    I think it's called Kapha because this is a fantasy setting with slightly different names. Khopesh is spelt with hieroglyphs on the Rosetta stone using "kh", "p", and "sh". Vowels weren't really a thing yet. It is sometimes vocalized as Khapesh, for instance.
    So I'm guessing the Developers just wanted a name similar while not making you think Egypt exists in the setting.

      yup, just like you dont see a pugio, gladius, falcata, or falx. All because its rome with the serials filed off.

    • @LakierosJordy
      @LakierosJordy Рік тому +76

      Correct! Kappen means 'chopping' in my language (flemish - dutch) so it felt like a fun variation also. Also kappa. (kappa)
      The names are also very onomatopoeiic in some cases, but mostly I snuck in little references to creative works of my past, my life or random things I thought sounded fun or good.

      On that point, I noticed a fair amount of weapons named differently from their real world counterpart. (I work with and make melee weapons for a living). The easiest one to see is the gladiator trident (actual name). In game this is the square trident.

      If you ask me, flail and shield is the best in the entire game- It's complete bullshit, you go for swings and most of the time (assuming you're doing it right), you can just attack right over or around the enemies shield and hit them regardless. It does so much damage that you can plow through enemies quickly- I've won so many 1 v many's with the flail.

    I think the a lot of the weapons just have different names for flavor purposes. The dakka looks a lot like a Roman gladius and the puku dagger thing resembles a pugio. Those big two-handed swords with the forward curve, can't recall their in-game name, strongly resemble falxes and/or rhomphaias.
