Well, the Paramerion and Spathion have pretty mediocre stats compared to NCS or KAS.  Maybe they ought to be mixed up a bit.

What? Both lose 1 speed for a stronger stab and para gets 1 extra reach.

If you can't handle the Katanas reach, get more athl. or your not worthy of using the Katana.

I did a bit of historical research.About the length of the specific swords.This is what i found

Paramerion is at 94 cm."The tenth century Sylloge tacticorum gives the length of this kind of sword as the equivalent of 94 cm and mentions a new saber-like sword of the same length, the paramerion, a curved one-edged slashing weapon for cavalrymen. "Crpg lenght is at 103

Spathion is at ?? cm."According to the Strategika, by the sixth century the short Roman gladius had been abandoned in favor of a long two-edged sword, the spathion, used by both the infantry and cavalry."Spathion in Crpg is listed as one handed with 102 length

Katana is at 90-124cm."Most styles use a katana handle length from 10 to 12 inches long .  Some use longer handles up to 16 inches long.
(1 inch=2.54cm).  By the late 16th century, the average katana blade length is  approximately at 73 cm  "Crpg  length is at 95

My suggestion

Paramerion length should be at 95

Katana should be at least at 100 length

Spathion is a 2h ordinary Xiphos-Spathi-Sword

The Byzantium should aim for Historical accuracy of their weapons.

As always kisses and love to everybody

spatha is a one handed sword with blade lenght around 80cm which served as base design for very widespread arming sword and has absolutely no connection to xiphos or any other greek weapons. it was used by cavalry and infantry that needed longer reach due to barbarians and other foes of roman empire using longer infantry sidearms.

seriously? it is a curved blade with already over-the-top speed rating. i dont think it needs any buff.

I'm sure the spathion and paramerion are cavalry weapons, so shortening them takes its purpose away.

On the grand scale of Dwarven global threat assessment, Acre is currently ranked pretty low. Just slightly below Yoshis and factions that no longer exist.
