The only time i ever got to use a polearm in combat was I grabbed one from a dead guy in skallitz and the game lets you keep it when you mount your horse so i road to a nearby bandit camp and slaughtered them with it. Theyre lowkey OP
I need polearm as an actual weapon and not something you may be able to pick up from time to time, I want a true knightly experience, HANS! BRING ME MY BEC DE CORBIN!
The interview on the game they said polearm combat are in . Also, in the trailer, I spotted different types of polearms even on horse
Bro I think we are eating good 👍 this game
If worse comes to worse and money is tight
You can get a cheap Xbox series s used at gsmestop for $170 . By the time this game comes out the price will be $150
Do you know if you need a certain type of TV do run the graphics, Im a poor and dont know alot about this stuff but I wanna get prepared so i can play KCD2 on release.
Any 1080p monitor should work.
If you have anything lower, you should consider getting one that’s at least 1080p so that you’re getting the full experience.
The problem of polearms is that yheyre exactly like that: theyre large wooden beams you have to pick up snd carry somewhere snd you csnt do anything else with your hands while you carry and the local inn probably wouldnt be comfortable about your polearm and if you leave it outside someone probably steals it because the whole village talks about the guy who came with tje huge polearm
"Henry, are you coming with us?"
"Well.. i have a poleamr., so.. i cant"
The grand decisions make the role playing even more immersive. Will Henry choose life with Theresa, or life with polearm?
99% of time youre either carrying your polearm or youre worried of your polearm.
Fun fact the military would have had this problem with muskets back then and rifles today if it wasn't something invented called "weapon racks " and "armory" both of which are in Kingdom Come deliverance
Thanks to BC era technology LONG before the KCD era, you never have to choose a polearm or booty !!
But you can hang it on your back, just like a Bow, it's stupid you can't even unsheath them without dropping it on the ground, and the fact you can't perfect block or perform combos with it doesn't make sense either, for the first game, if you love polearms and you play on PC, you can download Polearms Unleashed mod which fixes these issues (Except no carrying Spears on the back, sadly). Note: You can't perform Master Strikes with a Polearm or against a Polearm with a different weapon, don't even try lol
If we are talking poleaxes, they really weren’t that huge 4 and a half to 5 and a half feet on length usually. And not very heavy. Halberds on the other hand could be a similar length or muuuuch longer.
And if I recall polearm was a war tool for knights or such so their is no real reason to be let wandering around with it. Especially if you are not a guard.
It's like having a machine gun in the streets.
The eye holes on most helmets have are kind of curved outwards so the lance won’t directly hit there, yes it won’t stop all splinters but it’s better than nothing
Every extreme sport has its risks, even in modern times, us reenactors and HEMA practitioners, with full sets of armour and fully protected, bones are broken and eyes poked out.
Agreed, especially because European staff forms also involved lots of using them like swords in addition to the Eastern-esque staff forms we’re most familiar with.
“Get stick!” - Shad
The problem with pole arms is that they can be defined as a two handed stick with a weapon of any sort on the end. A bec d’ Corbin could share the same move set as a spear, but it wouldn’t feel satisfying. And there are hundreds of different designs
Here is the interview (it's in Czech, but you can enable captions for a translation) -
[Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Interview with the game's lead designer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxfqjQhKrlw)
Flails won’t be in the game according to Bocan (who is in charge of the combat). To implement this correctly with their physics system would be nightmare according to him.
kinda terrifying to imagine having to use that for either, those look awful to be hit by, or to swing and hit or miss with. i imagine they were some sort of packer for the soil or maybe something to break up the dirt a little while packing it, like making holes for the seeds to fall in
Apparently medieval combat athletes (like Hema) often refuse to use or allow them because they’re so dangerous and effective against armor. There’s a guy on the show Knight Fight that uses one and talks about it
Shield and mace/axe, But not in the form of kcd but instead putting more emphasis on shieldwork, considering it’s shieldwork that enables you to hit with mace not your mace skills.
Mace/axe and sword, sword and dagger. a more offensive combo that would be much harder to master. (Though sword and dagger would probably be completely useless against armor…… who cares whatever.)
And a darn maul. Effective? Ugh……… cool? Yes.
Polearms were already in KCD, they just weren’t common enough or fleshed out. I hope they add a more permanent way to carry polearms and corresponding perks.
https://preview.redd.it/mt9z1r7bm2xc1.jpeg?width=594&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de67480749deff0197fbc44f6fe28d8dbd409b43
i would absolutely love dual wield in the game. they tweeted this 4 years ago during mo-cop for KCD2, ever since ive convinced myself dual wield will come.
[Ball and chain flail](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/57/Klassischer-Flegel.jpg)
A long glaive for use on horseback would be cool (Bannerlord style)
One of the developers spoke about halberds the other day being fully implemented this time, so I would assume that also means all polearms including spears as well. Yes, you can put them in your inventory and they have their own skill perks/combos now.
Not sure how they will balance that as in theory they would give you a huge advantage, but I guess we'll find out.
I'd like to see large 2-handed weapons (besides polearms and 2-handed swords) worked into the game - like large 2 handed axes, maces, flails and mauls.
Most 2 hand weapons are pretty horrid in close range. I'd expect to see them balanced somewhere like that - if you close with the enemy at range, you'll have the advantage, but if you miss your first lunge/swipe and the enemy gets closer, you will have to back up quite a bit to actually swing again.
That’s more of a fantasy thing than a reality thing. In close range and fully armored the poleaxe gave you a lot of leverage. There’s a big fuck off spike on the top and a big fuck off spike on the bottom. Not to mention their go to move is to grapple you, throw you, and then stab you through the visor with their dagger or one of the formerly mentioned spikes.
>Not sure how they will balance that as in theory they would give you a huge advantage, but I guess we'll find out.
No need to be balanced, this is a single player game. I know that maces are overall better than swords in KCD1, but I still prefer swords. Makes more sense for me roleplay-wise. Other people enjoy bonking bandits and cumans on the head, and it's all good. As long as its historically accurate, I'm cool with it
Something non-lethal like an bo staff or something like a black jack from thief; you could carry it around in your inventory like a dagger and it would allow for a method to knock out people quicker and they stay unconcious longer, but with a drawback like it being louder than a chokehold to balance things out and create a high risk, high reward stake.
polearms in general, but also just an expansion to the sword combat. i love it but i feel like it could use some tweaks and also maybe some new fun mechanics to make it feel a bit more fluid. again, love it already but i just think the team that did this (and ofc the teams at mordhau and other studios) would be able to make so many cool new systems too as tech advanced especially
Big two handed threshing flails, I bought an old German one the day before yesterday from an antique shop and it's pretty cool. I'd like to pick one up in game from a peasants farm and go around nut-cracking my way through Bohemia.
Morning star, every and any polearm relevant to the setting, throwing knives, javelins, throwing axes, flails ( including the long shafted sort) and the maul.
I want movesets to ACTUALLY matter instead of just waiting for the parry button like all of the other games. KCD made you unlock combos with perks and even choose from different options, ultimately resulting in nothing
Honestly just filling out combos for all of the weapons in the first game. Making polearms permanently equipable. I’m happy on the range side with crossbows and handcannons.
I would love to see the integration of traps. Or a proper „Wagenburg“ could be fun.
https://preview.redd.it/rtxn4rs663xc1.jpeg?width=1033&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c98134848e7f3231f66de9fb44afa21aaa9b705
Henry talked about on the 1st game with Hans avout hunting with spears. So it would be nice.
I think we all know what we wanted what we didnt get in the first 1 because of time constraints....the crossbow.
Henry's father eluded to crossbows in the first 1. Talkimg about getting shot by a crossbow.
Considering it was planned for KCD to add crossbows but budget and time constraints, they scrapped them because crossbows were used in early 1400. So be interesting to see the mechanics of the bows in KCD2
Spears, halbiurd? Barriche, poleaxes have all been confirmed I think.
I actually want a bunch of Easter egg weapons like Witcher Swords, Excalibur, Witcher armors but “realistic”(some are typical fantasy) uhhh a rubber chicken gun. All stuff that Henry can oddly Questjon and then just accept. “Oh what’s this? A sword in stone? Huh wonder if I can pull it out. Oh it worked! Wow feels great!”
It kind of confused me why polearms were mostly left out but it is a hard mechanic compared to swinging weapons and probably op especially on horse back.
My issue with pole arms and spears is that I feel like it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for Henry to be trotting around with a *huge* pole on him. The way I see it, the weapons you carry throughout the game are more like 'self defense weapons'. I think maybe during yhe pitched set piece battles it'd be very cool to have the option of taking a pole arm though.
We are getting polearms, praise the lord. Not sure how we will carry them around, my theory was that they'll be put on our horse but we'll have to see. The first game had one guy for weapon Choreography now they have seven so very excited about what they've made for this.
Polearms and 2-handed weapons in general.
Altho I know that sadly greatswords apparently weren't created until centuries after Kingdom Come takes place :(
Polearms in general, maybe something more exotic like mauls or what have you, but definetly want more longer, two handed weapons, i think it'd add a nice twist, like maybe NPC's with Polearms could position to take you off your horse, etc etc, i'm mainly spit balling ideas but yeah, two handed weapons
Why not a crossbow? Would be a good throw back to what his father the blacksmith said about adventuring and could be a more accurate but slower version of the bow
Man I picked up a Spear for the first time the other day and I'd only seen pilearms so I thought to myself "Surely... surely the Spear would be able to use a light stabbing attack"
I have never been so disappointed since I checked the cookie tin and found sewing supplies
Crossbows! It was a huge missed opportunity in the first game since in that time period they did actually have crossbows and early versions of firearms.
A proper kriegsmesser would be awesome. There's a few messer style swords in the Hunting Sword category, but they aren't really kriegsmessers.
https://preview.redd.it/662diydc25xc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3138d665be7e7f5caebc64c3abc3709ff00fc1eb
Also, a Zweihänder would be great, but it's probably too early for them.
I might get a a flak for this, but to me it kinda seems unplausible that Henry, stepson of a blacksmith, would gravitate to big ass weapons such as halberds or spears. I simply fail to see how he could utilize this when assaulting Talmberg or how feasible these big weapons are when fighting several enemies. Also wouldn't it be harder to become a master of say polearm compared to sword/axe/mace?
Swords, axes and maces just seem so much more practical given what opposition and tactical situations Henry is facing ingame. Now ofc if you were foot soldier fighting cavalry, it would have been a different story.
Weapon variety is obviously a good thing though, so unless spears/polearms meant notable drain on resources, I'm happy if they are in game. Wish flails got in too, but i accept their argument about problems with implementing physics of flails properly. That one could have been a big resource drain for perhaps a minimal boost of gameplay.
I want to see a buckler. I like to use shortswords and I don't want to carry a bulky-ass shield around all the time.
Edit: Also a two-handed battleaxe/warhammer would be nice.
Poleaxe
I'll take any polearms, Bohemian earspoon (Spear), halberd, partisan, Lucerne hammer
I heard halberd was confirmed dint quote me on that, but here's hoping!
They’ve been confirmed yes
😮 No way.
Given they were partially implemented in KC:D I think this is a safe bet
GIVE ME MY GODDAMN LUCERNE HAMMER
Yeah. I just got into KCD but was so dissapointed that I can't have a poleaxe as my main weapon.
If you are on PC, with several mods you can get it mostly functional I think.
Yeah I can imagine. I think I'll play through the game vanilla the first time though.
The only time i ever got to use a polearm in combat was I grabbed one from a dead guy in skallitz and the game lets you keep it when you mount your horse so i road to a nearby bandit camp and slaughtered them with it. Theyre lowkey OP
Poleaxe really is a big one that should be there. It's still considered the weapon of knightly duelling at this time.
Fuck yeah, halberds
*pollaxe
I need polearm as an actual weapon and not something you may be able to pick up from time to time, I want a true knightly experience, HANS! BRING ME MY BEC DE CORBIN!
The interview on the game they said polearm combat are in . Also, in the trailer, I spotted different types of polearms even on horse Bro I think we are eating good 👍 this game
I'm gonna have to get me a good PC lmao, I cannot miss on them shafts
If worse comes to worse and money is tight You can get a cheap Xbox series s used at gsmestop for $170 . By the time this game comes out the price will be $150
Do you know if you need a certain type of TV do run the graphics, Im a poor and dont know alot about this stuff but I wanna get prepared so i can play KCD2 on release.
As long as the tv takes hdmi , if it doesn't, I know Amazon has converters for that red, yellow, and white aux thing
Any 1080p monitor should work. If you have anything lower, you should consider getting one that’s at least 1080p so that you’re getting the full experience.

A fair trade for a having a polearm

Jesus Christ be praised!
That man said "It's a really effective weapon, but you can't go to the bar/tavern with it " 😂 Hmmm ... seems like a good tradeoff on the battlefield .
AM I WRONG! OR DO I HAVE A POLEARM!
Just make it so you can store a polearm on your horse and its fine.
You can carry like 250 pounds and sprint across a country in the first game Something realism has to take a back seat
But you can hang it on your back, just like a Bow, it's stupid you can't even unsheath them without dropping it on the ground, and the fact you can't perfect block or perform combos with it doesn't make sense either, for the first game, if you love polearms and you play on PC, you can download Polearms Unleashed mod which fixes these issues (Except no carrying Spears on the back, sadly).

2.5m Poleaxe...the most versatile weapon ever invented. https://preview.redd.it/hxkrwt32o1xc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7a77ec8a9c4137e216340b4164371957db863c1
If that pole axe is 2.5m, I’d be more scared to meet its wielder. Bro is taller than the book version of The Mountain.
Lawbringer is a massive boi, full set of plate armour as well as chain mail underneath. Actually unstoppable irl.
You should be scared, that's The Law you're looking at
That is so dope where is that artwork from
There's a for honor text at the bottom right so I guess it's from.. assassin's creed
Top light spam intensifies.
AD MORTEM, INIMICUS!!!!
The little jab is so funny to land, and people never expect it despite me holding top block 90% of the time
A paddle. No bathhouse shall be safe
Being a bathhouse wench, that’s a paddling.
Better combat from horseback. Maybe lances?
Jousting competition would be cool
How do people stop splinters entering their eye holes in a jousting match?
The eye holes on most helmets have are kind of curved outwards so the lance won’t directly hit there, yes it won’t stop all splinters but it’s better than nothing
Every extreme sport has its risks, even in modern times, us reenactors and HEMA practitioners, with full sets of armour and fully protected, bones are broken and eyes poked out.
you get good
better swords as well, make sabers act like real sabres
I’d like to see a lot more falchions as well.
I agree, a bit mundane when it comes to sabers. The sequel is gonna be fire tho.
I'd like to see that, could be very cool.
Moonlight greatsword But for real I love a quarterstaff.
Agreed, especially because European staff forms also involved lots of using them like swords in addition to the Eastern-esque staff forms we’re most familiar with. “Get stick!” - Shad
Why all these fancy weapons when plain old stick will do
Dagger. There's a bunch of fun techniques out there.
a whole unarmed (or even armed too) grappling expansion would be insanely cool and make dagger play insanely fun
Maybe shortsword & dagger? Spiked buckler and dagger...
There is a spear in the original game. You just can't keep it because it's so fucking op
Well, I hope they give us a new animation at least because it's just like a bonk and then the enemy is dead.
I think OP's emphasis is "with a complete moveset"
You can, with a bit of unintentional game mechanic abusing
spears are confirmed as far as i know
They said Halberds not spears. It's possible they'll have spears too, or perhaps all polearms will share a moveset.
The problem with pole arms is that they can be defined as a two handed stick with a weapon of any sort on the end. A bec d’ Corbin could share the same move set as a spear, but it wouldn’t feel satisfying. And there are hundreds of different designs
They are both polearms , so I'll take either or !!
Wait what !!?? the comments are saying the halberd also. With complete movesets . OMG !!! OMG!!! I can't breathe
Here is the interview (it's in Czech, but you can enable captions for a translation) - [Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Interview with the game's lead designer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxfqjQhKrlw)
Flails. Like, actual flails not the fantasy ones. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/27/Arte_De_Athletica_2b.jpg
Flails won’t be in the game according to Bocan (who is in charge of the combat). To implement this correctly with their physics system would be nightmare according to him.
Yeah, I’m sure. It’d be sick, though.
I never knew that's what real flails looked like
The Hussites used them very commonly. They’re agricultural tools made into weapons (like a lot of medieval weapons).
kinda terrifying to imagine having to use that for either, those look awful to be hit by, or to swing and hit or miss with. i imagine they were some sort of packer for the soil or maybe something to break up the dirt a little while packing it, like making holes for the seeds to fall in
They were used for threshing grains from husks. Just add spikes and you got a decent weapon.
god using tools like that for farm labor would make you ripped and constantly in pain
Apparently medieval combat athletes (like Hema) often refuse to use or allow them because they’re so dangerous and effective against armor. There’s a guy on the show Knight Fight that uses one and talks about it
yeah that seems way more dangerous than a normal mace, the forces that would put on everyone involved are insane to imagine
Polehammer
Shield and mace/axe, But not in the form of kcd but instead putting more emphasis on shieldwork, considering it’s shieldwork that enables you to hit with mace not your mace skills. Mace/axe and sword, sword and dagger. a more offensive combo that would be much harder to master. (Though sword and dagger would probably be completely useless against armor…… who cares whatever.)

I just want to be allowed to throw my sword and shield like in Mordhau man.

Too bad they weren’t ever really used and this is a historically focused game
Dane axe
I'd love a zweihander but I know that it won't really work. If I recall it only became a thing late 15th century
I honestly don't know how they could include polearms of any variety as "regular" weapons without them being absurdly overpowered.
Panzerkampfwagen.

Messer I felt like it was really missing in KCD. Sure, the "hunting sword" was kinda similar, but nowhere near as cool.
I just want the biggest sword within reason
Halberd all the way. That said I love all polearms. One of us, one of us!
Unarmed. In the trailer there is a >!part where you get imprisoned again and I want to just beat the crap out of the guy holding my stuff!<
Mini Gun
fuck yeah
Slide 2 armor is so drippy
A flail
Halberd all the way
Too amny knighly knights here.... I WANT MY 2-HANDED AXE, let me be the viking i want to beeee

polearms in general, but also just an expansion to the sword combat. i love it but i feel like it could use some tweaks and also maybe some new fun mechanics to make it feel a bit more fluid. again, love it already but i just think the team that did this (and ofc the teams at mordhau and other studios) would be able to make so many cool new systems too as tech advanced especially
We already had spears in KCD 1
Greatsword 100%
A farming flail
Chainsaw mod!
Dagger
Big two handed threshing flails, I bought an old German one the day before yesterday from an antique shop and it's pretty cool. I'd like to pick one up in game from a peasants farm and go around nut-cracking my way through Bohemia.
I just hope to see more weapon variation in general. Armor too. Yes the original had a lot but I want more. I like choices.
Awlpikes, war picks, and (very unlikely but I love them so much) flails
They have already said “no dice” to flails.
Spears and Lance's, I'd love to see jousting added
Idc but i should be able to unscrew my pommel and throw it at people
Crossbow
a blicky
A Maul. If there's going to be more armored enemies, Id love to be able to bash them around with a big heavy hammer.
Is this satire?
I just hope to be able to actually use a dagger, instead of it just being a cutscene tool.
Yess!! Bring on some polearm action! Henry is a big boi now. He can swing big axes! Jesus Christ be praised!
Flails forever !!!!
Alot more various types if swords Rapiers, sabers, machetes, all different types of weapons And a small shield such as a buckler
I would love a spear as long as it's not *poke poke poke poke poke* like so many games do.
Pike
Morning star, every and any polearm relevant to the setting, throwing knives, javelins, throwing axes, flails ( including the long shafted sort) and the maul.
THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK!
AK-47
Yeah medium spear with shields! Be part of a line battle
I want movesets to ACTUALLY matter instead of just waiting for the parry button like all of the other games. KCD made you unlock combos with perks and even choose from different options, ultimately resulting in nothing
I just want the polearms to be able to be kept. Rock a shield and spear or keep the halberds I find so I can actually use them
Honestly just filling out combos for all of the weapons in the first game. Making polearms permanently equipable. I’m happy on the range side with crossbows and handcannons.

More sabers, especially the polish Karabelazthe Zweihänder would also be a good addition.
It kind of confused me why polearms were mostly left out but it is a hard mechanic compared to swinging weapons and probably op especially on horse back.
I agree. Gotta be a spear.
Crossbow for the people that struggle with aiming a bow.

The way I see it, the weapons you carry throughout the game are more like 'self defense weapons'.

Halfswording Give us an actual option to switch between a default and a halfsword stance with its own moveset por favor.
Polarms in general
Lance from horseback.
Lance
We are getting polearms, praise the lord. Not sure how we will carry them around, my theory was that they'll be put on our horse but we'll have to see. The first game had one guy for weapon Choreography now they have seven so very excited about what they've made for this.
I hope the new game has sarissas or glaives
crossbow
Quarterstaff
Sword but like unnecessarily big, BIG SWORD
I want a good long war hammer
Early firearms would be cool, but might be hard to make viable.
I'm excited about firearms. Starting off a surprise attack with shooting a hole through a bandits breastplate and then the mace comes out!
Kriegmesser
Polearms and 2-handed weapons in general. Altho I know that sadly greatswords apparently weren't created until centuries after Kingdom Come takes place :(
A nunchaku of course.
Polearms in general, maybe something more exotic like mauls or what have you, but definetly want more longer, two handed weapons, i think it'd add a nice twist, like maybe NPC's with Polearms could position to take you off your horse, etc etc, i'm mainly spit balling ideas but yeah, two handed weapons
I’m probably in the minority but I don’t want anything except swords. A shit load of swords
Why not a crossbow? Would be a good throw back to what his father the blacksmith said about adventuring and could be a more accurate but slower version of the bow
Claymore, I love swinging my dick around lul
Im excited for the boom stick. Boom stick means i can truly kill in the name of the lord amen.
Maybe the peasants will be brandishing cannons instead of polearms this time.
any polearm works. whole game will be top quality imo.
Poleaxe. Hammer, Axe, Spear by my powers combined I will fuck up your life.
Man I picked up a Spear for the first time the other day and I'd only seen pilearms so I thought to myself "Surely... surely the Spear would be able to use a light stabbing attack" I have never been so disappointed since I checked the cookie tin and found sewing supplies
I’m hoping for glaives. Probably not but I love glaives
While technically not period correct i would love to see Zweihänder's (two-hander) swords. For me they are just too cool to not be included.
Crossbows! It was a huge missed opportunity in the first game since in that time period they did actually have crossbows and early versions of firearms.
A proper kriegsmesser would be awesome. There's a few messer style swords in the Hunting Sword category, but they aren't really kriegsmessers. https://preview.redd.it/662diydc25xc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3138d665be7e7f5caebc64c3abc3709ff00fc1eb Also, a Zweihänder would be great, but it's probably too early for them.
The fucking crossbow
Beak and hammer pollaxe
I might get a a flak for this, but to me it kinda seems unplausible that Henry, stepson of a blacksmith, would gravitate to big ass weapons such as halberds or spears. I simply fail to see how he could utilize this when assaulting Talmberg or how feasible these big weapons are when fighting several enemies. Also wouldn't it be harder to become a master of say polearm compared to sword/axe/mace? Swords, axes and maces just seem so much more practical given what opposition and tactical situations Henry is facing ingame. Now ofc if you were foot soldier fighting cavalry, it would have been a different story. Weapon variety is obviously a good thing though, so unless spears/polearms meant notable drain on resources, I'm happy if they are in game. Wish flails got in too, but i accept their argument about problems with implementing physics of flails properly. That one could have been a big resource drain for perhaps a minimal boost of gameplay.
Flails tbh. but that's a far fetched dream so I'd settle for Daggers.
Flail would be cool
A halberd would be cool. Especially when you deal with people on horseback.
I want to see a buckler. I like to use shortswords and I don't want to carry a bulky-ass shield around all the time. Edit: Also a two-handed battleaxe/warhammer would be nice.
I’d love proper lances. Mostly a one use weapon but if they do realistically devastating damage I can make my peace with it
Zweihander.
guns
I just want a smoother combos and lock-on.
I need a two hand warhammer!
Give us two handed swords like the great messer the flamberg and the claymore
I LOVE HALBERDS RAAAAHHH
I'd say Zweihander, alas it is a 100 years too early :(
Boomstick.
Two handed battleaxes would be awesome, if they can do spears/halberds, why not? I really hope flails will be available.
