Great hammers.

I do not know if there's a question topic, sorry if it escaped my eyes but...

Are the greathammers in games historically accurate? I've seen lords wieldin' these rediculous hammers.

For those who do not know what it is let me describe: It's a big ball of steel on a stick. (Not the morningstar)

Some big hammers, mauls or mallets have historical backing ( I only know them from the 15-16th century though earlier examples may exist ) but they have mostly been placed on a polearm with a spike or been a tool/improvised weapon ( for example for driving stakes in the ground ).
The Native circus hammer/LOLhammer however has no place in the hands of a lord in the mod ( at least it would be very exotic ) and must have ended there by mistake.

You wouldn't happen to know which lords, would you, Titan ?

I was in a tournament today, and I spotted a lawlhammer, I do not remember clearly right now, I'm sleepy.

Yes, I see now in the troops module that the three tourney entrants William Marshall, Dranton and Kradus all have warhammers ( which I guess are in-game sledge- and great hammers ) and these should be changed to, preferably, swords or maces.
