Chinese 1H swords make no sense

[Tai Feng]

I am not talking only about the realism thing - China and India being superpowers in this period (although waning), while their Mount n Blade stats are Zulu-like.

If we take a look at Chinese 1H weapons they just make no sense.


1. The best Chinese 1H sword in the game, as sucky as it is, is *a civilian sword*. Also, post-period (Mount n Blade) weapon - something like 18th century according to wiki.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niuweidao

2. Liuyedao is a sword from post-MnBlade period. It doesn't even fit in the game (then again some other items don't either). But unlike other post-period items, this one sucks in stats. It also has no thrust, although according to wikipedia it should (although weaker one), but instead it should have better swing. Which in game it does not, it's average.

3. Yanmaodao also, according to wikipedia, should have some thrust, and it's post-period weapon.



Any chance that skin is saved and weapons renamed to something else and useful? Shik can't you lobby a bit ;)

Even I don't use these weapons and don't intend to, and I've Chinese-themed char. I really doubt anyone else is using it either but I'll stand corrected if that's not the case.

Yes, buff the chinese sabers plz!

Yes, buff the chinese sabers plz!

Or at least rename to 13th century swords. How can I, as Imperial Guard, use Niuweidao when wikipedia nicely says "it was primarily a civilian weapon, as Imperial troops were never issued it." I am therefore physically unable to use it.

We need the jian for that

[Ninja_Khorin]

I agree.

Pfft would anyone use a max 80 length sword with 1kg in our crpg?

[serpus]

There are already katanas and ninjas stars, along with a whole suit of samurai armor.... I don't see what more you can be asking for.

Item stats in game don't really reflect real stats. For example, Pike length of 245 doesn't indicate 2,45 meters.

For ability to read and comprehend, also, intelligent life in the universe. I'm an optimist.


(Of course, optimism is just self-defense mechanism. Reality is harsh and cruel, as you yourself demonstrate.)

ehm.... wiki is not a real source, it's place for people who think they know something to write stuff they think they know.

Anyone can write anything anytime.

And nothing in CRPG is historically correct

Chinese weapons as opposed to Japanese, to be honest.

[Smiling Daemon]

Yeah I'd like to see some better Chinese themed weapons too, the ones available are subpar.

Also agreed that they need a stab, not a matter of preference but IRL people do stab with them.

[Xant]

remove china from the game, i can't stand the drugs

[Tai Feng]

Can we please stay ontopic..

If you can write better quality posts on wiki, with more knowledge - go ahead. I somehow doubt that's the case. What are your qualifications?

If you can post a better more accurate source go ahead. Stating that wiki may not be 100% accurate in so many articles it has - does not help any discussion at all. Wiki is the easiest to quote, and usually very much correct (and this comes even from some teachers).
I've seen history books with incorrect data. Brittanica also has incorrect data. And so what. None of these invalidates such material as a good reference, until proven otherwise.

Wikipedia is generally as accurate of a encyclopedia as any other, saying it's a bad source is a bit silly, to put it lightly.

Those sabers are awesome 1h weapons. Im using a Niuweidao and it's a killer.
