THROWING HAMMERS

[Overdriven]

Archery - Strong bow is now Horn Bow.

[Senni__Ti]

guessing balanced no longer gives +1 speed

also it looks as if a couple of 1hs lost some stats like the scimitars lost some reach i think

Heavy lance now looks like a short great lance, HAs will now find their reticules are huge when moving

[Overdriven]

If I'm right about the stats:

MW Strongbow - MW Hornbow means -2 speed rating, -14 missile speed, -1 cut damage.

[SkyrayFox]

- Lordly (+3 Heirloomed) Armor: +1 body armor and +1 leg armor
- Throwing weapons: take only 1 slots now
- All Bolts: -2 Damage

[corto]

thats surely compensated by another change, 37 for the "rus bow" seems shitty 2 for a 2slot bow.

all in all bows are fucked up in case of realism - hornbow beats them all - except accuracy (same draw weight  ). but nomad and especially the Khergit are hornbows too, so theyre all same in overallperformance - design of is same except the recurves on the endings. what am i talking ? history is fine but not funny so we make our own world where a longbow is the "highest bow".

but if u look how close the bows are now in their missile speed, and just ranked from damage to drawspeed - i think it could be a nice change for archer duells.

Missile speed does look very grim. Not sure how that transfers into game play. Will have to wait and see.

[Kingtrisp]

My masterwork war cleaver has had  -1 speed  change

[justme]

- Lordly (+3 Heirloomed) Armor: +1 body armor and +1 leg armor

thats old..

[Momo]

SERIOUSLY!? Why nerf the MW Katana speed??!?!?!?!?! it has only 17 fucking pierce and 38 cut dmg already when it's mw'd. 103 was just fucking fine for the MW...

[Keshian]

The lordly armor wasn't changed - still +7 to both leg and body (+4 if lighter armors).
Handaxe was 0 slot before this patch.

Miaodao - -1 speed, 3x loomed -1 speed (so -2 speed overall)
Accuracy of warbow increased by 3 to 101
Accuracy of Longbow increased accuracy by 1 to 97
Fighting axe length reduced by 6 to 84

[BcBKC]

99% of lordly body/gloves/leggings were +3 before this patch. The lordly on helmets was 2 and is now correctly 3 to match the others.

All swords lost +1 speed on the balance heirloom.
Miaodao lost 1 speed on top of the heirloom -1 speed.
Great long axe +1 speed and -1 cut.
Elite Scimitar -1 cut.

[Christo]

"Huscarl Shield - 1 slot"
