Suggestions Corner / Re: Smokebomb - A new ninja weapon please

Sure, let's implement a bunch of gimmicky bullshit. How about giving battle ale to vikings, makes them go berserk, increases agility and strength but takes off like half health. Then you'll have tincans using smokebomb, then ale, because obviously so-called rp equipment will be used by everyone and their mother anyways. What makes you think only"ninjas" would use this?

I usually play lance, and I love two-handers and polearms (other than pike, think glaive, bardiche and the like) who try and charge me. Also my main role is usually taking out other cav then ranged. Archers take you down easy but that's the challenge, plus backstabbing an archer is so satisfying.

Maybe it's from the occasional Merc trains, but I've found a kind of balance where I dont gain or lose gold much. Turban Helmet, Mamluke Armor, Mail boots and gloves, Sarranid Horse, Deadly Heavy Lance and Elite Cav shield. This is way over the supposed soft cap on equip cost but it works apparently.

I've been polearm/cav since the first iteration of cRPG, and my tastes havent varied much. Maybe some throwing in a build here and there, but that's my niche.

In the vast majority of cases those that are left on their own fighting 20 other people and yet still keep running away, stand on a roof, or hide in the bushes somewhere are stupid fucking bundle of stickss who accomplish literally nothing but waste time, even if that time is only 2 or 3 minutes. If you are in that position it's probably because you were useless to your team when it really mattered. When the server has 60 vs 60, that is 59 people on your team waiting for your dumb ass to die. In total 177 "manpower" minutes minutes wasted. Don't get me wrong, there are occasionally heroes who win it for their team, but it's rare. If you want tactics and organization, set it up at the start of the round. When your team are all dead and you're being rushed by half the enemy team is a little too late, and being in that situation in the first place means ,again, that you were fucking useless. No one should have to wait for you to set up some so called "tactics" by yourself that at most will net you a few more kills, and do nothing for your team.
In short, fuck delayers, go play a single player game. This is a team game, it's not Thief online version. Your rant is particularly ironic in that you praise teamwork and last stand delayers at the same time. Diametrically opposed.

PS: Savage 2 was fucking great :D but Savage 2 was also a resource game with economic objectives (mines, bases, upgraded units/buildings). You can't really compare it to a cRPG round. It's like comparing Starcraft to Myth TFL.
