Viking Conquest-Strictly Two Handed Long Weapons

Viking Conquest-Strictly Two Handed Long Weapons

I find that weapons like the longaxe are one handed/two handed. I don't see the point of using a shield if it just makes it swing slower, and it's annoying to see my character holding something resembling a Dane Ax with only one hand. This is a simple mod that classifies all weapons in VC as one-handed/two-handed and makes them strictly two-handed (even weapons that aren't normally used in the game, like pickaxes, because... why not). I also find it aesthetically pleasing to see Huskarls and Berserkrs ​​with shields on their backs and holding Long Axes with both hands. However, this means you won't be able to use the shields for these weapons.

Installation/Uninstallation: Get the "item_kinds1.txt" file and put it into the Viking Conquest folder in the module, overwriting the existing file. If you feel that you might want to switch back to using one-handed/two-handed weapons again, I highly recommend copying the "item_kinds1.txt" file that is already in the Viking Conquest folder and pasting it on something like your desktop before downloading this mod. On the other hand, if you already know how to edit the properties and properties of items and weapons, you should be fine, and most likely won't need this mod at all.

notes:

In the cheat menu you can find two Goidelic Champion Swords that are already two-handed and can deal even more damage. However, you can only obtain them through the cheat menu. This mod changes the one-handed/two-handed version of the Champion Sword, which can be purchased by the weapon merchant, to be technically two-handed.

This mod is made for the latest version of Viking Conquest Reforged Edition. I don't think it will work with older versions of Viking Conquest, or at least versions with different items and weapons than the latest version.

This MOD only changes the weapon class! It does not change the weapon's damage, speed, or any other properties.

I've only encountered one issue with this mod so far. When you start a new game, axes and other two-handed weapons will no longer appear in the weapons merchant's inventory. Instead, they will be replaced by standards. If any of you know why this is happening, and how to fix it, I'd be very grateful if you commented. Since I don't know how to fix this right now, my suggestion is to start a new game before you use this mod, or use it with an already existing save. This issue seems to only affect merchants, and is even more inconvenient if you don't use the cheat menu. Weapons should still appear in the inventory of the unit using them. So you can loot weapons from fallen enemies.

I found it annoying that weapons like the Long Axe were One-Handed/Two-Handed. I didn't see much of a point in using it with a shield if it just makes it swing slower, and it was annoying to see my character running around holding something similar to a Dane Axe with only one hand. This is a simple mod that takes all the weapons in VC that are classified as One-Handed/Two-Handed, and makes them strictly Two-Handed (even weapons you wouldn't normally use in the game, such as pickaxes, because well...why not). I also find it aesthetically pleasing to see Huskarls and Berserkrs with shields on their backs, and gripping Long Axes with both of their hands. However, this means that you will NOT be able to use a shield with these weapons anymore.

Install/Uninstall: Take the "item_kinds1.txt" file and put it in your Viking Conquest folder in Modules, and overwrite the already existing file. If you feel like you might want to switch back to having the weapons be One-Handed/Two-Handed again, I highly recommend you make a copy of the "item_kinds1.txt" file that is already in your Viking Conquest folder, and paste it somewhere you'll remember it, such as your desktop, BEFORE downloading this mod.
