Mod in Progress - Weapon Overhaul

Hello everyone, this is my first attempt to make a mod.
My idea:
One thing about this game that has always bothered me was the way weapons work. They don't really make a lot of sense.
A one-handed club does the same amount of damage as a short sword or a two-handed spear. I know there are weapon proficiencies, but those didn't get introduced until the second game.
A lot of the weapons do the same amount of damage without really any difference between them.
I want to make a mod that gives the weapons more distinction between them. Allowing you more tactical choices with the weapons you use.
There are 4 categories for damage Piercing, slashing, crushing, and Missile.
Piercing - Does low damage but penetrates armor.
Slashing - Does high damage, but low damage against armored opponents
Crushing - Does medium damage against both armored and unarmored opponents.
Missile will pretty much stay the same but I may tweak the values a little.
Also, I want to make more distinctions between one-handed and two-handed weapons.
One-handed weapons will do less damage than most two-handed weapons
-Two-handed weapons will do more damage but will be slower and with higher strength requirements.
With this mod, I am not creating anything new just changing the existing values so I believe it shouldn't be too difficult. I have no idea how long it will take me.
-Update I have attached a readme of the changes I will be making.
