Barbarian infantry "aesthetics" & weapon variation

[Prince of Judah]

Is it possible to have a unit in which some units wield spears and some swords and axes? Is it possible t have separate stats for each weapon property? Since the barb troops run into slugs fests more than organized tactics would it be possible to have different weapon animations in the same unit?

well I know the same guys in unit can have all different sorts of spear-ish weapons at once, or have a variety of knives and swords, but, even though I could be wrong...I think the entire unit must have the same anims so...

I believe you are right. They could have diff weapons but only 1 animation. Currently some of the barbarian units in IB2 wield axes and swords at the same time but only use 1 animation. It would be hard to have an animation that would work with a lance and at the same time with an axe.

I know that some barbarains swung their spears sometimes, but it would still not be right looking for them to be used like wrods or vice verca. though it would be freaking awesome to have a bawlwer unit made up of guys with all sorts of different weapons and their appropaite anims, it would really convey the chaos of the mellee well.
