Right about now you must be wondering how in God's name you're supposed to pronounce Claidheamohmor. The answer: you don't! If you're remotely near one you'll be dead long before you're done injuring your vocal chords anyway!
Fancy vs. Nasty Update description

The Claidheamh Mòr is a melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a Template:W similar to the Eyelander that has a crossguard with side rings, a red/blue and green Template:W wrapped around the grip and a blood-spattered blade. Like the Eyelander, the Claidheamh Mòr also has a large melee range and cannot roll for random Critical hits. Unlike the Eyelander, however, the Claidheamh Mòr only imposes a -15 to max health on its wielder instead of the Eyelander's -25. It also will not collect heads from decapitated victims, and as such, killing enemies with the Claidheamh Mòr will not increase the damage potential of the Targe Bash when using the Chargin' Targe. When equipped with the Chargin' Targe, the Claidheamh Mòr will allow the Demoman to charge for an additional 0.5 seconds.

Previous Changes

December 21, 2010 Patch

  • Changed the name from Claidheamohmor to the proper Gaelic spelling Claidheamh Mòr "to the joy of our Celtic players".
  • The item was added to the Mann Co. Store, made craftable, and included in random drops.

Trivia

  • Before being officially added to the game, the Claidheamh mòr was created as a fan-made skin for the Fancy vs. Nasty Update.
  • Claidheamh mòr is the Template:W form of Template:W (literally "sword big"). It is pronounced "clai" (as in the name "Claire") - "v" (or "ph") - "more".
  • Although it is named after the Scottish Template:W, it appears to be more closely modeled after a Swiss or German Template:W with parrierhaken guards above the Template:W.
