We all want weapons right! This is for me and for others one of the best reason we play these kind of games!
What if we help TaleWorlds and the Moders to make a list with weapons in order to have a very clear goal about creating an amazing game?
I can start by posting this link with a site that list many medieval weapons and also with pictures.
If you have any ideas, or better and clearer categorizing list about all the weapons please post it here.
So there are of course types of weapons which are not yet in the game. I'm sure TW and/or the moders will expand the arsenal, but personally I expect more from TW, because they can balance better the vanilla and it will not be so confusing for us to install all kind of mods (I'm not talking about mega mods like LOTR etc) which are sometimes unbalanced and conflicting with others, etc.
So I see the Voulge in the game and tried it, but here is a large variety of hybrid polearm-spear-axe weapons.
Here's a short list.
Corseques
A corseque has a three-bladed head on a 6-8ft. (1.8m-2.5m)
Fauchards
A fauchard is a type of polearm used in medieval Europe from the 11th through the 14th centuries. The design consisted of a curved blade on top of a 6–7-foot long pole.
Glaives
A glaive is a polearm consisting of a single-edged tapering blade similar in shape to a modern kitchen knife on the end of a pole. The blade is fixed in a socket-shaft configuration similar to an axe head, both the blade and shaft varying in length. (180–210 cm) long
Guisarmes
A guisarme (gisarme, giserne or bisarme) was a pole weapon used in Europe between 1000–1400. It was used primarily to dismount knights and horsemen. Like most polearms it was developed by peasants by combining hand tools with long poles, in this case by putting a pruning hook onto a spear shaft.
Halberds
A halberd (or Swiss voulge) is a two-handed pole weapon that came to prominent use during the 14th and 15th centuries but has continued in use as a ceremonial weapon to the present day.
(I would like to see more of them, there are many shapes and forms)
Sparths
In the 13th century, variants on the Danish axe are seen. Described in English as a sparth (from the Old Norse sparðr) or pale-axe], the weapon featured a larger head with broader blade, the rearward part of the crescent sweeping up to contact (or even be attached to) the haft. Another development extended the forward part of the crescent.
Pollaxes
In the 14th century, the basic long axe began to evolve, gaining an armour piercing spike on the back and another on the end of the haft for thrusting. This evolved into the pollaxe of the following century.
Mauls
The maul is a long-handled hammer with a heavy metal head, either of lead or iron. It is similar in appearance and function to a modern sledgehammer but is sometimes shown as having a spear-like spike on the fore-end of the haft.
Becs de Corbin
A bec de corbin is a type of pole weapon that was popular in medieval Europe. The name is Old French for "crow's beak".
Arbalests
The arbalest (also arblast) was a late variation of the medieval European crossbow. A larger weapon, the arbalest had a steel prod ("bow"). Since an arbalest was much larger than earlier crossbows, and because of the greater tensile strength of steel, it had a greater force.
(these were used even by two men. One charged the weapon, the other one was holding a large shield to protect, because was taking long)
Flails
The military flail or simply flail is a weapon commonly attributed to the Middle-Ages but for which only a limited amount of historical evidence currently exists for most of this era.
Morning star
The morningstar is a medieval weapon consisting of a spiked club resembling a mace, usually with a long spike extending straight from the top and many smaller spikes around the particle of the head.
War Hammers
A war hammer is a late medieval weapon of war intended for close combat action, the design of which resembles the hammer.
