[Everkistus]

Here you can post ideas for future theme battles and feedback from the old ones. If you want to discuss some theme, do it in this thread.

Any historic reenactments coming up? Like crecy or east vs. west in crusades or something?

If I get good ideas. Historical reenactments require background work, so I've been avoiding them until now. But if you want such a theme battle, we will have one!

Non-serious stuff

White Mages :
- courtly outfit
- quarter staff

vs

Necromancers :
- robe (black one)
- vaegir helmet (?)
- staff


OR

Poseidon's Army :
- blue tunic
- trident + blue arena shield

vs

Athena's Army :
- red tunic
- boar spear + red arena shield

 

Although I would prefer historical reenactments if they are well done

Who wants historical reenactments? Hands up!

Oh, and good luck with future events. If you need any support for anything, feel free to ask, and i'll try to help.

That Viking vs Monks battle was not so "successful", from beginning to the end people whined about that Monks used 2h and horses...

We should anyway remake that battle, it was fun.. ehrm yeah it always can be improved!

One guy actually made a vid about that one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3eDLWZHJ08

I admit monks with horses was bit of a overkill, but I'm not really enthustiastic on recreating this one. It was easier for me to organize these battles in the past when strategus was up and I could buy all the equip. I think that nowdays we must hold these battles in the Fallen RP server, and players must buy their own gear for it.

As i said before, tournament arena. Using the arena armours and shields + practice weapons, only to organize the battles. Ofcourse, we could do larger than in singleplayer.

Maybe 10 players in each team?

I think this kind of fight is possible, but it seems a little boring to me.

Hmm.. i don't know. I really like arena tournaments :/. Don't you like 8 people in each coloured team killing each other?

I like this idea.
To reconstruct some history battle - it's hard from many points and (IMHO) isn't so serious interesting to players.
But to play in "restricted" rules battle -it's interesting.

FOr exaple it can be Falchion+Spears vs Sword+ Sword + shield

[Everkistus]

1.*Robocop vs Criminals. (tin can with a sword vs looters)

2.*snowball fight! (stones only)"

3.*axe-throwers vs turtles!"

4.*Looneytoons axes vs daggers!"

5.*xbow tincans vs bowmen in tights!"

6.*The Battle of Thermopylae (bottleneck with 3 huscarl shielded "spartans" vs mobs of "persians")"

7.*Iceage Mammoth hunt (1 or 2 plated chargers with full plate riders with steel shields turtling vs naked natives with darts)"

8.*Ladderpult Arena Extreme!"

9.*XP pyramid king of the hill! (ladders making a pyramid, the players will climb up and try to be the king of the hill)"

10.*7 samurai! (samurai protect peasants from bandit horsemen)"

11.*Civilian Sawhouse! (take on an old quake map, a "flag" must be carried across a field by naked peasants, guarded by 2 tank cavalry)"

12.*DESTROY THE TEMPLE! (high priests must defend a massive siege shield/ladder temple)"

13.*Ogre vs angry mob! (torches and pitchforks!)

14.*Boxing match! (helmet, gauntlets and boots only!)

This all is from the old thread in TW forums. I'm willing to organize another theme battle some day next week, so if we can pick a good theme we can have a battle!

I vote for: 2, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14.

[Torp]

300 style battle.

naked persons with huscarls and 1-H weapons+spears

vs.

'Immortals' in black coat of plates, vaegir helmet, leatehr gloves, black boots and i dunno what weap

The spartans would be trying to hold some kind of passage with a shield wall, while immortals should be charging them

[Thtb]

I vote for

"No Katana/strange armor" battle... that would be something new.
