i don't see much point on that... why to use 50% of a sword when u can use 100% of the spear? i know spears are weaker than swords, but not that much... (in most cases...) SSspear and sword is a exception...

If you have doubts, please go to wikipedia and search for "knight". There are more images with swords than spears!

You make a good point. All cavalries in the history of warfare used swords, either as a primary or, at least, as a secondary weapon, from antiquity until the early 1900s. Perhaps a good compromise would be to allow cavalry to equip swords, but they only get 50% of its effect. Kind of like a negative elite malus.

Might have something to do with Knights having the highest attack in the game as well as the majority of players being humans. Balancing. Those percentages stack with Knights much better than with infantry or bowmen. [/QUOTE]
yea i agree with you. though i'm a orc and well... i use spearmans and it's unfair that not only i have the wekest troops but i also get the most crapy weapons... as for the swords... well there might be someone interested in buying my swords... don't see any other use for them

Some statistics would be very much appreciated. Similar to the last tourney. Perhaps those half naked guys are infantry and could be equipped with swords...

I'm convinced it should be a magical codpiece. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen a single picture online of a knight without a codpiece, regardless of which weapon they are using... (or maybe I just have a good filter). ;)

Yeah... I'm against exclusive ultimate weapons that everyone can use. I view it more as a ceremonial and decorative item that functions as a weapon.

If you want/need to leave your alliance then do so. If it messes up the tournament prize awarding (I do not know if that will be the case) we'll fix it. You can file a petition if you don't get your prizes at the time they go out.
Awarding of prizes has been delayed because we have been dealing with some other, time sensitive, not-game-update-exciting but very critical issues behind the scenes including but not limited to:
http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/03nov2012-tweaks-and-clarity_topic4437.html http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/connectivity-issues-broken-images-buttons-etc_topic4450.html http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/06nov12-siege-exodus_topic4446.html
Hang in there please. We'll get the prizes as soon as is possible.
Oh, and no we aren't changing the sword. It is still going to be a sword.

Dear Devs and Luna,
I would like to get some assurance that the prizes are dealt out based on the situation as of November 1. |
Yes, please! There are many, many, possibly hundreds of players who would like to leave ther current alliances, but don't dare to do because of the unclear situation.
