Make all long weapons non-sheathable

Make all 2h weapons above 110 range and all polearms above 135 unsheathable (as a rule of thumb, those with heavy head would be non-sheathable even with slightly less reach, think 120) and made all of them (except those really long ones who should take 2, starting from say 181 length and flamberge) take 1 inventory slot.

Make all 1h swords above 100 range take up 2 inventory slots.

This change would decrease power level of cavalry, as their weapon selection will be thinned down.

No. All weapons shorter than the height of the carrier should be sheathable. It's pretty easy to attach a metal ring to a weapon in order to carry it on your back using a simple leather strip. Or you could attach the leather strip directly to the weapon.

Fine, then do new animation for such attaching that take a lot more time to perform and i'm fine with it too. Without it, my point stand still.

Why decrease the power of cavalry in the first place?

I'd like to see some video evidence of just how 'easy' it is to draw a 1.2 meter long weapon using such a device, rather than merely taking your word for it.

Its possible to put pretty big weapons on the back. One just needs two leather straps on the back and you can put a giant sword in it. Problems occur when the weapon on your back can scrape in the ground, then one cant carry it on the back.

Realistic argument are irrevelant, it's a game, nothing is really realistic.
In terms of balance, the change made by devs are imo good now.

Btw in a realistic way, someone on a horse would have more slots, as he can put many weapon on his horse...

Changes are merely steps in good direction. In terms of balance, it would be better if cavalry would not carry glavies or glb on their backs, or greatswords.

Simple: all it takes is a roll of duct tape, a packet of cigarets, Vaseline, 6 wooden pegs and a fresh banana and you can carry that poleaxe on you back.

BS, it is completely impractical for almost all polearms, not to mention extremely cumbersome. Flagging all large polearms and several of the 2H will be good for the game.

....really? A leather strap is impractical? Thats same kind of mindset of people who think they absolutely must have an asparagus peeler.

I disagree and I've gotten more negative awesome points from the cavalry community than most anyone  :!:
