Decent weapon ?

[Cracka]

Hi there,


Really enjoying this mod, but it seems that all the weapons are really dull and similar. In most cases there is a tiny disparity between a 500 denar weapon and a 30,000 denar weapon.

Is there some kind of pacing script in place that is limiting the weapons available, or is this all i am to expect throughout the entirety of the campaign ?

I am almost level 20, but have yet to see any "Lance" weapons for sale in any of the cities, just a tonne of generic spears.

Only if I had the black mace I would be set.

can you say where you are looking. What towns? because in baltic or nordic area lances and swords are rare. In more central-west europe (france, HRE, england) they are often to find.

Yep; by the way, I find the repartition of the weapons on the markets quite stranges, the italian healmes invented by napolitans are only foundables in northern europa! And Central Italia which is knew to have provided most of the heavy closed helms to the rest of Europa until the 15 th century is poor in those products like Ireland and Scotia...
Idem for Coats of Plates: Sienna, Florence, Milan and Cremona were the cities which have designed and produced the first Coat of plates which evolved later in Brigandines.
So please, make Italia decent about the potential buying of weapons and armors in the markets. No need to get healmes and Coat of Plates soldables by manor's amorers. Those products needed a huge amount of metal and even very specialised artisans, so only cities should be able to sold it.

Not really sure Italy ever exported closed helms specifically. Could you provide sources about that? I knew later on northern Italy sold both swords' blades and high quality plate armors but that happened in late 14th and 15th century, I think? Although I have to agree it is puzzling to play in Italy and be unable to buy proper knightly equipment. I could understand southern Italy having slightly old style due to the Germanic influence (which apparently meant conservation of a more "classical" kind of armor and weapons) but central Italy and northern Italy were on a similar level of advancement as France and Spain I think. So shops there could do with a facelift in my opinion.

Napolitan artisans invented the facial cervelliere around 1180(so long time before 1257). Yet its anachronic to feature here those helms but anyway.
I was meaning that helmet(facial cervelliere)  which became the great healme of 1250:

I just don't have internet source about this, but do no worry, I don"t confuse about the periods
