"2 Weapons per unit limitation" should be removed !

Good god man, modding to make it more than 2 weapons? That's like asking me to eat 20 hotdogs in under 1 minute! I would explode.

I didn't said it should be modded. I said the nobles of the community :smily: should together ask CA to make a patch for M2TW to make it more than 2 weapons. Surely it is not possible to mod it ,Because it is hardcoded !

I don't think so mate. CA easily makes patches for each versions of its games. Making a patch to just cahnge such a little thing should not be that difficult and time consuming for them !

do troops from then actuely carried more than 2 weapons? other than the dagger roman had...

Yes, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, much so.

I'm not saying they don't make patches, I'm saying that it would require a very big change in the coded architecture of the game. From what little I know of coding, I imagine that its quite deeply imbedded, not to mention the fact that so many things would need to change. I mean, how would the AI deal with this?

No, I have no doubt that such a thing would not be changed for this engine.

OK Foot ,Thanks for response :)
I didn't think about the AI side of the matter. Yes it would be time consuming ! But I'm wondering why CA didn't implemented this feature for M2TW? Maybe they less care about the quality of the game and just looking for quick-more profit these days ... Perhaps !

Again I really worry about Armored horse achers Like Partho/Armenian ones in EB2? Have you found any solution for them?

Thanks again

I imagine they didn't have any reason to give units three weapons, and there is no reason to put a lot of work in to coding it just for a small group of modders.

Except what we already have, nope. But then you shouldn't really be using any cav unit in melee for long periods of time so its not too bad.

Seeing how carrying three weapons (spear, sword/axe, dagger) is somewhat historical, CA won't do it hehe

They aren't even working on the M2:TW engine anymore. Like Foot said, it would probaby require a lot of work to change something like this.

You could always go start a thread in the Empires sub-forum. CA devs go in there on occasion.

It's early enough that they might listen.
