Post by: myxbox on November 03, 2014, 02:00:05 am
you have to add slingshots would be the coolest thing load like a crossbow throw like a rock if anyone has a better Idea for slingshots feel free to say something.

This should be suggestion corner, but good idea :D Only thing bad is it probably won't do anything to plate.

for plate you could do something like iron slings or what ever slingshot ammo is called

Amazing idea, load with stones and shoots shorter and more inaccurate than hunting xbow. Deals blunt damage.
You could take donkey cav to a new low of uselessness!

Just an fyi with your poll

Cheers.

Thought about it before. Could have the player need to time when you release the shot which would add some skill to ranged. Don't think you can do slings properly in the engine though..can't even do flowing capes that don't stick to legs, won't be able to do swinging slings
If it uses the same game mechanics as throwing/xbows then its kind of pointless as they are easily the most generic/shittiest game mechanics in the mod, don't need more similar things

I disagree sir, throwing is probably the most satisfying thing in this shit game

I would come back to slingshot people. Make it insanely inaccurate and slow to reload because you have to pick up(find) a stone off the ground. Headshots are instant kill.

I too wish to kill the Goliath with a sling
Also, personalized messages on the shot being slung

Make a mini version of the ballista to be held in hand and cranked, but with stones for reload xD

Wait are we talking slings, or slingshots here? There's a difference and it's important to separate the 2.

Well I thought they were talking about slingshot, but slings seem more fitting for the game!

Regardless whether Devs thinks slingshots don't have a place in a medieval game (it does historically), Chivalry Medieval Warfare pulled it off nice.
But only problem i believe is Warbands engine limitations. I remember them saying they couldn't add flail with chain so i guess this is the same thing. Although it depends on what kind of slingshot or sling you mean.

didn't make this clear have you played a total war game with slingers well I meant slings not a slingshot thank you clockworkkiller for reminding me I meant slings. Like the ones you spin the launch but there is no animation for that so you simply load it like a crossbow throw like a throwing weapon like I said in my first message.

I would just add it in as another throwing weapon. Except you would have to buy ammo for it? Not sure.

You could make a new section for it or throwing ammo could be called sling rocks.

Some of you said, that a sling won't work, but I have a mod on my computer with a great animation and it works really good. I don't know its name in the moment but I could post the name here when I'm at my computer again.

Won't making the animations for this be a ton of work?
They have "animations" for a sling in Brytenwalda, but in reality its just a tweaked crossbow animation for loading, and a throwing weapon animation for firing.
