Hi all guys..
I am modding a bit native, and i was thinking of creating a new type of weapon:
a polearm swingable from your steed
i am asking you guys because i would like to know if such a weapon ever existed or at least "could have existed".
What i had in mind was some sort of scythe which could be used for couching as well as for "swinging" like it was a 2h weapon..
I don't think that gameplay wise it would be overpowered since I would give that weapon a "short" reach (140ish? considering there are 130 sword of wars which could be swinged seems reasonable) and a limited swing damage compared to a real 2h weapon (and of course no shield)..
So it would be a sort of mix between a 2h/polearm, with the ability to couch (but with a short reach), and the ability to swing (a bit farther than a 2h, but far less damaging)..
just by the looks of them.. a glaive or a naginata would be what i had in mind.. now question is, can they be "swinged" from horseback?
What I would like to know it's just if it would be possible.. or such long shafted weapon would be impossible to "swing" even without a shield..
I tried with a shovel at home (but i have no horse to try ) and it seemed really clumsy if i tried to hold the shovel from the end.. yet if i took it more near the middle (something like in the screens above) it was pretty swingable.. and i've notived that I could easilly hold it not only using my hand but also my forearm making it really handy.. yet - differently from those in-game pics - i found it more natural to keep the back of the shaft BEHIND my back and not ni front of me..
so.. what you think?
Adding that stuff to my mod would be as realistic as adding lightsabers or it is something realistic (or, even better, something that was real).
thanks for the attention
