When the Nile meets the Balance

[Nanakii]

Just have to say, good calls in the cases of all three examples, especially Example I :p

Seriously though, don't feel too bad about the khopesh, as I am sure you'd hear more griping from players if you didn't incorporate it than if you did.

Players? I griped when I heard that!

Example II was there to show that there are some instances that playability will easily win over history.

Example I was quite the opposite.

Correction: The khopesh doesn't come in the Late Period, but in the New Kingdom.

...the only "late period" in question was when I wrote the article...
