[Discuss] : choice of weapon

[Lyle Esau]

> Apparently my tongue in cheek humour (noted with the "hehe" was missed but aside from that, the reason that people train their sword skill is that it's so much more versatile in game.  Decent cavalry is expensive so not only do you have to spend gold to train, you have to spend even more gold to have a unit that will gain benefit from that skill.

> I can't begin to guess how many tournaments I've been to where people that "show off" make fun of how poor their jousting skill is.  It's so low on MOST players minds that those few that actually have trained it have a huge advantage already in the few tourneys that are both sword and joust.  This idea seems to be a niche addition to cater to the few players that have their characters train with a long stick instead of a blade
The thing is that the Joust was more prestigeous then the Melee and 
Battle (can't remember the proper name of the teamed fight they have) 
and the Challenge from what I've read I don't remember them getting to 
joust. Maybe choose Mace, Sword, Shield and Sword and such.

Which brings me to another thing. I wonder if the Battle and Challenge 
can be added to the BM Tournaments.
