    Kinda nice ideas, but feels like the weapons already exist:
    Spartan: Spear & Shield = Valkyrie
    Celt: Claymore = Warden
    Apache: Double Tomahawks = Berserker

    I appreciate your effort and the detailed description. However, IMO there are endless interesting weapons that could fit into the game, not duplicating the existing ones but adding new ones.

    Cool ideas but, Spartans are from Greece, not Rome.

    I sometimes get confused between Romans and Spartans.

    Romans are from Rome and Spartans are from Greece. (not Sparta lol )

    when i do classes that seem like duplicates almost i make the fighting styles different (and my assumption from difficulty is basically how many moves they have)

    so with the apache how i think of how it would be different is instead of jump attacks and large chains she would stick to throwing the opponent around and tiring them out, the apache would be faster than your average berserker but not have as many moves

    with the celt i was thinking he would be more agreesive than adaptable, for instance one move was something like the spartan below he would charge like the shugoki and at any given time either do a special zone attack with extra damage and speed, a guard break which knocks your enemy down or a special combo. oh and an uninterruptible jump attack

    with the spartan i had in mind instead of disabling like valk he would charge with his shield while also attacking with his spear and have a stronger defense because of his large shield
    but not as adaptable with no side step attacks, another attack i had in mind is where when in full stance he could use his spear to attack at short range tho of course

    altough i do feel like with the sword & shield characters im going to have to add sidenotes with their more prominent moves to differintiate them from the others, ill probably start adding movesets later today starting with my first thread
