===[TASK]=== Sica and Falx (Weapon)

[Nescio]

Currently I'm contemplating creating a Thracian unit set, but to do so, I need two more weapon props.

Firstly the sica, an one-handed short (blade length c. 40 cm) sickle-sword used by the Illyrians, Thracians, and Dacians, which is similar to the Iberian falcata and the Greek kopis in function, but different in shape, being more curved and pointy:

Secondly the falx, a two-handed long (blade length c. 80 cm, handle similar length) curved blade, used by the Thracians and Dacians:

The rhomphaia, a two-handed spear-sword, similar to the falx in length, but straighter, is already present in the game.

All three (sica, falx, rhomphaia) are sharp on the inside (by contrast, the Egyptian khopesh axe-sword is sharp on the outside, as are sabres, scimitars, and similar weapons).

Hopefully one of 0 A.D.'s great artists is willing to give creating it a try!
