Add a weapon!
Got a unique interesting weapon that fits medieval setting and isn't in this mod already? Feel free to suggest it here and i might add it to the mod, when i have free time. Note that the mod isn't in a fantasy setting, so preferably i d like you to keep to realistic medieval weapons.

Planned additions for now:
None, apparel will be worked on next.

Do you intend to release a separate Eastern medieval pack?

If not, please consider adding flamemesser (zweihandel with flame-like blade that more akind to a flesh saw), scimitar (cannot do proper dromedary knight) and japanese/chinese weapons

Did you perhaps mean a flamberge? Of all the swords it most resembles a two-handed sword with a blade in a form you described. Sure, i ll add it to my plans along with a two-handed flail and a Triumvirate (three headed flail).

It's not a new weapon, but you should create a comparability patch with the SheathYourSword mod or create something similar to it. I know It may probably require a lot of work, but it would be cool to see!

After back-check my jaded weapons lingo, yes it is a flamberge.

An additional or expanded variety of sickle swords would be a good option. Things like the Dacian Falx, an African Mambele, or even a semi-fantasy reverse-edge katana, any or all of them would be interesting, since they have a rather unique look and functionality. I suppose they're not entirely outside your scope, since you've got the Khopesh already.

Stepping closer towards historical European arms, another good looking blade which seems to be missing would be the Messer, your classic European single-edged sword. Another cutting-focused blade, the Executioner's Sword, isn't present here either. On the opposite side of functionality, one of my personal favourites, the Estoc, is also conspicious in its absence.

Among polearms, there isn't any sort of billhook or quarterstaff to satisfy our inner English peasant. Historical Eastern European arms of all types are also missing, but the War Scythe is probably the most famous.

If you want to step into the realm of the Renaissance at all, there are a large variety of historical combination sword-pistols which would be quite fun to see. Heck, even regular pistols of the era were basically combination maces, mind.

Added to my to do list! I wanted to eventually add that myself.

I see a host of wonderful potential additions! Thanks. Although i probably won't move outside traditional medieval setting (so nothing fantasyish or renaissance), but i will make a mental note about adding Estock, billhook and some of the exotic blades you mentioned. This however doesn't mean i won't ever look into fantasy blades and other eras. When i finish medieval mod pack (provided i live long enough...) i ll be adding much more stuff, but as part of another mod, most likely. I have tons of funs drawing different weapons, so I don't plan on stopping.

Not a weapon persay, but there is a mod out there called SheathYourSword that I WISH more people would use, maybe you could integrate a patch of some sort? I would love to have sheaths for these weapons aswell!
Madman666  [developer] 6 Sep, 2019 @ 6:33pm 
Might take a look at it, once i finish with all other stuff i planned, but no promises.

What about some eastern weapons like the Igorot Headhunting Axe or the Katar?
Profligate 8 Sep, 2019 @ 12:35pm 
Or maybe like the Swordbreaker Dagger, which would be like a normal dagger with less damage but would increase block chance.
(Swordbreaker is from about one hundred years after the medieval time period tho)

Eastern weapons i do plan on, but probably later, maybe when i ll be adding factions. Swordbreaker i ll read up on, thanks.
Maybe a Cutlass? Predominately used by sailors in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Would be perfect for "Pirate Runs" as well!

Id suggest the oversized Arbalest crossbow, it was very powerful in the Medieval era and id like to use it if not in the game yet.
Madman666  [developer] 11 Sep, 2019 @ 3:57pm 
Siege crossbow is more or less what are you talking about. Its already there.

Maybe you could add a Guan Dao, would be cool to see some more chinese weapons. If you're interested in adding them of course.
