New weapons that you would like

[soulcalibur]

when we loot a village farmers must use this tools to fight

 

[FrisianDude]

I want a Gatling gun that automatically kills anyone who cheats in a duel server and says "qq" when I call them out on it.

 

[Do not look here]

God's Hand wouldn't be better?

 

[PrinceGhaldir]

Don't complain and add Balefire...

 

[Batugal]

The falcata

I agree fully. Also I second anything that makes the humble spearman more effective at doing his job: Countering cavalry.

 

[bloodymess17]

honestly, there should be a sword u can use on a horse with a shield that doesnt require you to almost run in your enemy with you horse. also a blade about a foot taler than the character, a doublhander used by doppelsoldners by the germans around this era

 

[bloodymess17]

Artillery would fit a lot to that game, such as ballista

Hell yea it would

Both no. A sword that does not require you to close more than current blades would not be practical (also, I use sabres, arming swords and the likes without any problems, learn to ride with a horse)

A bidenhander would not be in the right time frame, and pike combat is not advanced enough as it is now to make it useful. You'd need a very advanced combat sim to make use of the primary techniques of a bidenhander.

Since we have sarranids....

I would like some swords like that in the game:

( I dont think that the sword in the pic is a real sword, but you now what I mean. )

 

[Merlkir]

Well...Sword like this would be heavy and not very useful. I think this is what a cartoon version of a shamsir/scimitar looks like.

 

[Karel]

No.... it's a variation of the scimitar. I think.

 

[Merlkir]

Yeah, except the blade to hilt ratio is completely different. What I said - a cartoon version.

 

[Blackthorn]

Ironically the blades you're talking about
A) don't really look like that (with the falchion end).
B) didn't originate from Saracen/Moorish cultures, but were adopted from Byzantine origins- they have the first traceable sabres in that theatre of war. They first majorly crop up in Sicilian manuscripts of post-Byzantine Sicilian militia.
So yeah, that form of sword-not so much.

 

[Merlkir]

Erm, who were you replying to, Blackthorn? I know scimitars don't look like that, but this with the falchion like blade is a popular mainstream view of "eastern" swords.
Talking about Byzantine swords, you mean the "paramerion"?

Anyway, here's a rather interesting thread on the subject:

Mostly to Karel, but admittedly, also somewhat talking to myself.
Yeah- that's the doozie. Couldn't remember the exact name, just remembered it -wasn't- the spathion. Therefore saying ''not the spathion'' didn't seem to be much use.

Oh, sorry, didnt see^^

 

[Sushiman70]

Yes, big maces are always fun

No, no flails

 

[AWdeV]

That's not a big mace, in fact it looks impractically small. And I imagine flails would be liked, they're just still very difficult to implement properly.
