Polearms Plus

Are you one of those edgy weirdos that like running into a fight wielding only a Hiver-made polearm, or Farmer Joe's staff? Are you a fan of the current polearms, but want a bit more to your selection? Want to tenderize your next meal of Holy Tincan without getting up close and personal? Then I present to you...

Polearms Plus! Polearms plus aims to introduce a multitude of new polearms to the game, which are still Kenshi-friendly (as they, at least for now, are merely butchered weapons put together into a new one) in design.

Changelogs:

Version 1.0
Heavy Staff: Heavier variant of the farmers staff, which has a higher weight (as implied by the name) but also greater blunt damage (25% more than the base staff) and value.

Spiked Staff: Similar to the Heavy Staff, but with the addition of spikes on either shod. The spikes inflict marginal cut damage, but great amounts of bleed.

Research for both of these weapons can be found after researching "Heavy Weapons" under the name "Heavy Staffs". The research topic costs 2 books and takes 4 hours to complete (under standard conditions).

These weapons can additionally be found at any vendor that sells staffs, but the rarity for the Heavy and Spiked variants are uncommon and rare (respectively).

Version 2.0
Whirlwind: Exotic weapon; the brainchild of an unknown (and possibly crazy) smith. The Whirlwind is the most devestating of all polearms with unparalleled cutting damage, but suffers in terms of balance and weight.

Research: Research requirements for "Heavy Staffs" (now under the name "Heavy Polearms") have been adjusted: you now require "Heavy Weapons" as well as the "Polearms" tech in order to unlock. Research for the Whirlwind falls under "Prototype Polearms", which requires "Heavy Polearms", 6 books, and tech level 3 to unlock.

The Whirlwind can also be found in Lost Armouries, or anywhere else weapon artifacts might be found. They are available in all qualities except Cross.
