Can you guys add Spartans as a class? I believe Spartans are another huge warrior that everyone loves and thinks is awesome. They are one of the most elite if not the most elite ancient warriors. I think they would fit in. Also I think they would be the only class with a shield if I'm not mistaken.

They may add more factions later but for now I believe they are just trying to fine tune what they have and for launch 3 factions are plenty. Maybe in the future we'll see more! As for "classes", each faction has a number of heroes that play differently with different weapons. My guess is for the knights and possibly vikings there will be a hero that uses a shield. I'd put my money on that we may get more heroes (classes) for each faction before a new faction.Originally Posted by j0kerkevin2011 Go to original post

The problem is that it's just no fair fight.
Ten knights could kill any number of Spartans because, well, bronze weapons against steel just isn't such a good match. And minimalistic bronze armor doesn't hold up all that well when compared to a full body steel armor.
There's simply no comparison. Even Samurai against Knights and Vikings against Knights is already a stretch, but Spartans will be overdoing it.
I mean, why don't we feature the Zulu? Exactly the same reason, it just doesn't make sense for their weapons to be any match against full steel plate.

On the subject, It would be pretty cool to have musket carrying soldiers. Not an idea worth making, but it would make for a very different play-style. Sure they have range, but one swift slash from nave to chops would stop them.
An army of knights charging at a broadside of muskets makes for a nice picture too.

No, more classes doesn't mean better game, and we are talking about Factions here, I rather have 3 factions with 4-6 classes each, but well defined classes which every one of them are unique on their own way, than having 8 factions with 8 classes each that are just the same but with different art.Originally Posted by MrJ0kerR Go to original post
And like some other people said, Spartans doesn't make sense in the game style.

Spartan's don't fit the story line...the lore that we know so far.
of course, a faction from the field could always come in and try to get their piece, but they'd need to be fairly current since Vikings, Knights and Samurai all existed at the same time.
now, for the fun of it, they could possibly introduce an Arena mode where other warrior nations can be played that have nothing to do with the story line, but I would ask that be as unimportant as developing the game play that follows the story line and expands on it!

They might been great warrior for their age, but Knights, Samurais or Vikings where tecnologicaly more developed, you cant compare steel vs bronze.Originally Posted by MrJ0kerR Go to original post
And although Knights never fought against Samurais, there were Samurais when there were Knights, or Vikings. But Spartans are from 1000 years before those others.
There are other factions that would make more sense for the game, such as Mongols, or some Asian warriors. Even though mongols where known for large battle scales, it wouldn't be that bad to add them.
But as I said, I rather have 3 factions with 5 classes that each one are unique in his own way, that have copypasta classes all across 7-8 factions.
