Two handed maces and blunt polearms?

[CrazyElf]

Currently there are only 1 handed maces (with the exception of the wooden 2 handed maces - the Sledgehammer).

In the game files we have 2 handed test maces. This is it mpitems.xml.

<CraftedItem multiplayer_item="true"
               id="mp_test_twohandedmace"
               name="{=nmLZEjYg}MP Test 2h Mace"
               crafting_template="TwoHandedMace"
               value="999"
               is_merchandise="false">
    <Pieces>
      <Piece id="mp_test_2hmace_head"
             Type="Blade"
             scale_factor="110" />
      <Piece id="mp_test_2hmace_handle"
             Type="Handle" />
    </Pieces>

We also have the tournament blunt weapons (an example is the polearm).

<CraftedItem id="billhook_polearm_t2_blunt" name="{=SnbK7ygh}Sparing Billhook" crafting_template="TwoHandedPolearm" is_merchandise="false" culture="Culture.vlandia" has_modifier="false">
    <Pieces>
      <Piece id="spear_blade_33_blunt" Type="Blade" scale_factor="100" />
      <Piece id="default_polearm_guard" Type="Guard" scale_factor="100" />
      <Piece id="spear_handle_4" Type="Handle" scale_factor="90" />
      <Piece id="default_polearm_pommel" Type="Pommel" scale_factor="100" />
    </Pieces>
  </CraftedItem>

Are there plans to add proper 2 handed maces and polearms?

ive seen Ai using them on the battlefield now...or its more like clubs,,, so im pretty sure its on its way soon. Iron maces form type of maces im not sure about though

 

[Marajah]

the model is a wooden hammer. They are probably still testing it

I use to love all the two handed hammers and polehammers in Warband.

yeah something I am shocked they haven't worked on yet

Add it to the list...

I think that among the items that players want, this will be one of the higher ones.

The AI does use the wooden weapons, but not a proper mod. Right now there are some mods that add this in. Scum and Villanry comes to mind.

Scum and Villainy (v30.0.1.) for 1.1.0 - 1.1.4. - Criminal Companions

This mod overhauls the game with organized crime. Roguery and criminal rating plays a larger role in making money, new acitivities, mini-quests, companions, factions and 100+ new troops and parties. F

However they are using the existing models and porting them to 2h.

There are a quite a few issues left.

1. Balancing issues with armor, weapons, archers, etc.
2. Fixing the siege AI and make the AI as a whole more intelligent
3. Many people are asking for missing features from Warband.
4. Balancing the perks (and Engineering still needs to be added in)
5. Diplomacy was to be expanded
6. Marriage of siblings

We could make a much longer list, but you get the point.

To be honest, I think that this game will have to remain in EA for much longer than end of March 2021.
