However, maybe a double bitted axe such as this one might work aswell?

The double headed axes don't fit the rhudle style. Maybe the khans style. It's not that they don't fit Easterlings. Double headed axes were more of a ceremonial thing (used in forestry too?), yet there were a few occurrences of such axes used in Persia as a war weapons, I'm not sure though so don't quote me on this. A good axe needs only one head, a second one would be just dead weight. Well rhudel is slightly inspired by the Turkic cultures (not based off!) and not really the Persians. Do you know where the sword used by this mod's Easterlings come from? That sword, also known as Falcata, was used by Iberian tribes before Rome came and conquered everything. Meanwhile the bardiche is an Eastern European weapon. So you see that the Easterling elements we see in the mod comes from several different real life sources, but you know that already. Besides, you completely missed my point. I wasn't saying that the Easterlings were based on the Persians, instead, that I've heard some time ago that the Persians used, at some point of history, doubled edged axes in battle. Anyway, I'm not sure about that, I've heard it ages ago so I'm probably mistaken.
