Here you can post ideas for future theme battles and feedback from the old ones. If you want to discuss some theme, do it in this thread.

Any historic reenactments coming up? Like crecy or east vs. west in crusades or something?

If I get good ideas. Historical reenactments require background work, so I've been avoiding them until now. But if you want such a theme battle, we will have one!

Non-serious stuff

White Mages :
- courtly outfit
- quarter staff

vs

Necromancers :
- robe (black one)
- vaegir helmet (?)
- staff


OR

Poseidon's Army :
- blue tunic
- trident + blue arena shield

vs

Athena's Army :
- red tunic
- boar spear + red arena shield

 :mrgreen:

Although I would prefer historical reenactments if they are well done  :wink:

That Viking vs Monks battle was not so "successful", from beginning to the end people whined about that Monks used 2h and horses...

We should anyway remake that battle, it was fun.. ehrm yeah it always can be improved!

One guy actually made a vid about that one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3eDLWZHJ08

I admit monks with horses was bit of a overkill, but I'm not really enthustiastic on recreating this one. It was easier for me to organize these battles in the past when strategus was up and I could buy all the equip. I think that nowdays we must hold these battles in the Fallen RP server, and players must buy their own gear for it.

As i said before, tournament arena. Using the arena armours and shields + practice weapons, only to organize the battles. Ofcourse, we could do larger than in singleplayer.

Maybe 10 players in each team?

I think this kind of fight is possible, but it seems a little boring to me.

Hmm.. i don't know. I really like arena tournaments :/. Don't you like 8 people in each coloured team killing each other?

I like this idea.
To reconstruct some history battle - it's hard from many points and (IMHO) isn't so serious interesting to players.
But to play in "restricted" rules battle -it's interesting.

FOr exaple it can be Falchion+Spears vs Sword+ Sword + shield

300 style battle.

naked persons with huscarls and 1-H weapons+spears

vs.

'Immortals' in black coat of plates, vaegir helmet, leatehr gloves, black boots and i dunno what weap

The spartans would be trying to hold some kind of passage with a shield wall, while immortals should be charging them

Excellent idea!

I think we could do the Rivacheg invasion some day next week. If someone cares to help me a bit with these by making an equipment list for both sides, I would appreciate it. I'm quite busy IRL now, but I can still organize the battle, I just need help with the details :D

Strategus is back, these will be also be back when I have to time from clan duties. Did you think I'd forget my lovely theme battles ;)

Nevertheless, I know every clan is busy recruiting, but if any neutral players want to participate, I'd appreciate very much.

I'd love to see some historical battles like agincourt or the battle of the golden spurs (Flemish pwesants PWNING French knights in 1302, litterally translated from Dutch, so prolly has another name in English)


note: mud that slows cavalry: slightly rough terrain that slows horses and infantry, althoug infantry significantly less that the horses.


Agincourt:

 muddy field that French team consisting of knights, footknights (2h, polearms and some 1h) and very few XBow must cross, while English lines consisting of longbowmen and mainly polearm infantry (polearm and some 1h as generals bodyguard) and 1 very expierienced archer leading the volkleys, and other archers just have to adjust to his angle.

Gulden spurs battle:

river with very much mud, French infantry charges into Flemish lines, fighting in the muddy river, where lightly armoured Flemish farmers with goedendags can move faster and medium retainers of the flemish aswell, compared to heavy french infa. French cav gets impatient and charges in, trampling the French infantry, and getting slaughtered in the mud.

Legends say the Flemish were losing slightly, untill the "golden knight" appeared and helped defeating the French, entirely clad in golden plate armour (how he got outta that muddy mess is a mystery)

English speaking clans VS Russian speaking clans.
The West VS the East.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Advantages:

Less language barriers
Easier to manage (1 russian guy in charge of the russian side, 1 english guy incharge of the western side)
Sounds more exciting?
More fun!
Title: Re: Theme battle - general discussion
Post by: Bulzur on July 15, 2011, 07:07:08 pm
Purpose is to bring people together, not establish battles becuase of borders. So -1 for Ming's idea.

+1 to this, could do Stone Age battles (naked with spiked clubs, goedendags, studded warclubs and sticks, or stone throwers with ragged outfit)

Could do opposing siege camps with siege shields and catapults and healing tents and siege towers.

Could have an assassin style game with deathmatch... some people RP as guards, someone is the VIP and a few are assassins.
