You know I used to be a sword guy... then I looked around the internet and gathered info... now I'm an axe/warhammer/mace person. Swords are just plain pointless against a decent armor. Only a suicidal idiot would have picked a sword to fight a heavily armored opponent.
As a matter of fact knights had it as their prefered weapon cause it was most effective against unarmored rebelling peasants
.
Basically I have been converted to axewielder (just like the song from Stormwarrior :wink: ), on that note I also found out axes truly are crushing weapons :shock: . The theory apparanetly is to focus crushingpower in an edgeshaped weapon, really effective as proven how it cleaves and dents armor that could stop a crossbowbolt and even an early muskets bullet :shock: .
Anyway looking forward to cleaving skulls when I finally get the game tomorrow (I swear Belgium is the most retarded country for gaming...)
