Expanded Gladius

Adds a gladius as a viable alternative to the falx. It is faster than the falx and has a slightly higher range, although it deals less damage and has lower damage tiers.

The gladius largely is useful where the falx is, however it offers a choice between rate of fire and range or damage and armour piercing, which can be useful in certain situations.

 

The gladius' damage ranges between 3.5 hp (Copper) and 5 hp (Steel). Its damage tiers range from 1 (Copper) to 4 (Steel). It has a range of 3 meters across all metals.

 

The gladius is crafted from its corresponding tier's gladius head and a stick. Ornamental variants of the steel gladius with a different handle can be made by adding a gold or silver plate into the recipe.

Gladius heads can be made on an anvil or from molds if the metal is a lower tier than iron.

 

This is only a content mod, so compatibility with mods that significantly change combat isn't guaranteed. But that does mean that it should probably work with the vast majority of mods that don't change a lot. You can always check in creative whether it works!

Note: This mod doesn't change the vanilla ruined gladius, so it will still be slower and have a lower range.

 

Has compatibility with SoldierSpy - Brassworks.
