Only 300, Reinhardt? That's the same price as a Long Dagger...I'm insulted!

Not in a clan, love banner balance. Please keep/return it.

I like it. Would be interesting to see more daggers being used by ninja/assassin style characters.

+1 to Wooki for taking this very gracefully and maturely.

My one-hander/polearm/throwing/shielder/lancer hybrid:

Level 31
Strength: 18
Agility: 18

Power Strike: 6
Shield: 5
Athletics: 5
Riding: 5
Power Throw: 5
Weapon Master: 6

One Handed: 105
Polearm: 100
Throwing: 100

I have about six different builds that I play with this character, all Greek/Macedonian/Diadochi based.

Peltast
War Darts or Javelins, Elite Cav Shield, Balanced Niuweidao

Hoplite
War Spear or Double Sided Lance, Huscarl Shield, Balanced Niuweidao

Phalangite
Bamboo Spear, Heavy Round Shield, Balanced Niuweidao

Hypaspist
War Spear or Double Sided Lance, Huscarl Shield, Balanced Niuweidao, Javelins or Throwing Spears

Prodromoi
Light lance, Elite Cav Shield, Javs, Balanced Niuweidao, Courser

Kataphractos
Heavy lance, Elite Cav Shield, Balanced Niuweidao, Cataphract Horse

I would really like to be able to throw in archery to be able to be a Cretan Archer, but I haven't really found a practical way to do it, so I'm settling for a three weapon hybrid.

I think the damage is pretty good, although as Warcat pointed out, if anything, it could stand to be a bit higher.

I don't know about removing throwing lances entirely, but I would love to see pila in the game.

Haven't used it in cRPG, but in Native, the heavy bastard in particular was suprisingly effective in one-handed mode. It has a reach advantage over most one-handers, and people seemed to find the different timing hard to adjust to. Not sure how that would translate over to cRPG, but it might be worth a try.

the most importand thing of all numbers and facts is : F U N ....

This.

But I just heirloomed my Niuweidao for the the second time, and I absolutely love it...in my opinion, best one-handed sword in the game. Just a thought.

As long as it's still pretty special to see a thrower at the topscore list with a very good kd ratio I'd say it's fine as it is.

This. I regularly play with around four guys who use throwing lances, and I've seen one of them top the scoreboard...maybe once? They're definitely not overpowered, given how easy they are to sidestep. Leave well-enough alone.

Closed Requests / Re: Permanent Ban Request: Balton (Poll Inside)

Thankfully, cRPG is hosted on private servers. This means it is only the owners own damn business to decide whom to allow (and whom to deny) playing on their servers.

This is basically what I was saying, in a nutshell. Balton and now Boru seem to enjoy trying to read into what was originally a simple observation on Ludwig's comment.
