Oh you wanna mess something up with a messer. Felch them with a falchion Which should be available in KCD...
Your definitely not after gross messers, fyi. Those are two handers. But they'd probably work pretty damn nice against the Cumans http://www.kultofathena.com/product... Steel Grosse Messer - Man at Arms Collection https://www.sword-buyers-guide.com/gross-messer.html
Other good weapons to use to hack at armored opponents are falchions. Here are some real world options of quality, on the cheap, all based on the same historical example: http://www.kultofathena.com/product.asp?item=501508&name=Windlass Battlecry! - Hattin Falchion http://www.kultofathena.com/product.asp?item=OSW42S&name=German Falchion - circa 1500
I'm really struggling to figure out how I want to outfit myself... Hammer and shield with a side sword? Poleaxe? Epee de Guerre? Longsword?
So I started to preload as soon as it was available and now about 18 hours later, it is still telling me I have about 2.5 days left to download. Damn slow Iraqi internet. Maybe in 3 days I will be able to play, unless they come out with another massive patch, then add on another day.
Forsooth, music doth strike me so egregiously, indubitably it is like unto make me exclaim, 'Ach, mein Gott'
For one handed single bladed weapons a kopis or falcata would be a good idea. They are primarily slashing and cutting weapons though but because of the style of blade they hit with a good deal more force then a regular style sword. I'm most likely going polearm or spear and shield with a mace as backup. Or I may go long sword and bow.
I'm positive they didn't have raid to kill roaches, flies, and mosquitoes back then so yeah.. There should be bugs everywhere....
