Estoc swordsman

[balint]

The estoc sword is a special sword which was able to pierce trough chainmails and the weakpointa of armours.

Sounds interesting.
New unit or tech??

[balint]

new unit.

[COOLguy]

Sounds like the rapier.

[balint]

actually, the rapier is similar, but not as good.
the rapier weights significantly less, which lowers its attack power.
the rapier is quite slender, so there was a chanche that it breaks while trusting into a sturdy object like a sholield or a plate armor.

okie-dokie I like

[ollie444]

So maybe this unit's damage would be less influenced by armor? Or maybe a brief dis-armor effect?

[balint]

I thought about an armor penetration.

[ollie444]

What do you mean by that?
How would the game "penetrate" the armor?

[balint]

it would deal damage regardless the armor.
the armpr would't lower his damage.

[balint]

ot was a variation of the longsword.

[ollie444]

We could use that image for something else.

Interesting
You might call it "Swashbuclker" and make an upgrade that make swashbucklers "Muskeeter", gaining a ranged attack too (muskeeters had guns).
