A guandao is a Chinese pole weapon named after general Guan Yu from Romance of three kingdom.
It is like a European fauchard and sometimes has a notch to catch an opponent's weapon.
Mounted on a 5-to-6-foot-long (1.5 to 1.8 m) wooden or metal pole,
with a very deeply curved blade but unlike most polearms, for use with sweeping cuts relying on its range and power.
The weight of the blade and the leverage of the handle would have allowed it to cut through most leather,
chain, scale or light lamellar armor of medieval China.
(In contemporary Wushu combat, a large veil cloth/tassels is attached to confuse opponents.)
THANK YOU Geobra for this historically accurate weapon! (and not like the first drawing below :lol:)

Great stuff, cheng. I thought it was awesome to see this and other historical Chinese weapons in the new series (even if the rest of it isn't so cool).

That sounds great. It would be cool if they released some better (more historical) buildings for the theme. Then your customs could have a proper fortress! Or you'll just have to build them one. :lol:
