of course the buildings and catapults/baista would need health indacators like poeple or just % till they are destroyed

Stealth weapon

There should be more weapon that are invisible in inventory for othrers

they can be made from wood, bones, iron, steel...

also there can be weapons from stone like prehistoric boxing stone (like bagh nakh but holded only in hand)

As far as I know, a bagh-nakh is shaped pretty much like that. Like I assumed that it has blades coming between your fingers and a bar they're attached to that you squeeze in your fist.

A bit like knuckle dusters?

Anyway, i agree with the stealth weapons thingy. I mean, we have a dagger, but it's really not very powerful. I would like there to be the posibility of assisinations without needing a building with a lock or a vehicle. I think i someone suggested a weapon whereby the victim either dies or isn't hurt at all. That'd certainly add excitement to everything.

In real life you stab deep enough with anything and the victim is likely to die, at least when surgery hasn't been invented yet. I think there should be more randomness in general to bring some excitement but this has been discussed before and it didn't lead into anything. If there was a weapon that could kill in one strike, dying should take at least a day so that even though the death would be inevitable, at least others might have the chance to drag the dying person somewhere so that his/her items cannot be looted. Otherwise taking over a town would be far too easy. Just acquire an assassination weapon, go stab town leader, pick up keys and go hide in a building to snipe on the others, or better yet, steal a darter. Even if you failed that wouldn't matter because you could just spawn another character and try again. That's if the weapon was easy to produce. A requirement for a building, steel and a big bunch of tools is to create balance, although too much balance would turn boring.

Killing in one hit is not very wise. Battels allready is unbalanced. Attackers have more advantages against defenders. At least quik attaks. And now you whant that daggers would do one hit-kill thing? :) I dont like that.

P.S. But there is some other solution. Could it be posible to make attaks invisible with invisible weapons? In that case invisibles weapons doesnt have to be deadly. Its just plotery weapon. Maby to acuse someone in tretry or something. Think about that.
