I was just wondering if anybody had looked deeply enough into the nuts and bolts of the game to answer a question.
As far as damage dealt to an enemy, what is more important of an attribute for a weapon to have? Damage or speed? Or what point does it not make too much of a difference?
I know that getting a nice speed bonus can really add a lot of damage to an attack (hello mounted combat!) but does the speed attribute of the weapon actually help the weapon do more damage?
For example, there are two different axes, both are held in one hand. One of them does 40 damage with a speed rating of 95, while the other axe does 39 damage with a speed rating of 97 (or something to that effect). Assuming laboratory conditions of you and your foe standing completely still and just swinging away, which one would do more damage?
