I am not 100% sure about this but I think that item balancing is affecting and overriding historical facts sometimes slightly in crpg. Just sake of balancing, that is.

[Chasey]

The Byzantium should aim for Historical accuracy of their weapons.

We dont control what stats go on the items.

You do control the length stat, which is the only thing he's complaining about, just sayin'.

The length of Paramerion is way off.And Spathion is not even  one handed weapon.It seems that both weapons were created specific for your clan but historically are incorrect and in favor Byzantium style of play (shield +sword).

I see,byzantium is the only clan with shielders, there are no 1h/shielders in other clans or without any clan?

Also, why should the katana be longer? 95 is withing the given lenghts

[Korgoth]

No one in Byzantium makes the weapons. Zimke does. We don't control the stats, thats whoever in the cRPG dev team.

Also in what world is every sword exactly the same size?
I'm not sure about this but is the length stat in CMs?

Paramerion and Spathion are Byzantium weapons.

Katana should have the average length.

where does it say spathion is used 2h?  it says double edged not double handed?

I think  is in cm from what it look likes.Did anyone from Byzantium noticed the historical incorrectness of both swords?

[Korgoth]

This seems like a Buff Katana Thread in disguise...

Wow the sword is 9CM too long. OP SHIT MAN.

Medieval Blacksmiths didn't have fucking blueprints. Not all swords of the same type were exactly the same size...

[Ninja_Khorin]

You know. I've heard a lot of suggestions in my time about increasing katana length and I'm against it.

I like the niche katana is in. Making it longer, it's just another bastard sword. What I enjoy is trying out different weapons, which means different playstyles. Which is why I dislike any balance suggestion that decrease the diversity of the gameplay.

You are right man.there is no info if its one handed or two handed

the word Spathion-Spathi-Xiphos is very ordinary word for a sword."There were many sword (xiphos) types; straight, curved, one- and two-handed, which are depicted in illustrations."

95 is the small katana version used..Myamoto Musashi had a longer version of katana of 110 cm..
Thats why i believe 100 cm is a good katana length

The weapons mentioned in the OP weren't crafted adhering to rigidly fixed lenghts historically; variety herein was common despite period trends.
