New weapons that should get added!

[molenga]

How come we don´t have spears? They are much more primitive to craft than a bow, not to mention a sword, they could be made either from stone or metal.

Also, blunt weapons such as maces and morning stars.

Im not sure exactly what the characteristics of such weapons should be in-game, but blunt weapons have been notorious for being used to kill heavily armored knights by bashing the enemy in the head untill he falls dead or KO´d.

The spear could be used while riding a horse perhaps to allow mounted combat? It would also be the ultimate anti-calvary weapon, as it has been in medieval times.

These could be used to introduce both mounted combat and some new armor-piercing weapons to deal with the massive increase in metal q that will sooner or later may result in ridiculously overpowered armor in relation to weapons.

Crossbows that can be shot quickly but then must be reloaded for a long period of time would be pretty sweet.


Besides that, a wood club made of blocks, a blunt "crush" attack that the club or a sledgehammer could use, and spears are probably worth adding.

Yeah, different types of weapons along with new maneuvers is a good idea.
Inspired, I decided to share with you some of my ideas.

Weapon parts :

3 block of wood
1 leather

Long Handle - for polearms
8 block of wood

Metal handle - for metal weapons
2 bar of hard metal
2 leather

Ideas for weapons :

Club - simple blunt weapon
6 block of wood
Wooden handle
Heavy, blunt

Mace - metal blunt weapon
3 bars of hard metal

4 bar of wrought iron
1 bar of steel
Metal handle
Heavy, edged

Atgeir - viking polearm
4 bar of steel
2 bar of wrought rion

Polearm, metal, pierce

(sledgehammer should be weapon too as blunt )

Hmmmm, so now I looked at what I wrote, and I came to the conclusion that maybe it is too complicated for Hafen. It might be worth considering for simplification ...
Anyway, I have some idea, maybe something will come to mind me enough sense to write.
What do you think about it? Feel free to comment and share your ideas!

More weapons and armours would be very cool. So people wouldnt always wear 100% same gear.

[venatorvenator]

More than different weapons, I think a good addition would be moves exclusive to each weapon, with different colors and stats as weight.

Well, I think that is pretty much implied, as it would be quite weird to use chop with a spear!
