| Barbarians have a sword icon i mean why do they because their native and preferred weapon has always been an axe? :D | female barb has a sword, male barb has an axe.
Regardless which icon you chose, the other gender will not like it :P | uh.. i meant the one appearing after the name eg-
"Mc clan icon if any" "TheMightyBarb" "Faction icon barb small sword" :D
Regardless which icon you chose, the other gender will not like it :PTrue) | | I see what you mean, and it's best not to question it too much :P I think a sword is just easier and simpler to draw than an axe. Honestly, it probably could have just been a rock and I'd give it a pass. | Honestly, it probably could have just been a rock and I'd give it a pass.
lol that's a good point | Axes are used mostly to break shields defences, swords for other hand are lightly and easier to control, to not mention longer with a bigger deadly area to cut their foes.
If those barbarians are fighting very armored enemys, for example celtics vs romans, they'll wear axes. But if they're fighting against other barbarians without good armorer, they'll prefer swords instead.
Also another reason for pick axes, is because they're cheaper to produce (need less metal, and more wood, for ordinary axes), and this could be another reason for pick this weapon as primary.
But if they could effort or lot, and they're fighting against low armored enemys, they should pick always swords. | @The Main use for an axe is to ruthlessly kill their opponents give them no chance to fight back whatsoever also increasing their strength beyond limits! <Taking it to imaginative aspect "Which" represents this game>

Actually.. when u hold a sword and an axe which is heavier? answer is obvious
Sword is thin and sharp - cuts wounds swift strikes
Axe is Sharp large n slow - 2x the metal used conclusion? even if u get hit from the blunt side its gonna knock u out even with a strong helmet..
Barbs identity comes from an axe as knight gets it from a shield and sword | You can't compare 2h axe with a 1h sword...
If you want to compare the weight of a 2h axe, you should compare a 2h steel sword.
Which is more heavier? A wood making a cylinder to hold the weapon, or a steel/iron and other minerals to make the formule to hold as cylinder?
Wood density averange of 0.6
http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/wood-density-d_40.html
Steel density averange of 7.80

So we can see wood is much more light than steel/iron or any other mineral.
Yes axes does have a bigger size of blade, but it hardly will suprass a full steel weapon, the size of cable is very large do be ignored.
Of course each weapon will have different weight, and we've to know the exactly forumle to know how much lbs it will have. But in general, axes should been light than swords. | locking this thread since it goes off topic.
