Welcome to Calradia, the year is 1717, and the smell of sulfur hangs in the air. Musket fire and cannonades echo across the land as Calradia is once again beset by war. Our story begins in the declining Calradian Empire of the 18th century, it's borders bombarded ceaselessly by countless enemies that surround them. Fight with daring riflemen, dashing Hussars or battle hardened grenadiers under your command as you serve the modern nations of Calradia or begin your journey as the Emperor or Emperoress in this land of chaos.

Easy question, hard answer.

What weapons and types should be used for the arena/tournaments?
Suggestions are welcome, as usual. but a few rules to keep in mind.

Arena weapons cannot be lethal, like native they should all be "blunt" to avoid people dying. so lead balls in muskets are out of the question.

My thoughts on what equipment should be used, the blunter older sabers and rapiers and older muskets and pistols that shoot coloured balls of candle wax instead of lethal lead. Instead of their old names these things will be renamed Grand Duels too.

As for what they wear, we'll keep the colour coded stuff is possible but instead of a tabard and helmet I'm thinking more something like what the two French Hussars wore in The Duelists when they were fighting in the barn. Light 18th century long sleeved shirts, britches and riding boots.

so the arena guns should be more like paintball guns then? kinda makes sense and wax was known in that era.

the tournaments are unnecessary.. really you can ad duels..! back to back whit your pistol in hand, them walk to a certain point and turn to shout your opponent.!

but tournaments are a medieval thing.! any suggestion what can replace the tournaments.. a great idea can take a precedence or "Gancho" for the mod..

I wish for one on one duels to be fought like that, but tournaments should remain in some form in the mod as they make it easier for the player to get a little extra money in getting things going.

You can challenge nobles to duels, this was already in native.
eg: for lady's favour, but in diplomacy you can also have a friendly duel.
This is done with your own weapons
