[Stats] Remove 'not useable on horseback' flag from Great Axe

[Casimir]

bar mace usable on horse again i say.

Anyway why the hate on 2h cav from all these haters, its hardly op and is barely used

There's no reason for great axe not to be used on horse back tbh, although imo morningstar is your best choice even if its now overused.


Also, flamberge is already usable from horseback, just no attacks are available.

Try it yourself.

in truth real spears are slow weapons

So very epicly wrong.  Very very very wrong.

yea it is, even read about the real awlpike

 Awlpike(IRL description)-
Also known just as a "pike" and a Morris pike (corruption of Moorish), this is an infantry spear raning from 16 to 22 feet in length.  Awl Heads are usually leaf- or lozenge shaped.  The pole is made of a strong wood, such as ash.  Many pike heads are made with two tongues of steel, nailed down the sides of the shaft in order to prevent the head from getting hacked off.   The grip is often bound with cloth and the butt capped in steel to prevent the shaft from splitting.  The awl pike has the DUBIOUS distinction of being the SLOWEST polearm available.  add this to its MEDIOCRE damage against man-sized opponents, and one is left with a weapon of QUESTIONABLE VALUE, except when used EN MASSE on the battlefied.


INGAME= ridonkulous awesome dueling 1v1 weapon of death, plus hell you have 2 pike users, oh shit no one can stop u now lol (like IRL, o wait you'd get raped IRL with only 2 slow ass unwieldy pikes that do poor damage)

IRL= slow ass poor damage weapon, only useful in large formations(we're talking 4 rows deep, the real advantage of "long spear" type weapons, total suck in 1v1 due to slowness, bad damage)

You should probably just go make your own thread about this instead of continuously hijacking this one...


On topic, I agree with the OP, and add the long iron mace and bar mace to horseback while you're at it! I'd love to use a long iron mace from horseback, if only for the looks.

The in game awlpike has nothing to do with that description of yours. 16 to 22 feet is 4.9 to 6.7 meters. The in game pike is 3 meters (assuming weapon length is in cm) and is the slowest polearm in game. It also sucks in duels. So do you want to change that pike to a 500-700 length awlpike to make it more realistic? Even if that happened the devs would just rename the current awlpike to short pike or something..

The awlpike looks quite real to me...

I especially like the part where he says "If you bet on the french... you lost"
