Longsword is practically the same on horseback as the two handed sword so you would see no difference. Blunt weapons just seem really out of place on horseback. There's only one non cut two hander I believe and that's the Morningstar, which is really short and puts you in danger close situations. Also Morningstar sucks with a shield its speed and damage gets gimped immensely.
i have played longSword , bastardSword(HBsword), greatAxe..etc 2h cavalry for 6 month, although 2h cavalry is hard survived than 1h cavalry but i still love it, and it's time to add diversity of 2h cavalry.Also i guess you never played 2h cavalry:
morningStar is suffer the same penalty with shield or not , only different on using different WPF.Same as longSword, bastardSword(HBsword).
They already stretched it by letting the Persian battle axe, and others like it, to be used on horseback, even though it's slow and it's short. But we don't need anymore weird/OP weapons on horseback.
persian battle axe is slow and short , so usable on horseback ?
let's see below:
Great Axe
weapon length: 96
weight: 3.2
difficulty: 15
speed rating:
94weapon length:
96thrust damage: 0 pierce
swing damage:
46 cutslots: 2
Unbalanced
Bonus against ShieldLong Iron Mace
weapon length: 95
weight: 4.5
difficulty: 14
speed rating:
92weapon length:
95thrust damage: 20 blunt
swing damage:
33 bluntslots: 2
Can't use on horseback
Unbalanced
Knockdown
GreatAxe is absolutely win LongIronMace in all but still can be used on horsback.
Yes , yes, i know you will say:"no matter speed, length ,and damage, they are shit.
2 handed blunt weapons which can knock down SHOULD NOT be used on horseback!!!"
It has knockdown, that's why.
let's see:
Mace
weapon length: 70
weight: 2
difficulty: 8
speed rating: 98
weapon length: 70
thrust damage: 0 pierce
swing damage: 28 blunt
slots: 1
Knockdownthis guy can be used on horseback even it is blunt weapon and have knock down tag!!
I actually don't care if the two handed sword were to be used on horseback, but it would make it the longest weapon on horseback. So that is a deciding factor.
i guess you never play 2h cavalry(it's really fun, try it)
Practice Longsword
weapon length: 117
weight: 1.5

they are both can be used on horseback and longer than twoHandedSword.
In conclusion, we dont have any reason to forbid studded warclub, long iron mace, two handed sword on horseback, and they are exactly so so much rare in battlefield , and for the main reason, diversity of game , we should really allow it used on horseback . please devs.
