Re: Weaponary of Nusantara
A caution warning about lethality: it's a bitch to balance. I would say use lethality to differentiate weapon type like projectiles versus good weapons versus simple peasant weapons, don't use it for slashing/piercing/blunt. Also, the type of skeleton you use will also determine "lethality" as some skeletons attack faster than others. The fastest is fs_2handed, then fs_swordsman, then fs_dagger, then fs_spearman. So use lethality if you don't want, say, a simple dagger-wielding peasants pwning a spearmen unit (assuming their attack and armor are close).

I've started work on a scimitar model (it's not finished so it'll be a bit chunky) and I'm wondering if it's accurate enough or if I should scrap it in favor of a mre historical design

Re: Weaponary of Nusantara
that one looks like Parang from borneo. I don't know about their usage in our mod. better keep it. just in case that used.
btw, you did fine modelling!
Re: Weaponary of Nusantara
thanks :)
can someone post an accurate image of the kind of scimitar that the mod will need?

Oh yeah, we could use your weaponary before, the Jungle tribes in Sumateran central lands used them too, maybe they are useful for "Anak Dalam Mercenary / Prajurit Suku Hutan"

The sentences are:
a) Tawakkaltu 'alallah (Trust in Allah)
b) Innallaha yukhlifu (raihan)?
c) Innallaha 'ala kulli ????
I cannot read (b) and (c) very well. Can you all read (hmm, Sonic, Plutoboyz, Gamegeek) ? It can be our MOD quotes....
Rattan shield with metal (bronze? copper?) plate at center
