Regarding Cannibals and Cleavers

[Jackal]

Shouldn't they use blunt weapons? It seems like cleavers would cause more blood loss, not less and that would mean a greater chance of killing the victim. Blunt weapons are more likely to knock someone unconscious than sharp weapons(in this case, cleavers) which would be the ultimate goal of the cannibals (so they can take them back to camp as food). The way I see it, roving bands should use blunt weapons (to capture their enemies) while the ones that primarily remain at the cannibal camps should be armed with cleavers (to hack off limbs and eat their enemies).

I agree, also I think cannibal party size should be increased and skills decreased. Reason being is with human flesh as good it'd be scarce I assume, so they'd be fairly weak. But, thanks to hard times they'd have a lot of them.

I think they have cleavers because in later versions, they'll be cutting limbs off of your squad members, and eating them. This means that if they cut a limb off in combat, they might grab the limb and just take that back. So for that to work they needed a severing weapon with low blood loss to cut limbs off without killing.

Think they should have classes between them of some sort.

Hunter- go of the village to hunt and knock out oponents, blunt weapons as main.
CArriers- strong mand to carry the down fast and efficient taking the hunters as distractions, i guess mixed weapons, good ones at least to defend themselves, prior the escape not the fight.

Cokers/citty guuards - cleavers and maybe some other weapons, but a better gear, or any gear at all in this case to allow them to defend their outpost, even if made from their victims. Just saw a patrol of dead cat wiping out their settlement with low casualties, and sticking around just to wiat a guy in a cage, which was freed (by me) but refused to leave or do anything despite be in good health for it.
