Ulfberht Sword

Description
The Ulfberht sword was one of the most prized weapons in Northern Europe from about the 9th to 11th century A.D.. The Ulfberht name probably originally belonged to a German or Frankish blacksmith but it became a product label for this type of early Viking era one-handed longsword. True +ULFBERH+T or +ULFBERHT+ swords were made of pure crucible steel which was a rare commodity during the Dark Ages in Europe and contributed to its value.

This mod replaces all four norse sword models with the Ulfberht.

Technical remarks: Despite being a 3D mesh, the blade has fewer polys than an asymmetrical sword such as the Khopesh. I will probably make future swords with C2V symmetry using this method since there is only a ~3 fold increase in polys as opposed to Khopesh or Kopis which have ~5-6 fold increase.

I would like you to make a mod so for all weapons.

No offense intended, gtide74, but you might want to calm down.

Done.

i dont give a single fuck about online compatible so if you could make a mod to where the chinese arent using egyptian swords than that would be awesome. otherwise, the khopesh mod is worthless as it looks retarded having Chinese warriors use egyptian swords. sorry, Im a history nut and not trying to come off as a dick.

My suggestion would be make a dao mod, and alternate when playing different civilisations. I say dao because the Egyptians would be more likely to survive with a sword that could pass for a scimitar.

would like to see a dao, and jian swords mod, sick of having to use Egyptian stuff for the chinese in ExpMod

Ahhhh...... Inconvenient.

Sorry, that's not an "either/or" in terms of Jian or Dao, that's an either or in terms of Jian or Khopesh. Egyptian and Chinese units apprently use the same swords so you get one or the other. It's not ideal, but if I mod the anim files it won't be online compatible.
sirnori Oct 22, 2017 @ 8:55pm 
Right. They're both about as old as each-other, so it's up to you. Personally, I think the dao looks more unique, though.
Callistonian  [author] Oct 22, 2017 @ 8:22pm 
I already had Jian and Dao swords on the to do list but if what you say is true, it means FE used Egyptian swords for the Chinese units so it's going to be an "either/or" situation.
