[2020] Still waiting for the Flail to become a playable weapon.

Kriegsmessers were often hand and a half sized. More often than longsword, or especially greatsword size from what I've seen.

No pollaxe I've ever seen had a head the size of a maul's head. I'd consider the in game maul to be a fantasy weapon, yeah. The default maul at least is believable as a real life maul, mainly a tool for driving in stakes, but I have heard of them being mentioned being used as weapons in a few cases.

I recently saw a painting(I think it was around 15th century?) that had men in formation with some holding big two handed hammers with essentially squares on the end, but I can't find it right now.

The war axe is the most egriegous example of non-historic weapons though. It's styled like a dane axe, but I've never seen any evidence of a viking style double bitted axe.

Edit: Here's the picture with what looks like a big hammer. From the Jena Codex.
