RMB: Slash/Charge
MMB: Slash/Charge
LMB: ???
Allow swords/axes to block using the LMB since it does nothing. Allow them to block both melee weapons and bayonet lunges (maybe bayonet charges too?).
This will make swords/axes more valuable, intricate when being used, and overall more fun.
Melee guns need overhaul:
Knifes should deal more damage but be slower and have bad range
axes should deal a lot of damage and have big range but they should be slower
shovels should deal less damage than knifes but have more range
swords should be superior in every category
bayonets would have biggest range but they would be slower than other melee weapons
bonking would be faster than bayonets but they would deal less damage and they would have less range
It doesn’t work like this
My bad. I meant melee weapons
As a Japanese nerd, they certainly feel like it already lol. Would love to see more dynamic melee swings and animations though
This one is studying the blade I see yes?
Except for gun sword
Enlisted: back to the medieval
What a perfect time to add in the Chinese and Ethiopian sub-faction with their Daos, Miaodaos, spears, and Shotel swords.
The Chinese even made a patriotic song called the Sword March.
Not just swords and axes could be updated, but shovels as well, each thing with their own use.
Swords:
Allow for melee blocking
Axes:
Allow a wider swing that may do less damage, but would hit a wider area.
(Additionally, allow axes to chop down trees. This is to help with sight lines.)
Shovels:
Not melee combat, but allow dirt to be ADDED to a location to help fill in holes or smooth an area out.
Does it?
I disagree
Unhesitatingly, First Lieutenant Wilson charged the enemy ranks and fought valiantly, killing three enemy soldiers with his rifle before it was wrested from his hands, and annihilating four others with his entrenching tool.

Shovels already have the special ability to dig. If they would deal more damage no one would use axes
Exaggaration
They need an adequate option to attack. All you can do now is dig up the enemy. Which is very dumb.
I’m a satire. It’s kind of the point of it.
When in Mount and Blade 2 made a skill with which it was possible to reflect bolts and arrows with a two-handed sword, I no longer believe anyone.
… there’s such a mechanics in M&B2???
I find that rather sad…
Let engineers board up windows; then, we will see greater use for them. Also, shovels can not be used when charging, while axes can.
