OK the primary weapons of the Sundome are the Pike/Sarissa and shields large/medium (dependent on your preference on continuity/historical accuracy ).
But what is the backup or holdout weapon for up close and dirty work? I've always assumed shortsword, but in the current setting would be Kopis be better suited?
I would be interested in other peoples opinions.
The options I have are;
1) Always Kopis
2) Always Shortsword
3) Depends on the location of the temple, Kopis within the Empire, Shortsword within Orlanthi lands, but dependent upon unit choice.
4) Soldiers individual preference
I like option 3, other peoples opinions?
