Alright team, what do you think of THIS?!

NAKED FANATIC at Level 33 (that's my plan - no retiring for this maniac. Hopefully after a naked career I'll be able to buy looms with pure GP).

Strength:        36
Agility:          9

Skill to attr:   14

Ironflash:        0
Power Strike:    12
Athletics:        3
Riding:           2 (for a Sumter to get to the action faster - not for use in combat)
Weapon Master:    3

Polearm prof 135.

Will use a polearm - probably the Long War Axe, since I'll be doing enough damage that I won't need its bigger cousin, and would rather have the 1 point of speed.

THOUGHTS?

NA, EU or both?

I don't yet know how clans or strategus work, but I, the NAKED FANATIC, will join!

Already lvl 24 and I've learned a thing or two, for my part, so I would be happy to extend my simple knowledge to even younger gen 1's.

Yeah, as the game has come along (or, as I've learned the play it) I've come to learn the value of non-crushthrough weaponry.

Still curious about low-prof throwing, though. Anyone played with it?

Finally, random question while I've got a thread dedicated to my own ramblings - is there a cap of 10 on each skill?

Scene Editing / Re: Blank map 1

Thanks, but the guide doesn't answer my issue - my map does not appear on the map list when I try to host a game.

Anyone know what might be happening?

No way, there was a clan called the Naked Fanatics? I missed the party.

As for archers, I'm pretty good at dodging when I can see who's shooting at me. It's sneak shots and shots when I'm climbing stairs/ladders that get me. But no, there is no real contingency plan there.

Scene Editing / Blank map 1

« on: December 16, 2012, 08:44:51 am »

Hi guys,

Hope I haven't already screwed myself, but here's the deal:

I have done lots of scene editing on vanilla M&B - as in, editing already existing scenes. I was really excited to see CRPG's "Scene Editor" tool - finally, a chance to start from scratch - so I hit it with all of the skills I had from my casual alterations before.

Now, my "blank map 1" is a custom map. Not sure where to go from there. Can I rename it? How do I test-play it (it won't appear when I select "host a game" or what have you, skipping right to Blank 2 on the list).

Thanks for helping a first timer. Hopefully I can contribute some good maps to the community, once I have a better handle on what I'm doing.

I have a naked alt that's 27/12 that uses a iron staff. It kicks ass. I might have gone 24/15 for more ath but I wanted more PS to kill things faster since I don't want extended fights when I'm naked.

There aught to be a naked clan.

I think you misread the cmp quote. Naked runners don't contribute. the only place our friend here is running, is into the fray, with a weapon trying to get kills. that is not leeching, that is mortal combat of the nudest variety. he is not naked kiting unarmed.

Here here!

How about this (long maul build using that calc CrazyCracka provided):

Code: (NAKED FANATIC 21/18) [Select]

Level:           30

Strength:        21
Agility:         18

Attr to skill:    0
Skill to attr:    8

Ironflash:        0
Power Strike:     7
Shield:           0
Athletics:        6
Riding:           0
Horse Archery:    0
Power Draw:       0
Power Throw:      4
Weapon Master:    6

One Handed:       1
Two Handed:       1
Polearm:        140
Archery:          1
Crossbow:         1
Throwing:        86
^{using cRPG NewGen calc}

Throwing is meant to be used from 10 feet away, tops. Could I get away with less prof?

Well, My character (Naked_Fanatic) is anything but that. I throw myself in with the best of them. It's just a question as to how.


EDIT: I see now (learning how the site works) that my kill ratio for that first few hours was 2 kills for every 17 deaths. That might actually count as leaching, haha. But then again, I was still getting gear.

you can already abandon that idea.


playing naked = leeching = banable =  NOT FUN
i guess you dont want to be banned from the servers because you have a new build and didnt know the rules yet. I dont think there is  a single server where you are allowed to play naked. all admins and players will instantly start to warn/kick/ban you.

Hmm, I played for a few hours last night on a NA server with a proto-build, and nobody seemed to mind... definitely died more than I killed, but I was carrying my own weight enough to avoid pissing people off. But, maybe you're right. Could pose a problem later, I suppose.

Also, what's leeching?

And yes, "never getting shot" is impossible. But I don't mind getting taken down every here and there. It's about glory, after all.

So you guys suggest an agility build, for a light-armored (if not naked) character?

Hey guys,

I'm a new player with wild and offputting ideas. Even if you think they're stupid, perhaps you might play along, just for the sake of fun?

The idea is a naked build - IE, no body armor - designed to kill as fast as possible without getting hit. To that end, I won't use any Iron Flesh - like I said, getting hit is not an option.

Now here's the kicker - I want to use the Great Maul. Seems the quickest tool to get the job done. But, I don't want to be completely defenseless when charging an archer, so... a little throwing?

What do you think? Any suggestions? If you were to do this moronic build, how would you do it? What's the minimum PA and 2-handed prof I could get away with, while still packing a punch, so as I have some room to train a little throw?
