that during the 18th century every cavalry regiment in Europe with the notable exception of hussars and several Eastern European Cavalry forces used a straight saber which was left to become blunt to make up for the shock of an impact from such fearsome weapons; they were normally the length of a persons hand to the top of their head as shown in this picture.
Ignore the fact that the picture above is based on Napoleonic Wars, there was only some change in the design of a blade since the turn of the 18th century but none of it was significant
I noticed some cuirassiers using curved sabers; not to mention such weapons are unreliable when slashing at short distances and to control effectively. From my estimates at looking at the picture with the cavalrymen holding those sabers; I suggest reducing its height by lets say 20-25%. I know this mod is anachronistic and not meant to be exactly in place with history but those sabers are just to awkward.

Looks interesting ... Good luck !
Thanks for the info. As for the length of that one sabre, that's been addressed multiple times in this thread.BobSels said:I must say that during the 18th century every cavalry regiment in Europe with the notable exception of hussars and several Eastern European Cavalry forces used a straight saber which was left to become blunt to make up for the shock of an impact from such fearsome weapons; they were normally the length of a persons hand to the top of their head as shown in this picture.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I guess guns will be the main focus, since that's how it was in this time period.LittleJP said:
Yeah, I've already edited some of the multiplayer items and troops. Like I said, there's a very good chance that it'll be both multiplayer and singleplayer.Austupaio said:

Wow, three days, three pages. I wish you all the best and hopefully we'll see this gunpowder mod succeed
I think he was referring to whether guns will overpower melee (swords, axes etc...) weaponry. This has been a problem with gunpowder mods in the past because the AI simply don't use the guns and start using swords. They need to set up a firing formation, or at least intelligently use the guns, not disregard them.

Very nice Mod. I like the idea , one thing I noticed .. Sabres are too huge. Sabres were medium , thin one hand weapons.
As I've said two or three times before, it was just that one sabre that I accidentally made incredibly massive, and I've already completely replaced the model. Anyway, I finally took that picture out of the first post so no one will be confused over that anymore.Lord_killzor said:

Hey, just fyi, one of your sabres is too long.Shredzorz said:
