@Vincent MorganAt the moment, the Kriegsmesser has 5.9 damage and the Pernach has 8.3 if I remember everything correctly. With these values, it takes 7 and 5 strokes to kill a nightmarish drifter, respectively. I am generally silent about the smaller guys.
The question is not whether Pernach is bad, but whether the Kriegsmesser is too good. According to my idea, one-and-a-half swords should beat slower, but so far it has not been possible to implement this.
As for iron weapons, so far I am trying to have many well-known samples presented from iron and above (Viking sword, Axe, Saber), however, something from the Renaissance era should be there.
So that these swords do not get too late, I have an idea to introduce a method of piece-made steel. However, everything that I have come up with so far is not good. One method is difficult to implement technically. The other is likely to displace the vanilla version.
