What if 1H carried spears... :idea:
PK is back

PK is a collection of elites from throughout modern and ancient history. Giants of Calradia individually, as a group these gods of combat shatter all expectations and ascend to a higher plain of victory that only a few have seen before.

Well on open plain maps this would likely be encouraged. Its easier for everyone to collaborate if everyone can perform a similar defensive role to some capacity.

I feel like giving this thread a bump as it has been an extremely long time since I have seen any sort of teamwork / formation structure of an entire team on a public server. We used to get it on the rare occasion but with all these village maps, rambo tactics are encouraged and actual organisation is barely rewarded.

The best we see atm is clumped infantry trains. We used to have shield walls, cavalry lines and skirmisher groups.
This.
Even though to be honest it is sorta funny that all cav players are arguing that you need open flat maps for teamwork.  :P
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.

Cavalry are better on open maps -> therefore are more effective at picking off the loners and unaware

More open maps = better for cavalry = worse for rambos and heroes = better for teamwork

Simple!
