Should have a CHA check for the battle of the wills, not INT. Would be funnier.

Now if you could only expand the amount of spears you can bear with a shield...
The spear+ shield combo is so sub-optimal, which contradicts its popularity in ancient Greece/Rome.

Its not about the block, but about the the underwhelming selection of one handed spears and the fact that hasta is a sub-optimal weapon.
I can have my fun with and without a shield, i just bring a sword/hammer/dagger/axe/crossbow/pillium instead.
Doing 0 damage on those free attacks with a hasta is quite meaningless. On the other hand the other spears are great.

Yeah, I know how you feel. I did a shield and hasta drifter playthrough and I was pretty bad at combat. I used the thief guild in that playthrough:

I remember getting pissed with this ending because I had been promised a lot by Levir. But then again, my char was a kind of a dick and not really bright so...

Pretty happy to hear that too :) Having choice of only one 1-handed spear always upset me.
Any other requests to consider while we're at it?

Weapon or armor, must use the existing model and mechanics (i.e no halberds or straight two-handers).

Crossbow bolts you can stab with? Works as daggers, with a penalty to hit, but can apply effects like they would on a crossbow.



That reminds me, someone tell me how to get the unique 2-handed hammer.

You are correct RhodokMasterRaceOfficial. Its a steel sledgehammer and somewhat underwhelming if you have 8 in crafting.
About the Sarissa, wasn't it freaking huge and unsuited for fighting solo?

I miss my attic helmet with red horse hair. It would be cool if we could pick a colour while crafting.
I remember armours used to be more colourful in some ancient screenshots.

Edit 2:
Now thats my kind of carnival:

Obviously a katana with a matching stat sheet, here, I had one prepared somewhere...

Also Clouds sword as a unique.
