Perks
Offensive Perk - Man-at-Arms, Shield Breaker and Hamstring.
Defensive - Shield Bearer, Shield Wall and Shield Master.
Supportive - As always, it's up to you.
Movement - Infantry, Runner and Fleet Footed.
Officer - Here is up to you, too.

Secondary Weapon and Sidearm
No primary weapon is used in this class, so you will go straight to Sidearms. Under the Clubs menù, choose the Inlaid Warhammer with Imperial fighting style.

As sidearm I like to use, as usual, the Quillon Dagger.
Shield, Helmet & Armour
The shield you will use is the Hand Pavise with Leather Cover.
As helmet, you wll take the Barbute - the normal one - which can be found under the heavy helmets.
About the armour, the best choice is the Harness of Plate. *As suggested on the forum, Brigantine can be a good choice if you want a bit more fast warrior.
Final Tips
That's a great class! It was really funny to play with this, and I think it will become one of my never-to-delete classes. It's really good, from open fields when you can swing from right and left, to street fight, like in St. Albans, where you can deliver great damage with overhead attacks.

Fucking awesome build, I made it and it looks and plays great. Just a little weak against shield bash.

Because venetian heavy infantry's primary weapon was the inlaid warhammer.

I should start playing Medieval 2 again.. Problem is.. I suck at the fighting part of the game! xD I tend to just attack with an enormous power advantage xP
