[godOfKings]

I think current bonus is only cav 160% , its one topic I had many debates with cool guy, I do like upgrade idea but I think no need to increase p.armor

Also name in Google is svardstav

[StormSaint373]

Oh, I saw in other sources as Sverdestave... My bad.

Essentially, A swordstaff.

[StormSaint373]

P. Armor is essentially protection from arrows and artillery?

[godOfKings]

Not siege artillery only arrows, like cannons and catapults, protection from them is normal armor so just increasing armor to 3 is good enough, and its supposed to b weaker to arrows for high health

[StormSaint373]

Ok.

I'll just work on image.
What else needs done?

[godOfKings]

All pike like units in Aos has range 1, else u could pick off a ship in a river one tile from coast with a pike

[StormSaint373]

Aw! It's an excellent tactic! It allows for more units to fight at one time.

...

But, for AoS sake, edited.

[Gral.Sturnn]

I think I have the sprites for it

That's not Volgier.

This is...

[Gral.Sturnn]

That's not Volgier.

This is...

Arent we talking about the upgrade?

[StormSaint373]

We were talking about the Volgier Sprite image to base the Svardestav upgrade off of.

[Gral.Sturnn]

Ok but i think a bill should be the way to go

[StormSaint373]

The Swordstaff is more warlike than the bill

But, it's all a matter of opinion.

[StormSaint373]

Enjoy!

[godOfKings]

May b u can raise blade a few pixels high (can overlap up to 64 pix) so that the part of blade fixed to staff is more visible

But otherwise great image

[StormSaint373]

This angle?

But not this image.

[godOfKings]

No, angle of previous image was better, just make tip of blade reach the edge of canvas, and so that u can raise the joint between blade and staff a few pixels too

[StormSaint373]

Pick one and enjoy

[godOfKings]

not one i pick '2'

[StormSaint373]

It's ready. @Stratego

[Stratego (dev)]

thanks!

Q1: any ide for upgrade tech icon?
Q2: i have nowhere found any reference of "svarderstav" can someone help?

[godOfKings]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swordstaff


Its basically name of weapon in Scandinavian probably, may b we can change name of unit to svardstavier or something to keep it in line with halberdier

For tech icon, an enlarged image of the blade part of this weapon with a handle that extends to the edge of canvas

[godOfKings]

@Stratego (dev)
Change name of unit as svardstavier since svardstav is name of weapon not the soldier using it.
Tech: To svardstavier

Upgrades voulgier to svardstavier

Description:
Svardstav or swordstaff is a Scandinavian pole arm used in the middle ages. Svardstav can be used for both slashing and thrusting at charging cavalry.

I think a 50% bonus against infantry isn't too op, along with 160% bonus against cavalry, its bonus will b like hatamoto but deals less damage
