About this project
What does Warflail add?
Warflail is a simple mod that adds flails for every metal available.
There are currently 3 variants of flail, standard, studded, and spiked.
Standard - Cheaper - Metal primarily scales durability, with some effect to damage.
Studded - More expensive - Metal scales durability as well as damage.
Spiked - Mid cost - Metal notably scales damage, less durability
Flails are designed to be a middle-ground between spears and swords, have slightly less range than the spear, but more than swords. This scaling pattern matches the other attributes as well.
Future Plans (In no particular order)
- Flail head animation (This requires coding and I am not a programmer, this will take a lot of time for me to learn and implement)
- Ornate Variants
- Crude flail
- Spiked flail
- Ruined war flail
- Update ornate and spiked flail models to be more interesting
- Independent haft and swipple recipes
- Potentially get flails working with the Combat overhaul mod in the future (We will see)
- Potentially get non-studded flails working with the Art of Growing mod in the future (We will see)
