I would like to see different types of axes or sword + scythe + ax + dagger + hammer + club or something in the same unit :). You can't really do anything with spearmen since they iddn't have differently shaped weapon heads back then.

Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

Re: Different Weapons
Did they have any approaching the variety of multi-purpose weapon heads that was seen during the medieval period? I'm not aware that they did have multiple unique looking weapon tips. Maybe some various agricultural equipment attached to spears. If you can find enough examples for each faction, that would be wonderful for gameplay. Pantodapoi with all sorts of spear tips would be awesome.
Of course you would see many different ones across factions, but how many can you find for one faction that would look different enough to warrant different art?

Re: Different Weapons
Let's just say that there's a genuinely amazing number of forms in which the basic "leaf-shape" spearhead can be executed. I've seen thin ones, broad ones, lenticular ones, "spined" ones, "wasp-waisted" ones, triangular ones, rhomboid ones, virtually straight-sided ones... all from a period of mere few centuries. And then there's the javelin versions on top of that.
And at least the Celts sometimes made their speareads wavy.

Re: Different Weapons
That'd be pretty sweet to see in EBII though it would screw up anything with a secondary weapon. :)

Re: Different Weapons
I don't understand your last sentence.
We have different variants of the same weapon type within a single unit (ex: different swords, different spearheads, different spear lengths, etc) and no secondary weapon is screwed up.

Re: Different Weapons
... Wait, MIITW can do different weapons? I was talking about using the Armor system to achieve that because I wasn't aware that you could do it with weapons as well. Good news all in all.
