Try using the same weapons we use, if you want the same difficulty we have when facing each other.
A lot of clans use a bunch of OP weapons, purely because they are OP lol. We used the gimped stuff, because it's awesome
I'm probably the only person in NA using the hafted blade right now. It isn't a great weapon, but it looks cool, and I do fine with it.
I mean we already understand that longswords are better than katanas, and a lot of armors out spec strange armor, etc. And that ranged and throwing demolishes us lol. We just picked a theme and roll with it. I can beat myself with European weapons and armor too, doesn't make me better than myself.
Would be really cool to start seeing more theme based clans though. When I was a noob I imagined that Chaos would be a bunch of barbarian looking dudes with mainly axes.
