[1.08] Mace 6 Damage next higher tech weapon -> Warhammer 5 damage

For Kingdom faction which researches the Mace and then the Warhammer and the Warhammer is 1 of 2 preeq's for the Light Plate this makes no sense at all to have to research an inferior weapon tech.

I am assuming this is a bug? If not what is the rationale for it?

Please for the love of god and all that is good on earth explain or fix this flaw.

I'll even provide possible fixes:

+ Make the Warhammer Attack higher than 6 like I don't know 7 or 8?

+ Make the Mace 5 Attack and the Warhammer 6 Attack

+Swap the Mace and Warhamer in the tech tree for kingdom

+Remove the warhammer as it is under kingdom tech at mighty Blunt weapons and make the mighty cutting weapons the only prereq for light plate.

Or come up with your own solution, but please fix it. I'd like to think you all aren't of the intelligence that this sort of flaw indicates.

I completely disagree with the system.

By having 5 kinds of weapons perfectly balanced in terms of price and damage we would get nothing more than we already have, since we as players would still buy the same weapon. result: all heroes go around with the same (the best) armor and the same (the best) weapon. 90% of weapons would still be useless, balanced, but useless.

Instead I believe prices should vary and not everything should be available everywhere at the same price. that way heroes would have to plan where to get their weapons/armors or buy what they find, and maybe not all armies could be produced everywhere depending on item availability. Bigger cities would randomly get some extra/better weapons but which weapon is available where and its exact price should be random.

As I mentioned before that would spice up also the look of heroes who right now all look the same. Where applicable certain items could look slightly different in terms of colors (the magic defense cloak could be available in random colors) - Doesn't seem too hard to do and the result would help making things less monotonous.

I was asking about the Tech Tree for regular troops... you have a point on the heroes, but I'm asking about the rank and file military and last time I was in the military they wanted all the same look...it was called uniform.

I am asking for the Rationale or acknowledgement that its a bug and will be addressed. I certainly hope it was an oversight, though it kills the motivation I would have for going higher in teh weapons tech tree and seems really quite dumb the way it is now...

hey Kyro or any SD employee? Can you comment on this issue? Is it a known Bug or by design, if by design, why?
