Game mode - Cattle raids

So I thought about this when I reading about Gaelic warriors and their tactics and the main form of fighting wars in Ireland, was for Cattle. Many Clans set up cattle raids to steal the enemy's Cattle which was the main show of wealth at those days ( Because currency wasn't implemented back then)

So I thought of this Cattleraid Gamemode when it seemed a bit silly sounding, like Defend the Virgin. So I imagined it should take a silly approach.

Team 1's Objective is defending the cattle from being stolen, the Amount of players justifies how many cattle there is.
Now it could go

- The Cattle is invulnerable and its a matter of just Killing off the enemy and defending and or Retrieving the Cattle.

- The Cattle can Die and if they Die to defenders hands they get penalized and if they die to the Offenders hands they get penalized.

Now the Cattle wont be this thing that follows you, you will be Riding the Cattle, One by one.

The Cattle will be Strong, loads of hit points and most importantly, Slow.
- Anyone can ride the Cattle and the users riding skill does not give an advantage.

Now the outcome, if the Defenders have 2/4 cattle remaining they will get all get a reward for having 2 remaining but a penalty because they were supposed to be Defending them, the Offenders will get the same amount of money but More because they got the Cattle and that's what they came for, so all in all which ever team has the most cattle wins but if it ends up with a tie, the Offenders win.

Team 2's Objective is Stealing the Cattle and that means by any means necessary, they will have a Point where to take the Cattle to.
But the Offenders have to remember the other team can Ride the cattle too and bring it back to the Pen.


I hope you Liked my suggestion.

Sounds funny  :mrgreen:
The logic of war seems to be that if a belligerent can fight he will fight.

Riding skill 0 so everyone can Ride the cattle and Riding skill does not affect the speed.

I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

Oh god, this sounds awesome :D

Although what happens if you whistle? :/
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

chadz perma bans you.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

I like the idea but riding the cattle is a bit silly. You should be able to herd them with player actions/commands and horses though. Also if they are fenced in have movable/breakable gate similar to siege. Maybe the objective for attackers could be to herd them onto a waiting viking boat, lol.

I like it, though it seems like the perfect mode for griefers. Well, I guess that's why we have admins right?

Point of the game is it to be silly, for example, Defend the virgin seems absurd aswell as rage ball so why not ride the cattle, but aside the fact that it should be silly, herding animals isn't fun at all, Riding them tho... that's another thing. ( If you have played Mount and Blade Native you would know how annoying it is herding animals, Remember that cRPG isn't for Realism, its for fun. )
