The mod will always need some minor tweaks and fixes but i think it is well balanced overall

I think that throwing weapons should act as a natural supplement to an infantryman's arsenal. They should serve as a way for players to defend against other ranged units and charging cavalry, as well as to soften up enemy infantry forces prior to engaging them in melee combat. However many thrown weapons are currently innacurate, and simply exist as a form of projectile spam which, when it lands, causes rage-inducing one/two hit kills.

I think a good solution to this problem is to slightly decrease the damage dealt by throwing weapons, in particular the high-tier (jarid, lance, heavy ax) weapons. I also think that there should be more time inbetween shots, ie: slower chamber speed. I also think that the accuracy of an immobile thrower should be significantly increased.

Optimally, I would like to see any infantryman who is not a dedicated thrower enter battle with two or three throwing javelins/lances/axes/whatever at most. This would force said non-dedicated thrower to conservatively use their ammunition instead of spamming them as they do now. It will actually be possible for them to conservatively and intelligently use their thrown weapons because they will have increased accuracy. Spam would be reduced. There would be a smaller number of SHIT flying through the air hitting random people. Cavalry would be able to participate in the battle more, instead of hiding, because infantry will have to make a conscious decision as to whether they wish to save their thrown weapons, or potentially waste them on cavalry.

In other words, I propose we make thrown weapons something that almost any infantry dude can effectively use, but which requires some critical thinking. Do I throw one of three of my axes at that archer who's not looking at me right now? Or should I save it for a situation when I might REALLY need it, like when a horse is charging at my face? Should I throw both of my javelines now, at the begning of the fight, or should I save them for the end of the round when we're chasing down that one, naked delaying guy/bitch? Can I even hit that HA with my throwing-lance-of-doom, or should I wait until he gets closer?

And by increasing accuracy, throwers will actually be able to make these decisions with good heart, because they'll be sure they can actually hit what they're throwing at.

For those dedicated throwers, I think thrown weapons should be a bit cheaper. If they would only be getting 2-3 shots per slot, then they shouldn't have to pay as much as they do now. Nobody shouldn't be able to play the way they want, if that way is fair to other players.

tl;dr: More accuracy, so throwers can actually aim. Less ammo and more time between throws, so throwers won't spam. Less damage, so throwers won't cause rage with so many 1 shot kills. Appropriatly cheaper thrown weapons, so dedicated throwers won't be paying for 4 darts when they'll only have two per slot. Or three per slot. Someone else come up with the number, I don't throw much.

I like the idea. It would add more tactical trows and less chaos

This is actually a really interesting idea, I think. So if a battle is fought, neither side can see who has signed for the other side (on the battle list) - just how many. It would mean more chances for intrigue and backstabbing allies or tactical stuff.

And then in the actual battle their identities can be secret, as Sultan Eren said - just (random example) Fallen_Mercenary_1. The whole idea is that players are representing random mercenaries anyway, isn't it?
Though I don't know if that would be possible. It'd be interesting - for example a secret Merc contract would actually be secret this way. Of course the hiring faction would have to be able to see the real names in order to pay accordingly and hire the right people.
And for those who want to see their K/D, it would show up in the battle history like it did before.

So the faction fighting would have their names revealed, while mercenaries from outside their faction wouldn't. Maybe make it optional for allies who want to demonstrate their loyalty, and for others who want to improve their reputation as a mercenary.

I think this is a really good idea

Bot axes and javelins are realy short and they dont do much dmg in secondary mode so you should carry a real weapon

I used gothic plate for 1 day and once got killed by 1 (one) throwing axe in the chest. Usually it took 2-3.

In my medium armor (46 ba) i easily get onehit by jarids, two hit by throwing axes  and all sorts of other crap flying around. If a throwing weapon is less powerfull (shurikens, daggers) , than it's fast as fuck and can stunlock you anyway. And don't even make me count how many times my horse (heavy sarranid) has been 1hit by throwing weapons of all sorts.

Hardly, must be 10+ PT, not sure if even that should do it when you are in gothic. Maybe you got  hit in the head but it looked like you got hit in the chest, the axe model is fcked up. Also i see people with axes sticking out of their heads all the time.
