New Throwing Weapon Suggestion

[Tomas]

I would like to see Boulders added to the game (seriously  )

Potential Boulder Stats could be

missile speed: 2
weapon length: 30
weight: 15
accuracy: 50
difficulty: 4
speed rating: 50
max ammo: 1
thrust damage: 50 blunt
slots: 4
Can't sheath
Can't use on horseback
Crushthrough
Knockdown
+ Some Splash Damage
Price: 4k

This would make the Boulder virtually useless in battles but very effective when defending a castle as you can drop it on your enemies.  It wouldn't be OP in Siege mode though since you only get 1 and have no proper backup weapon.  In Strat on the other hand where defenders usually have weapon racks they could be extremely useful and give organised defenders a nice bonus. They would also make throwing more useful in Strat as currently it is rarely used.

A 2H throwing animation would be nice to go with it, but if that is the only thing in the way of this being added then I'd say stuff the animation, lets have the weapon

Finally - just imagine defending your Strat Castle with the attackers storming up a ladder whilst you wait at the top with your boulder ready to crush them as they get to the top along with the ladder as well   It would be epic

difficulty: 4

I think a boulder is an awesome idea, but shouldn't the difficulty be higher? I wouldn't expect dudes who are too weak to use a Langes Messer to be throwing boulders off of castles.

I`d like a bunch of burning oil too
Would be funny to see burning siegetowers and ladders with burning and crying enemies on top

The 4 slots mirror the fact that you have to use ALL your strength to use this weapon so I don't think the difficulty needs to be all that high.  Remember also that you can't block with this weapon and there is no finnese to it so you don't need excess strength to be able to wield it properly like with the Great Maul.

Lol - that is actually where this post started. I was playing Stronghold and though to myself - wouldn't Boiling Oil be great in cRPG.  Then I decided to go with something more feasible instead.  I would still support the addition of Boiling Oil to the game though if at all possible

Hell Yes!

lol yes! I would love this. But yeah the difficulty should be around 6. Totally realistic too.
Add a poll so i can vote yes on it!

Boulders have been suggested for years.
