The Viking Berserkers were known to have consumed special mushrooms found in Yggdra forest before battles that apparently would "slow" time for them, remove pain, and give them a rage so powerful they could smash their enemies into oblivion.

There is actually many stories about them in Nordic lore.

For example the lone Berserker who defended a village from approximately 40 enemies on the villages only entrance which was a bridge. Although the Berserker died at the end of the battle (His arm was lopped off near the end of the battle but continued to cut enemies down despite the minor flesh wound) with his final words being "now the village is safe".

This needs to have a film adaptation, now.

Consumable enhancements would be awesome. I could see Heroin_ATS abusing them quite badly :P

The only down side is that these consumable would be fairly unrealistic.

For those who have indulged in such things as nordic battleshrooms you will know that the effects can last many hours and would be unrealistic if they only worked for 30 seconds.

^^ I agree with the film adaptation.

A fighter is more dangerous, starved, sick, injured, sleep-deprived, drunk and naked than the normal person is well-fed, healthy, whole, rested, cold sober and armed to the teeth

Naked without weapons is banable, but as long as you have a weapon you will not get banned.

not to ruin anything but uh...
pretty much EVERYONE was a thrower in real life. People all carried a few javelins (or at least something to throw at the enemy) with them into battle. Why the hell wouldn't you? That could be a broken enemy shield, an injured or killed enemy. One less dude to fight and maybe even a broken phalanx.
Also, I have declared myself #1 NA hybrid thrower
Formerly known as Marathon.
As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.
