So to produce an axeman we'll need an axe smithy. For swordsman - swordsmith.
That's pretty narrow specialisation for those smiths...

Mmmm yes, that's true...
Specially because there are not many guys using axes...
Also I find a little odd that the Swordmen nees a Swordsmithy and the Heavy Swordmen doesn't. Only nees a chainmail maker. Maybe it is for balancing reasons, I dunno. Because the Men at Arms needs both things and it is supposedly a better unit. However it says that he has more protection than the Heavy Swordmen, and uses "High quality swords". So shouldn't they need a better armorer and/or a better swordsmith???(Swordsmastersmith). :rolleyes:

Also there is something strange with the scale armour. I only have found the Cataphracts needing a scale armorer. But about the Pronoias says they were scale. However they need a chainmail smith.

You mean the Boyars, we don't know yet what Pronoias will need. ;)

But doesn't the heavy swords man only get better armor? the sword stays the same, maybe he get a better shield also.

@Finnelach!
Yep! you are right, I meant the Boyars.

@Cork2
In that part I was talking about the Men at Arms...
The description says:
"Men at Arms are an advanced version of the Swordsmen. They are well armoured and have good quality swords."
So if I were a dev I would make them need a Sword Mastersmithy (along with the Chainmail maker). And the Heavy Swordmen a Swordsmithy (now he just need a Chainmail maker).
Also I would switch their names: HS to MaA and MaA to HS.
