(Do bonuses increase?)

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

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

Essentially, A swordstaff.

P. Armor is essentially protection from arrows and artillery?

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

Ok.

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

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

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

...

But, for AoS sake, edited.

I think I have the sprites for it

Arent we talking about the upgrade?

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

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

The Swordstaff is more warlike than the bill

But, it's all a matter of opinion.

Enjoy!

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

This angle?

But not this image.

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

Pick one and enjoy

not one i pick '2'

It's ready. @Stratego

thanks!

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

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

@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
