Why ? I don't see why their are worst weapons than sword. They are better againt armor opponents at my eyes than swords.
Unless you give us a list of the value of weapons in the warfare of this quest, an axe is a perfectly valid option for light infantry.
no he likes agility and medium armor usually, plus he uses steel chainmail which is almost as good as bronze plate.sans since i few years passed did link switch his green clothes to something like this yet?
no limit and it is +10.@san how much is the bonus for additional authority and is there a limit to how many additional authority we can add to an action?
for very rough ideas, but ya axes tend to get buried in targets so they are TERRIBLE for a skirmishing force. Also plate armor protects against everything that a one handed axe could dish out... they are also terribad on defence as they offer 0 protection for the fingers.
but yes they offer more damage potential against ARMORED troops and if you had full plate armor troops armed with halberds or Dane Axes they could dish out more damage than if they were armed with great or longswords.
Finally a sword deals more damage to lightly or un-armored enemies than an axe because of the larger cutting edge.
but ya if you were aiming for a weapon that can take out an armored enemy go with a hammer they generally do more damage
EDIT: also axes tire out forces more than swords because of points of balance. They also are slower to bring back to protect yourself, same goes for hammers.
not exactly, a mace is best against heavily armored opponents and worst against lightly armored opponents, The sword is the opposite and the spear and axe are in the middle with the axe closer to the hammer and the spear to the sword.Okay, i understand your point of view. For me an axe should be mor efficient against an opponent who wear chainmail but it's good.
So mace/hammer are more valid options than axes ? because if it's the case i would chance the equipment of our cataphracts.
Okay thank you for your answer. So axes are a good option for heavy cav ?not exactly, a mace is best against heavily armored opponents and worst against lightly armored opponents, The sword is the opposite and the spear and axe are in the middle with the axe closer to the hammer and the spear to the sword.
however the problem is that an axe makes it harder to defend, and troops armed with bows can't have a full shield, only bucklers so they can shoot the bow, and then strap the shield on easily. So it is not a good combination, that's all. An axe/shield would be VERY effective for a medium armor troop and a two handed axe would be great for heavy troops.
ya its perfectly fine there, especially with the speed providing extra weight behind the strikes.Okay thank you for your answer. So axes are a good option for heavy cav ?
i changed it because i got sick and tired of the discussions. the rest of the plan remains the same and it is up to debate to be changed.-[] Train Medium Infantry (crossbows + Gladius-sword + medium shield + light armor) - Train some Light Infantry. REMEMBER to pick what weapon they use plus whether or not they use a shield! (Level of skill/ability as well as numbers depends on roll.) MAX: 10

As in, you can discuss it, then change it and submit it yourself.
Maybe a Fangtian Ji?Personally I believe that polearms are better for cavalry, especially if we want it to be a shock unit, since we want to maximise the damage a cavalry charge can accomplish. Maybe having something akin to a Fauchard, Glaive, Partisan, Naginata, or other weapons of that sort, so as to still allow for a powerful charge, but also offer more versatility than a spear when in melee.
One of the big advantages of cavalry is their mobility and reach, and we should try and make use of it.
the current heavy cavalry has a horseman's axe and a lance along with a shield, I figured best combo for the axe they wanted.Personally I believe that polearms are better for cavalry, especially if we want it to be a shock unit, since we want to maximise the damage a cavalry charge can accomplish.

Also, with axes for Heavy Cavalry, maybe look at the Lucerne Hammer. It's a Warhammer combined with a Pike, making it good at dealing with heavy elements.

give me some time and ill make another plan, and no axes for skirmishers people!!! seriously...unless we want them to die horrible, horrible, horrible deaths then no! short-swords at best to defend themselves with!
carrying all that sounds a bit hard...the current heavy cavalry has a horseman's axe and a lance along with a shield, I figured best combo for the axe they wanted.
Horseman's axe is shorter than the longsword and only a touch heavier. It basically is kept in a sheath type of thing until it is used after the charge with the Lance. Then it is pulled out for the melee.
