More requirements? Haha.
Crossbows were designed for the battle-retarded in the Medieval Era.

You pulled back a string and pulled a lever. Is that too hard?

The only form of government which actually makes sense for the long-term success of the species as a collective whole.

Never said I hate Socialist Security, err.. Obama Care, err... Socialism.
(JK, Obama Care is the best thing since Gator Aids.)

Actually, I was having a serious conversation about the possibility of Socialism with a friend a couple days ago, directly after the state of the union address (Where Obama mentioned many moves that suggest a move towards a more Socialist government, including his proposed "total reform" of "how this government works")

After some deep consideration, Socialism isn't such a bad thing. Government does the taxes for you, it creates tons of new jobs and allows the government to run and purchase businesses.

If you are virtually useless without a horse, your problem is probably not with map rotation. Try posting in the Beginner Section for tips, not the Scene Editing section.

Alternatively, play Mount & Blade: Warband. The single-player is a great introduction to fighting in cRPG.

Although normally I would usually label this player as 'butthurt', I myself am noticing a decline in players. Not only that, but I've been playing less and less...

Face it guys. Upkeep is Socialism.

Great song, loved the lyrics but the instrumental solos played the main part in my mind. The lyrics were nice, if a little blurred out by modulated guitar.

I have a Medium Cavalry and I can't agree with this. We get plenty of open maps (50% of the time?). Don your sword, learn2block and stop with the complaining.

On a side note, all of the others baww about open maps due to "OP archers"

Seems like it'd add to realism. But I'd prefer if our suggestions were kept on easily coded things that would be useful and used in the game. The way I see this is teammates jump on your horse at spawn and don't leave. It would get fuckin' annoying.

Scene Editing / Re: Finished Maps

Two of my first maps in one pack. I had a third but scrapped it due to a scripting error that created a very.. very large hole in the middle of the map. Both of them are in a zip folder for your downloading please and come bundled in raw code and .sco as to confuse the hell out of anyone that doesn't make their own maps.

Entrenched Encampments was my first big project and I really like how it turned out. Since this screenie I've spruced it up a bit to the version that's in the download now by doing some terrain edits and fine-tuning the vegetation. As you can see there's a Sarranid camp and a Vaegir-themed camp on opposing sides of the map where the players shall spawn. I put a sparsely covered plain in the dead center which I hope players won't be stupid enough to charge across.

The forest, I desperately hope, will be used even if it seems somewhat out of the way. I know the ruins are going to be a hot spot for the Sarranids as they can pelt advancing Vaegirs with arrows. However I tried to give each team a defensive edge; The Vaegirs have a small archer's fortification nearby along with protection from the rocky stream and forest. The Sarranids are fairly close to the solid side of the farm house and also have immediate access to the castle ruins. In this sense I hoped to create balance for both sides while also promoting some strategy.

Map Two: Snowy Wastes ::

This map is a very simple one but one I thought the server could use. It's a forest. A very, very dense forest with rolling hills on the snowy base. Here and there is a cav alley or a spot of ruins for the archers, but it's mostly dense woodland. I wanted to give the cavalry a chance in this one so I spread out the trees in some areas manually. They should be happy with the increased arrow protection they get from the trees.

 Now I didn't want this map to be a hellhole for the ranged builds either which is where the ruins and gentle hills came in, giving them easily accessible fortifications and vantage points. Finally the infantry, whom seemingly rule this map are protected from both the other classes by the dense forest cover (in most areas).

The map is slightly narrowed and elongated.

Updated!

Then everyone would just rush across the bridge...
The rest of the map would be rendered useless...
