You may have noticed that there are some game updating:
http://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=10732 Some you may like, some you may dislike. But I have to say, admin must have his reason for those change. I will show my respect and continue play, as it's still my favorite game. 
One of the most important change is about the AP requirement:
Quote
1. The Warlords Council has established new standards on military equipment. From now on, every Lord of level 5 and above will not be allowed to engage in combat without a weapon. Any artifact equipped in right hand is considered a weapon. Moreover, the Amunition points total of all artifacts equipped must at least correspond to the Lord's combat level. The AP value of all artifacts is listed in their description.
Minimum Ammunition points required:
Combat level 5 – 5 AP
Combat level 6 – 6 AP
Combat level 7-8 – 8 AP
Combat level 9 and above – 9 AP
Lords have 7 days, until December, 21th, for preparations to match the new standard.
To help our clanmate find the basic 'weapon' matching the requirment, here is my suggestions:
Combat level 5 – 5 AP --> Sword of retribution
Combat level 6 – 6 AP --> Equilibrium blade / Combat staff
Combat level 7-8 – 8 AP --> Sword of might / Staff of power
Combat level 9 and above – 9 AP --> Thief bow
If you have a better idea, plz share with us here.
