"but teh styles donut match!"


Although I think it is kinda silly that such an overpriced piece of crap would even be put in the game

Maybe give Wakazashi 1/2 the price and +1 swing damage?

Then again, I don't ever plan on using this thing and people who use it tend to get killed like retards anyway, so devs can do whatever they want with it.

This thread gets a bit more traffic, so I feel the need to repost the "katanas are awesome" works cited here.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Re: Thrower/shielder Build?
« on: August 21, 2012, 10:10:07 am »
Here's a build that often gave me VERY mixed results, but it's fun to play regardless:

Level 31 (15 str, 21 agi)

skill points:
4 ironflesh
4 power strike
4 power throw
7 athletics
7 weapon master
6 shield

Proficiencies:
One hand: 100
Throwing: 145

Wear super light armor (I usually go with a Padded Jacket or Padded Cloth; you don't need much, just something to keep you living past getting hit once. You can outrun most enemies anyway, and with such high Shield skill, your shield can replace armor reasonably well, until some 2h hero comes around and bashes it to bits.)
Use your  throwing to support melee team-mates (I tend to hold off on this one due to fear of teamwounding), harass heavy infantry (lock them in pain state), and to keep archers from going to town on your team-mates. Afterwards, you can use your mid-tier melee stats to do competently well as a light-infantry support to your team-mates.

I usually go with:

12 war darts/ 6 javelins
Iberian mace (The war darts can kill off most enemy light troops, so it's good to save this for the heavy armor guys who can survive your dart spam)
Kite shield or Round Shield

OR

9 Heavy Throwing Axes
Kite shield or Round Shield
And I reserve last axe for melee.

Although this build makes a good support harasser, you tend to get completely outclassed by many builds in a 1 on 1 encounter. However, you can rely on your speed to find shelter or team-mates.

Next respec/retire, I'm going to switch things around a bit: Instead of using throwing as my main combat, I'm gonna just use it as pre-charge peppering, and focus more on strength, ironflesh, and power strike, as many of the above posted builds have done.

I'm worried about the time-frame crowd. I suppose if we can't have Roman gear, we can't have the older Saxon stuff. Ya know?

I suppose you could already have Roman gear, if you use your imagination.

Mail shirt, Golden Horde helm, Splinted Greaves, board shield, short sword, and javelins. You get something at least vaguely resembling ~100 bc Romans. Especially because that  Golden Horde Helmet has a decent semblance to the Montefortino model helmet.

Regardless, I do agree with your point- Seeing Lorica Segmentata, Imperial model roman helmets, etc would just annoy me greatly. And the mod has so far done a fairly decent job keeping chronological consistency in terms of the equipment. The 5th to 8th century viking stuff is really cool, but to a large extent the same "look" can already be covered by equipment that's already in the mod.


Rather, I think it would be interesting if we had some Indian/South-East Asian equipment. I think it would fill the geographical gap that the mod's equipment set currently does not fill, and they are distinct enough from the existing styles that they offer a new set of appearances players can customize their dudes with.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Re: Horse throwers - where are they? And why we don't see any of them nowadays?
« on: August 20, 2012, 08:56:18 pm »
Horse Throwing Accuracy is even worse than in native, also you don't get extra ammo

(often mounted javelineers in ancient times had javelin cases strapped to their horses)

easier to just be a horse archer or horse xbow, more ammo, can keep greater distance between yourself and enemy, and can actually hit stuff

I understand that, I'm not saying make it so every armor has the same cost effectiveness, but right now it is kind of silly when you see heavy infantry doods just getting Light Kuyak or Byrnja instead of something heavier (even if they have the str for it) because the weight and price trade-off isn't worth it.

I don't think the devs should necessarily change armor values, but I think that they should consider rebalancing armor weights. It kind of makes no sense that an armor that weights like double the weight of another armor only offers like 20% more defense, and almost ten times the cost.

Here is a poem I have written for you today about Katanas.

Katanas are fast, Katanas are strong, if you disagree, I'll cut off your dong.
Kanatas are sharp, they can cut through walls, if you disagree I'll rip off your balls.
