Pikes and Halberds

i was thinking that pikes should be added to the game for factions like the Men of Gondor, and The Dwarves. they would be large spears that you could not throw but instead when you right clicked the pike would stick out several blocks and would be able to kill or severely harm the mount of any cavalry unit that is charging at you.

Halberds could be for the Easterlings when they are added when you right click while holding them you would switch from using them like a spear (which would give more reach) to using them like an axe which would have less reach but do more damage. If any of this has

been suggested, sorry.

(Comments argued on about whether dwarves should have pikes or Halberds and some said they should have both)

Broken Swords

as you know, in the beginning of fellowship of the ring, Aragorn has a broken sword that he fights with and has reforged at Rivendell, so, what if, if your sword runs out of durability, it will become broken, and do significantly less damage, but somehow you could reforge it, and it will regain some durability and regain it's former enchantments that it lost after being broken. you could also be able to find them in structures or as dropped from mobs (if you notice that some events in the book are accompanied by their sword breaking, like Boromir's death and Isildur killing sauron) this could be applied to other weapons, not just swords, it's just that swords were where the idea started.

Comments: people said that the damage would start to decrease after a while, another comment said you could use a grindstone to increase its damage

So I thought there should be Silver Equipment sets. It would start with a silver sword, it would have about 300 or so durability, higher than iron but lower than most faction swords. It would do 6.5 or 7 attack damage I would prefer 7 but 6.5 is reasonable as well. Maybe even a silver version of swords for each faction, they would be less durable than the iron or alloy versions but would do 0.5 damage more. It would also look nicer with more detail. Silver Swords could also maybe do more damage to werewolves and vampires (when/if they are added.)

And even if they weren't they make sense. So fire arrows would be crafted with 2 normal arrows,  2 string, and 3 sulfur, and it would give you two of them(shapeless recipe). They would stack up to 5 because of how bulky they are. To use them, you would right click them to ignite it and to select it as the arrow you want. You would have 15 seconds to shoot it or the arrow would burn up and you would catch on fire for 3 seconds. When shot, they would give enemies hit the fire debuffs for 10 seconds. If shot at a flammable block, they would have a 30% chance to set the block on fire(30% because have you ever set a large chunk of wood on fire with a flaming stick? if it hits a wool block then it's a 65% chance). So that's it. There could be other types of arrows, so if you think of any, suggest them! cons

The mod has poison out the wazoo. Why not make poison arrows? It can work in bundles of 8. Just add a bottle of poison to 8 arrows in the crafting window. They can be shot from any bow and cause one tick of effect. <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Courier New';color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">

My idea is when you right click with a dagger you would leap two blocks forward and stab.

What I am suggesting is a lance as a new weapon. It will be crafted with  sticks in a diagonal line from left to right. and two ingots of whatever material in a diagnosis line at the bottom and an ingot at the top right corner of the crafting table.It will just be a retextured spear, that when right-clicked will level the lance. So you are riding a horse and you come across an enemy. What you do is right-click and charge. The lance when left clicked would be swept from left to right, dealing a large amount of knockback. A variant of the lance could be the decorated lance, which has a faction flag on the end. It would be crafted with a lance and a faction banner. The lance would do around 4 base damage, with the damage increasing with your speed. The lance would have a 1 block longer reach than the sword, and would only work on horseback. It would also ignore regular armor, giving a reason for faction armor. Or instead it could just ignore leather armor. The lance would be the weapon mounted Rohirrim now spawn with instead of a sword and could possibly be the weapon of other mounted soldiers. There would be a few faction variants of these. The Mordor warg rider lance, the Rohirrim lance, the Gondorian lance, and the Elven lance. That's about it. Constructive criticism is welcome.

Other people suggested this, but this was the most detailed suggestion. <ac_metadata title="Weapons LoD"> </ac_metadata>
