    Default Cimbri changes

    I have been pondering the Cimbri for atime and I cannot find anything of Iron age two-handed axes, clubs, and things like that. This and other things I have been reading up on and I think some changes might need to be considered.

    First, two-handed axes were not know to the Cimbri in our time frame. Can anything be done about this on the Teutones heavy Axemen, giving them a one-handed axe and shield also?

    Second, the metal crowns of the Cimbri foot noble are not thought to have been battle gear, primarily ornamental and religious things. Can the spaces in the crown be filled in and be changed to a leather helmet or, befitting their rank, a metal cap?

    Third, the club of the bear warriors. The clubs that come to us from this time are one handed, smaller, and their wielders carry shields. Can this be changed?

    Thats about it. I do not know if any of this can be done, but I figured I should post this and see what is discussed about making some historical based changes to the faction

    Much as I'd love to enable this to happen, to be honest, I just don't have the energy to change yet another load of stuff.

    If other help was forthcoming, I'd be more likely to be able to consider this.

    Right.
    Look into the Barbarian Cimbri info. On factions list.
    I will look for it when i get some time.
    There is no evidence, except they would grab, steal, or make all types of weapons to bring into the fight. We really have no clue except from reports from their enemies. From one handed axes with shields and without. Since their numbers were in the 100,000's- they would use what they had from the enemies their conquered.
    Two handed axes we don't have much on that, or metal caps. Since time and decay took the facts. From what artifacts remain we can only speculate.
    But I wouldn't dismiss a large two handed axe, or two handed clubs, rocks, tree limbs ect

    But very true Tone has done more his share.
    And there is still more to finish which he explained before.
