The gladius is a melee weapon in RimWorld that does a moderate amount of damage, has a moderate cooldown, and deals sharp damage.

Acquisition[edit]

Gladii can be crafted at a fueled smithy or electric smithy once the smithing research project has been completed. Each requires 50 Stuff (Metallic/Woody, 500 for SMVs), 12,000 ticks (3.33 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter and the work to make factor of the material, and a crafting skill of 3.

Gladii can also be purchased from any outlander and orbital combat suppliers, or obtained from outlander and pirate raiders.

Analysis[edit]

Surprisingly enough, gladii are worse for DPS than a knife of the same quality and material, despite the game stating otherwise. Knives are cheaper and don't require Smithing research. Why is this?

The melee verb selection system, introduced in 1.1. Each weapon has multiple attacks, or verbs, with some better than others. The game's infobox incorrectly calculates the likelihood of each attack (it uses RimWorld 1.0 values). For example, the knife is assumed to use "Bad" attacks more often than it does in practice. With this in mind, knives have a "true" DPS of 7.23, rather than the gladius' 7.13.
The impact of Cut damage type. A gladius is half as likely to do a Cut attack as a knife. Whenever a Cut attack is rolled, it has a chance to cleave. When a weapon cleaves, it deals 140% damage, spread throughout body parts.

While cleaving reduces the chance to destroy body parts, it deals more pain, which gets enemies into pain shock faster. Pain shock is the most common way to disable enemies in combat, much more likely than body part destruction. Even mechanoids, who don't feel pain, can only lose so much HP before dying in combat.

Stab has the advantage of superior damage to internal body parts. However, gladii won't instakill the heart at most reasonable qualities, and the chance of hitting the same organ 2 times in a row is miniscule. Cut is a more reliable way to disable enemies in combat.

The gladius does have +5% more AP, but this is a tiny value, insignificant in practice. The knife comes out ahead against any realistic enemy you'll fight. Knives also have the advantage of attacking faster, which can train melee skill, and is slightly better for low-accuracy attackers in general.

The plasteel knife you get at the start of the Crashlanded scenario is better than an excellent steel gladius (and below).

Trivia[edit]

A gladius is the classic Roman centurion's shortsword. Along with the ranged pilum, it is one of two Roman weapons in the game.

Styles[edit]

Ideoligions allow the selection of styles which then change the texture of the certain items and buildings when constructed by the colony. These style variants can be crafted if the colony has the selected style, or can be looted from raiders from factions with the requisite style.

-Gladii can be crafted at either a [[fueled smithy]] or an [[electric smithy]] once the [[research#Smithing|Smithing]] research has been completed with {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work. It requires a [[Skills#Crafting|crafting skill]] of 3 to craft.
+{{Acquisition}}
 Gladii can also be purchased from any [[outlander]] and orbital combat suppliers, or obtained from outlander and pirate [[raider]]s.
 == Analysis ==
-{{Rewrite| reason = Outdated - written before the damage increase. Comparisons may no longer be accurate}}
+Surprisingly enough, gladii are worse for {{DPS}} than a [[knife]] of the same quality and material, despite the game stating otherwise. Knives are cheaper and don't require Smithing research. Why is this?
+* '''The [[melee verb selection]] system''', introduced in 1.1. Each weapon has multiple attacks, or ''verbs'', with some better than others. The game's infobox incorrectly calculates the likelihood of each attack (it uses RimWorld 1.0 values). For example, the knife is assumed to use "Bad" attacks more often than it does in practice. With this in mind, knives have a "true" {{DPS}} of 7.23, rather than the gladius' 7.13.
+* '''The impact of [[Damage types#Cut|''Cut'']] damage type.''' A gladius is half as likely to do a Cut attack as a knife. Whenever a Cut attack is rolled, it has a chance to ''cleave''. When a weapon cleaves, it deals 140% damage, spread throughout body parts.
-As is typical with any sharp weapon, gladius attacks cause bleeding, and generally fares poorly against armor when compared to blunt weapons.
+: While cleaving reduces the chance to destroy body parts, it deals more [[pain]], which gets enemies into [[pain shock]] faster. Pain shock is the most common way to disable enemies in combat, ''much'' more likely than body part destruction. Even mechanoids, who don't feel pain, can only lose so much HP before dying in combat.
-The gladius is one of the most well-rounded melee weapons in the game; striking an excellent balance between damage per hit and cooldown, and not being too expensive either. While the gladius is slightly better at nominal [[DPS]], the mace performs significantly better against armor since it deals blunt damage, which puts the gladius in a tough spot. [[Plasteel]] gladii, however, offer excellent base DPS which establishes a slightly noticeable lead over a plasteel mace in this aspect; combining knife-like cooldown with spear-like damage.
+:''Stab'' has the advantage of superior damage to internal body parts. However, gladii won't instakill the heart at most reasonable qualities, and the chance of hitting the same organ 2 times in a row is miniscule. Cut is a more reliable way to disable enemies in combat.
-Still, the gladius offers significantly more performance than the [[knife]] while not really being that much more expensive to produce, possibly even outclassing the knife as a 'budget' melee weapon - but again, the mace is still the better choice.
+The gladius does have +5% more {{AP}}, but this is a tiny value, insignificant in practice. The knife comes out ahead against any realistic enemy you'll fight. Knives also have the advantage of attacking faster, which can train melee skill, and is slightly better for low-accuracy attackers in general.
-Against armor, a [[steel]] gladius has considerably worse performance than a [[Materials#Stone Blocks|stone]] [[club]]. Therefore, even [[wood]]en clubs significantly outperform a steel gladius in this department - and a steel mace offers nearly double the damage output. When factoring in [[plasteel]] though, the gladius claws back slightly but still falls slightly behind even the wooden club, so a plasteel mace is going to be leaps and bounds ahead.
+The [[plasteel]] knife you get at the start of the [[scenario system#Crashlanded|Crashlanded]] [[scenario]] is better than an excellent steel gladius (and below).
-Overall, the gladius is by no means a bad weapon, because it's actually a decent melee weapon, but there are better options out there just for forking out slightly more [[silver]] or ingredients. At the end of the day, the mace is to the gladius what the gladius is to the knife - even when factoring in plasteel.
+=== Trivia ===
+A gladius is the classic Roman centurion's shortsword. Along with the ranged [[pilum]], it is one of two Roman weapons in the game.
