Chinese / Mongolian spearmen with deformed weapons?

When approaching the enemy and erecting spears, the weapons of Chinese / Mongolian spearmen will be deformed, and the specific situations of silver helmets and gold helmets seem to be different.

Obviously, in aoe4, the weapons of Chinese / Mongolian spearmen have a unique shape. The modeler did make Chinese and Mongolian style spears / halberds, but they are only revealed when approaching the enemy and erecting spears. Usually, they are common European style weapons.

It is obviously incongruous for Chinese / Mongolian spearmen to use typical European weapons, which is also a waste of the work achievements of the modeler. Therefore, please fix the wrong bug called by this model and let Chinese / Mongolian spearmen use their own style weapons. Because they have similar characteristics and belong to long rod weapons, it will not hinder unit identification, And more civilized.

I noticed that the latest Chinese / Mongolian civilization introduction films did not fix this bug,Seriously, it affects my playing experience, which is my only dissatisfaction with aoe4. I really hope this small bug can be repaired when it is officially released.PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE.

coh2 still has bugged visuals to this day, many of which are fixed by ticking a checkbox in the tool that was used to set them up. if the issue is still present at launch, there is a high chance it will stay forever.

I hope the official can reply to me and repair this small bug as soon as possible.

It’s unimaginable,Don’t…

This is only the most basic texture error. Aren’t they going to fix it?

Please be patient for two days, it may have been fixed.

I hope so, but the live display of these days has not changed at all…

Daily reminder. I hope the production team can notice this bug.

I am happy to report that this has finally been fixed! Thank you to everyone who kept bringing up the issue, and thanks to the developers for taking the time to sort this out. It might have seemed small, but it means a lot to us.



Additionally, there are some changes! Besides Mongol, Delhi, Ottoman, Abbasid now has the Spear with tassel, which feels a lot more appropriate than them using the Guisarme.



Maybe the coolest change… Rus spears wield poleaxes!!! However, the weapon is too small and doesn’t match the animations well. While the Poleaxe can be used to stab, I wish these guys would also swing it. More importantly, they hold the weapon too far up, making it look awkward as shown in the second image. Please, do keep the change, but scale the weapon up and move their hands further down the pole.

Very good, finally fixed. I would like to express my respect to the production team.
However, RUS’s spear actually has its own weapon model, which still exists in the editor but seems unable to be traced. As a spearman, it should use this common European halberd from the 15th to 17th centuries, rather than the knight exclusive Poleaxe.
In addition, this model has also appeared in RUS’s campaign loading diagram, indicating that the earliest RUSspearman used this weapon.

Interesting, I never knew of this weapon as it never had the in-game charge bug like the others (French, Chinese, Mongols). That is much more fitting than the Poleaxe, despite how much I like seeing the Poleaxe. But, if we’re going to keep them on their Spearmen, please make them swing in addition to stabbing (also make them larger).

Truthfully, I’d honestly see the Poleaxe in the hands of their Man-At-Arms, replacing Sword and Shield with the Poleaxe only (it is a two-handed weapon) instead of Spearmen and Knights. If Knights will carry on having Poleaxes, please at least remove their shield and make them swing with two hands. On another note, the Bardiche that Rus Militia uses should be swung in addition to being used to stab.

Also in case any developers are reading this, please give these weapons a metallic shine. The white is… offputting.

As you can see, there are also two models of Poleaxe in the game

Not only French and Chinese, they use Mongol’s spear as universal weapon to those Asian Muslims civs.
Fantastic work, these changing shows that they really care about the details recently.

The billhook of spearmen from other civilizations has also undergone changes: the previously decorated billhook with tassels has been completely removed and replaced with a regular bare pole billhook.
