Faction Attributes, and continued footage
Hey guys, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this game, so much so that Ive gone through YouTube looking for all of the footage I could find. I've realized that new footage isn't coming out much and was just wondering if it might be a good idea to release new bits of footage now and then to keep this game in the fore front of consumer minds.
I was also interested in where the Vikings fit into the attribute scale, for example, Samurai are fast, deadly, but have low defense. Knights are tanky, and can take a bit longer to hit. I'm going to take a guess and say that you guys have already figured out where you want to place the Vikings (Norsemen), but I think a cool mechanic would be to introduce a berserk mechanic, where Vikings take damage more easily than Knights, but refuse to die in the heat of battle, so that as long as they continue to attack an enemy they will stay on the threshold of death, but once the blade stops swinging, the knees drop to the floor and they are stunned, ready for the killing blow. You could also introduce a mechanic where as Vikings drop in health their attacks will become increasingly wilder, faster, harder to block and more deadly (The beserker rage), but their care for their own defense diminishes and they take more damage and are slower to block themselves. This could improve the diversity of the tempo in fights, so fights increase and decrease in tempo and become more unique and interesting for players.
