WEAPONS

Removed some unnecessary weapons, this affects mostly iron, steel and silver weapon variants (about 20 weapons deleted and replaced with similiar ones)

For example there were 2 different "Dull Steel Daggers" with slightly different stats and no "Steel Dagger" equivalent

There are several examples of this. Many weapons had variants with slightly different stats that made no sense and only caused confusion.

The weapons available are now Dull Iron/Runed/Iron/Steel/Fine Steel etc. (instead of several in between weapons with weird naming)

Renamed axes to be consistent: War Axe 1H/Battle Axe 2H/Beard Axe 1H/Great Axe 2H

Fixed/Reworked the naming of many weapons

Renamed "Runed Iron" weapons to "Runed" weapons

Weapons now have proper speed and reach values depending on their weapon class instead of seemingly random ones: (with some exception on uniques)

? ? (Speed/Reach)

Shortswod ??1.2 0.8

Longsword??1.0 1.0

Bastard Sword ?0.9 1.05

Claymore? ?0.8 1.3

Greatsword??0.75 1.4

Waraxe ?1.1 0.8

Beardaxe ? 1.0 0.8

Battleaxe ? 0.8 1.2

Greataxe ? 0.75 1.3

Mace ? 0.9 1.0

Battlehammer 0.8 1.0

Warhammer 0.7 1.3

Bow ?1.0 1.0

Dagger 1.4 0.6

Rebalanced the damage of weapons depending on their speed/reach (e.g. Longswords deal more damage than Shortswords but less damage than Maces)

Replaced "Rusty Iron Greaves" with "Iron Greaves" on hundreds of guards/soldiers etc.

Rebalanced all armor sets: (iron/steel/leather/fur etc.)

Helmets/Gauntlets/Boots have about the same armor

Greaves/Shields have about x1.5 times the armor of Helmets/Gauntlets/Boots

Cuirasses have about x2 times the armor of Helmets/Gauntlets/Boots

Rebalanced armor values with the above guidelines

Some armor sets had too much armor, some had too low armor (e.g. mithril (light) was better than steel (steel))

Fixed the armor/weight/value of armor (e.g. iron shield had 12 armor, steel shield had 8 armor)
