In that case please put the unbalanced tag on things where it makes sense first. Such as every single polearm between long axe and elegant poleaxe.
Unbalanced is a horrible game mechanic imo. Just make some really slow 1 handers without stab but good swing damage
Elegant poleaxe seems pretty balanced to me.
It is fairly long and held pretty high up and has metal at the bottom to even the weight:(click to show/hide)
Sorry for derailing.
It seems like a good idea with unbalanced 1h weapons. I am not sure wether it is realistic, but the diversity would certainly be good for the game, so who cares about realism :D
we should have a 1h secondary mode for great maul
does 37b and has speed 40

As suggested by the title; I think this game would benefit from some high damage unbalanced one handed weapons.
There may be no need for models as, (with a damage buff, and maybe speed/length of course) weapons such as Military Cleaver, Military Hammer, Warhammer etc. could be made unbalanced.
Who the heck is going to use that? Speed is the main selling point for weapons in this game. Why to buy a slow 1H hammer, when you can buy fast 1H sword that also has stab?exactly! thats why every sword or cut type of dmg must be hardly nerfed... or at least every sword should get cut type of dmg on their stabs... and its about 2hs also...
so you mean
exactly! thats why every sword or cut type of dmg must be hardly nerfed... or at least every sword should get cut type of dmg on their stabs... and its about 2hs also...
could make it so the use of all 2h weapons in one hand makes it unbalanced or something like that
haha
Nightmare sorry to pick you up on this but you don't seem to know much about armoured combat. Try stabbing into plate or even a brigandine with anything. You will end up with a sore wrist (assuming one handed) and potentially a dented skull after your opponent smacks you with a heavy falchion or mace. . Its because a slash or traditional (warband style) stab would have failed against the later period armours.
Ever wondered why people half sworded and used longswords like clubs against heavy armour

Nightmare YES infact they did
* Half-swording and morte-striking are best for armoured*
An unarmoured fighter can do both as needed, either against an unarmoured foe or especially against a plate-armoured foe. A longsword wielded by half-swording lets the fighter strongly set aside a foe’s strike and allows accuracy and power for thrusting, especially for seeking the gaps of plate-armour. If wielded to morte-strike, it makes for a fearsome attack against a foe whether unarmoured or armoured. With the pommel it allows battering of plate-armour; and with the crossguard, it allows piercing of its gaps or perhaps the armour itself, and hooking and wrenching of both his armour and the foe himself. The equally plate-armoured fighter and foe would surely do both half-swording and morte-striking against each other.

Morte Striking: This is when both hands grip the blade to smite with the pommel or crossguard.

Nightmare please show some respect and do some research. I know you are new to communicating with people over the internet. In my opinion that really shouldn't be an excuse for behaving the way you do.

Mate you are impossible. These blades are not serrated and the blade would surely be gripped tightly to reduce slippage to a minimum. A few of these guys demonstrate the technique, a few are just messing about and others show that you won't cut your hands. I'm not responding to you anymore as you haven't demonstrated any of the responses one expects from a fully functioning mind.
The game is all about speed, I have a mighty iron war axe, 40 cut 96 speed and it hits like a noodle. The liudao has 103 speed and 34 cut and hits like a truck, I still like the axe tho for destroying shields
Buff 1h mode of 2h weapons, then make them all unbalanced in 1h mode.Doesn't work like that. Unlike other things, bastard sword with a shield isn't a "mode" so it doesn't have its own dedicated stats, it simply has modifiers(percentage based penalties) and the modifiers have to be the same for every weapon, so some will be hit harder than others(speed penalty becoming a larger factor for the morningstar than the bastard swords as an example). Can't do the unbalanced thing either, I believe, due to the above.
Weapons like the Langes Messer gain +3 cut, +1 speed, and +2(?) thrust when going from 1h->2h mode. Just apply the same logic in reverse, but with larger penalties.

What is the current penalty, -33% dmg, -25% speed? Could that just be changed to -15% dmg, -10% speed or similar? Basically whatever makes the 1h longsword just slightly worse than the ACS, which hopefully keeps the Morningstar from being too good in 1h mode.-15% damage currently and similar speed I believe, for the shield penalty. Regardless, the numbers are being lowered when you use one of these weapons with a shield while not being atop a horse.
While on the subject, why can't you swing with the Estoc eventhough it only has 28 cut and similar length to Longsword?Because otherwise you'd be able to thrust with it, and we have to consider how this plays from horseback. It would mean you'd have a 17 length longer Espada Eslavona(you wouldn't suffer penalties when thrusting from horseback without a shield on your arm). And no, not at this time.
Any plans to make other weapons usable with a shield?
for me there should be simple relation:
knockdown=unballanced, like in 2h
