Two handed weapons deal more damage than one-handed weapons, but are generally slower. While on horseback all weapons are used with only one hand, so two-handed weapons suffer a 35% penalty to speed and damage when used from horseback. You also cannot use a shield despite having a hand free. | Two handed weapons deal more damage than one-handed weapons, but are generally slower.

The Bastard Sword is a special type of two-handed weapon; as indicated in its pop-up it can be wielded either way. By putting away your shield ({{mouse|wheeldown}}) you can switch to two-handed, and vice versa. When on foot it allows you to have the two-handed advantage against melee foes by wielding it with both hands while still leaving you the option of using a shield when under fire from ranged troops. | The Bastard Sword (normal, heavy and samurai one) is a special type of two-handed weapon; as indicated in its pop-up it can be wielded either way.
