so theres new posibilitys with this new break through? is there any chance in the intrest of the third age mod that, you can now combine orc bands consiting off swords/sheilds with spears/sheilds or even maces/sheilds in one battalion?

or is this still limited ?

**Incan** · January 09, 2011, 01:29 PM

oh gotcha, well to answer im like 99% sure that it allows for custom settlements only nothing with units

Im fairly sure you can have many different types of weapons in a unit it would just create supper units, ie a unit that was effective against cavalry and armour peircing.

my thoughts to i was just thinking of more like rabbal being more rabel like with scrap weapons like imo orcs would be in that less orginised fasion

Like a unit with spears, clubs, axes, and pitchforks that didn't get a bonus against anything?

It is possible to give a unit many different kinds of weapons; But all different weapons count just as one type of weapon.

exactly

you can make up to about five different weapon models for one unit I believe, so you could model their weapons to LOOK like clubs, hatchets, spears, swords etc. BUT as already mentioned, in the game stats the whole unit would have to be assigned one weapon type.

so the addition of different weapons would be purely cosmetic
