3D Grundge made these weapons see above link, I just took them and adjusted the XML file so that it works with the rest of the tweaked weapons files. Just adjusted costs, damage and speed on weapons, and placed them in different tiers. ALL CREDIT FOR WEAPONS GOES TO 3D GRUNDGE. I am just providing a tweaked XML file and a installation that works in game.

Rebalanced Weapons and Armors

New files for 1.09. 1.09 had just a few issues, mainly with the leather armor sets. So I adjusted them so every armor set has a use and will be useful until newer techs make it obsolete. I tweaked the weapons for the Kingdom factions for very nice balance. Maces and blunt weapons are slower but heavier hitting and swords and daggers are faster with less damage. The difference is not too ridiculous however. Short Swords cost less now, before they cost about as much as a broad sword which was in the next tier or tech.

Also changed Karrazan values and Elementium Karrazan as well. They are more in tune with the rest of the weapons. A Karrazan with 2 speed and 12 damage(1 handed mind you!) was just insane(now 11 damage 1 speed -- Longsword has .8 speed). Hopefully that stops the AI from zerging with those weapons. And in addition staves offer 1 speed but pretty dismal damage to hopefully entice spell casters to use them.

Staves are now have a defensive component to them. Since you are forced to forgo a shield it makes a little sense. Additionally now staves add a little defense and a good amount of combat speed and pretty paltry damage. Should be a good weapon for casters who are not combat oriented. Working on a mage pack to add alongside that will be available by teching up the magic tree. These items should add caster friendly stats. The goal is to make robes and mage weapons a must have for any serious caster.

Below is a list of the current values for armors(most all this is in 1.09 already),so I just fixed the leather armors and the Legendary set.
