I'm modding from work, yes I know I am a terrible employee, and I just need to know if a Bardiche is one handed or 2. Thank you.

Where do I find this info? I know how to look inside mods but I can't find the vanilla game files for this sort of thing?

You know, I don't know...I think you can look in game, but I don't think that any unit actually uses that weapon, even though it's coded in the game.

You can define a weapon yourself, including if its one or two handed.

I think thats how humans have two handed Glaives but those Atlantian big fella's have one handed Glaives.

That's true, I could just define the weapon myself. You are a wise one, Mr. Doo.

I think you should look at the db file:

Creating your own weapons makes it harder to make it compatible with other mods. (Such as the armor and weapon balance mod).

Thank you. I tend to not use other peoples mods myself, so that's not a real issue with me.

But if you plan to release your mod, it would be nice to use existing weapons. (It makes your mod also easier to make compatible, as it has a smaller weapon nr profile). But just details. Good luck with the mod. (And next time, post in the correct subforum :)).
