Melee only?

[//saxon]

if its going to be a melee only server, you might want to think about small maps, like EU_4 maps.

i remember one map on EU_4 it was a small tavern with an upper floor, good melee map very fast paced

no cav ofc,  just like the old nords melee only server

Also, not a high amount of slots, a maximum of 40 players would be enough.

Wasn't melee only if I remember properly. There was any form of bundle of sticksry & horse-ranged forbidden though.

involve cav, otherwise its just 2h heroes against 2h heroes, melee server needs diversity, thats why it wasnt played on last time, just make it like battle without the shitty projectiles.

I think that can be solved by allowing all melee weapons including longspears instead. Having cav in very small maps wouldn't really work out and we should reserve the feeling of being onehit by 2h cav to the battle servers.

if anyone joined with an cav character especially horse ranged they got banned. no chances, no forgiveness.

im pretty sure you could play cav and even horse thrower it was just HA and HX which were banned.


But a melee server would be nice, probably see a fair few pikes

are you gonna make the HRE DTV to HRE melee or keep both?

[Strudog]

Many of you didn't get what i said, 2h vs 2h was an exaggeration, but it did feel like that when the last melee server was up, when i mean add cav, of course 1h, pole and all that would be involved, its just ludicrous to think i just want 2h vs 2h.

I play pole myself

only one of the HRE servers is connected to the database, so it does not really make sense to keep both.

[Riddaren]

It's important to not disallow any melee weapons imo.
Crushthrough weapons and spears/pikes should be allowed or else it will be like Strudog said; "2h vs 2h duel server".

Whether to allow melee cavalry or not is another question.
Without ranged, cavalry becomes much more powerful.
On the other infantry doesn't have to worry about ranged either so it will be easier to be aware of all horsemen.

Horse thrower was allowed because they were rare and special/usless at the time before throwing got its buff. And it was "forbidden" to pick ammo back up. ALL forms of melee including cav were allowed tho.

again:  imo melee only,  just like the name says.  no ranged,  no cav.  I have only fond memories of it,  didnt know it had popularity issues though...
