How many weapons?!

How many weapons can a unit have?!

**Simetrical** · 08-29-2005, 21:15

Two.

**vastator** · 08-29-2005, 21:20

Yep, two - if the unit has a missile weapon, that has to be the primary.

**edyzmedieval** · 08-29-2005, 21:27

Can I modify so it can have 3 or more?

**Simetrical** · 09-02-2005, 05:19

No. That was rather the question, wasn't it?

**edyzmedieval** · 09-02-2005, 07:38

Yeah

But, is it hardcoded?!

I´m wondering, can any unit have two weapons (provided the model has two) or is that restricted to some types of units, like ranged and cavalry? Phalanxes don´t really have two weapons, the spear they get automatically when the unit is given phalanx ability.

The basic restrictions are hardcoded. There are only 2 sets of weapon stats allowed, and 2 defined weapon names. Phalanx is a hardcoded feature that ...er...does what it does!

Don't let things limit you TOO much though... I have made a unit which uses TWO swords as it's primary weapon. It's purely cosmetic, but if you ramp up the attack stats a little, it does the same thing. All you need to do is attach a 'dummy' weapon to the other hand. You might end up tweaking the attack anims a bit...but you might not need to
