Humakt is also the god of oaths. If you want to convince others of your sincerity, you swear by Humakt.

I disagree. If you're going to war, you want to win. Humakt is the best war god there is. Why not honor his combat prowess? Humakt is a weapon, and you do have to be careful that you don't end up weilded by Humakt, but most tribes don't have that problem.
BTW, in my Glorantha, Storm Bull is a fertility-related god in Ralios, but not in Dragon Pass (where he's the dry desert wind).
Martin Laurie's comments on the difficulty of fencing against beginners are confirmed in my experience. It's much easier to defeat them once you've taught them a thing or two! (Not that beginners are that likely to score against you, but they certainly fight unconventionally.)
