Mod: Blademaster Era (V1.05)

By the way, Uninspired, please don't regret that you made this mod, it's a great idea and I hope we get more diversity in weapons and other areas of Dom3. There are things that can be done just as you have envisioned them, it's just perhaps unfortunate that you settled on the name Katana, since that means a certain very specific thing used in a very specific way. I do appologise, I think perhaps my third post was more negative than I ever intentioned, and I hope it hasn't in any way put you off what certainly should be an interesting and useful mod.

I definitely don't regret making this. Just the claw, because I ran out of ideas. If nothing else, it gave me good practice messing with the existing sprites, and I do plan on expanding on it. I still have one weapon reserved for a national hero.

I really do appreciate the constructive criticism.

No problem, it's my pleasure. I've got a brain filled to the brim with useless and semi-useless information, and this forum is a great outlet for that. I've forgotten a lot of what I used to know about weapons, but if you've got any questions, I'll be happy to answer them to the best of my ability.
One area in Dom3 which I think has a great deal of untapped potential is that of passive position-denying weapons, namely caltrops and other such items. Especially in a magic-rich environment, one where-for mysterious reasons known only to the gods!!! (quewe background thunder gag) there are no field defenses or field artillery, you could expect this to be a fast-paced business. I can see various creatures, constructs, spells, and weapons filling this gap. Tien'chi has the right idea with their pikes, but imagine chariots with pikes mounted on the front and a couple of small ballistas mounted above those, and a reinforced roof made from soaked hides above those to deal with fire, acid, and lightning bolts, and whatever else fell out of the sky. It'd look a little ridiculous, until you had to deal with a few hundred of them, parked and guarded by hoburgs with spears and little pistol-crossbows, and it wouldn't even require magic.
