I chose the axe, because it is pretty, but I'd really rather have the longbow.

bad choises - everyone choose sword.

i would like to use halberd instead of spear.

club only with shield.

light double swords.

small axe only as a second weapon.

The sword is probably a "sexier" weapon. But a pike is hard to beat in a formation trained to use it.

A "sexier" weapon?! Do you want a leather suit with that?

Ha...probably some mail or plate armor would be my first choice.

by sexier I mean that it is more of a fairy tail weapon.....it has been romanticized more than the others. What heros carried a mace or a war axe? They are almost always portrayed with a sword.

You see a lot of villains with a war axe...just about any time you see vikings portrayed...but they were definitely not the only ones to use one.

medievel russians used halberd - spear with an axe mounted on it XD
