Units with stupid weapon choices

No, you're thinking of another weapon, entirely.

Why come up with a "military fork", when the game already has the trident: a more damaging polearm already used by some Agarthans (the wet ones) IIRC. Two-handed, but could be used with bucklers like the Olm Spawn do with glaives and bucklers. Stats: Dam 7, att/def 0.

The glaive-users would suck, though. I think I released the weapon rebalance mod already, it did lots of stuff like increase precision of spears/glaives by 1 and increased damage of glaives even further. I didn't test how if affected Agarthans. Getting rid of the attack penalty should help a lot.

Underwater only the Wet One Commanders got trident, the rest have spear. Why there's a damage difference of 4 between them, I don't know, against any armor a spear should be better - the trident distributes force among three points not a single one.
And why a pike has larger damage than a longspear?

EP, will check out your mod.
