If you compare the 2, Double Axe actually deals more damage than a Thunder Axe. Thunder Axe's strength is 235, but Double Axe is actually 240. Yeah, the 5 extra points do make a difference. Not to mention if you equip a Gauntlet, the strength becomes 140 x 2. The chance of missing both hits isn't that high so if you missed one hit, you still do half the damage. Am I the only guy who uses Double over Thunder?
Am I the only one who likes Double Axe more than Thunder Axe?

Posts: 143I think that you are comparing the Thunder Axe with the Double Axe. The Tiger Axe is only worth 150 attack points.
I never use generals that equip axes because their intelligence are way too low. You may have a point, Terranigma Freak.
Even with a gauntlet, I would not prefer all double hit weapons. A barrage sword, for example, are only worth 90 points. It is too weak for the Luo Yang battles.

Posts: 143In the regular DOAE2, three characters equip axes. They are Wei Yan, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua. Wei Yan is the only general worth a little consideration for the final battles (strength: 240).
Xu Huang and Pang De equip the ax in the Wei mod but only Xu Huang is worth using. In the Wu mod, three generals equip axes (Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Zhou Tai). Only Zhou Tai may worth a slight consideration.

Oops, got the two switched around, but yeah it's Thunder Axe.

I know, that's why the thread tile specifically says Tiger (Thunder) axe and Double Axe on it. I disagree with Zhang Lu about Bows being thrash, since Yuyu Bow is actually stronger than a Double Axe by 12 points or something like that.

I start to wonder whether there are more than one version for the Wei mod. I downloaded the mod from the site provided by lordyuanshu.com. Dian Wei equips spears while Pang De equips axes. Meanwhile, people keep saying that Dian Wei uses axes and Pang De uses sabres.

Bows are not trash. If a potent general equips a bow, the double hit can inflict severe damage (e.g. Huang Zhong in the regular DOAE, possibly Zhang He and Guo Huai in the Wei mod).

Posts: 411Actually, I do believe there are 2 versions of the mod. I remember seeing 2 versions of it when I downloaded it. Can you upload your version? I would much rather have Dian Wei use spears than axe. It's just more fitting you know.

Indeed! Xiahou Yuan also uses bows in the mod. He's actually more dangerous than Xiahou Dun due to his weapon. Unless the mod you have has a Xiahou Yuan using a different weapon.

In my Wei mod, Xiahou Yuan uses spears. As I said, I download the files from the links provided by lordyuanshu.com. Terranigma, you can download lordyuanshu's files and try it.

Posts: 411Actually I think the file I downloaded contains both of them. I never really bothered to test out the difference, but I guess I can try it out now.
