I have always wished for some tabard, shield heraldics,a colored scarf, a bandana.. something to indicate friend or foe.please make this happen zagibu!
Hope some new game actually implements this... :wink:
Funny thing is that this only works as long as few people do it. If everyone on the server would do it there would be no one confidently charging anyone and the amount of clues about who is friend or foe would drop to near zero. Two people playing without banners staring at eachother and having no way of working out whether to attack or not. A server with this would be terrible and basically come down to how well you rememberd the guys that spawned with you.
Also, sadly I don't know what nick you use zagibu, but thanks for the info on your playstyle. I would totally try to win your trust by appearing non threathening and then whack your skull in after having followed you around for a while :twisted:
Multiplayer medieval game with Dayz gameplay?Never, a survival based RPG with swords etc!
am I in heaven?
You primitives! This is my UI(click to show/hide)
I recently started to play like this:
- banners off on friends and foes alike
- ctrl + h
This means you can't tell friend from foe, which means you have to play defensively, and see if the dude running at you actually attacks or just passes you by. It's a lot of fun. It also encourages team play, because it works best if you follow someone you are certain is a friend, then attack the same dudes together.
If you want, first person view for even more immersion, but personally, I like to look at my character's ass.

... we don't do changes because we want the game to be more realistic. We do changes because we feel they are right. If they fit with realism, that's great, and it's also our guideline, but almost never the reason for a change. We are not trying do create a simulator, we are trying to create a game.

No rules - I request, NAY, I DEMAND an upgraded HRE Autoblock http://forum.melee.org/general-discussion/autoblock-v4-02-%28only-selling-to-clans%29-update-28-03-2013/ (http://forum.melee.org/general-discussion/autoblock-v4-02-%28only-selling-to-clans%29-update-28-03-2013/) version with this advanced UI overlay shit!that's some top notch rocket surgery there, I'm not sure if I can copy that! D:
I like the idea but after trying it for 10 minutes worked out why coloured tunics etc were worn when fights between similarly equipped armies happened. Its ok if you are with alot of clanmates/old players you can recognise but otherwise it doesnt work very well.
Strat battles with everyone wearing heraldic armours/barding would be good.
well if everyone did this it would be impossible to play.
You lack imagination.listen, i completed Mount and blade original single player once and warband single player twice in 1st person, didn't even know you could go 3rd person until i started playing this mod 3 years ago.
Wow... you really should try 3rd person though, it's 100x easier to see who's attacking your flanks and you can judge distances better. I played on 1st person for a while when I was starting out but once I mastered 3rd person, there was no going back. 1st person is what I play when I'm drunk or something, mostly for the shits and giggles because it's harder. Unfortunately, immersion doesn't help much when you're deadwell, i believe me playing in 1st person is just the same as you playing in 3rd, ive mastered panning around even inbetween attacking and blocking im always panning around, i do it automatically, so i see everything, i miss nothing. if i was ever going to use 3rd, i would be using it to look around corners, or to check my characters outfit, which i do frequently.
You lack imagination.Then enable mumble for maximum feelz

I can see myself in that picture! I'm the one performing the overhead attack.
