I love Mount and Blade , it is my best game at the moment . However i am never happy with games , i am always looking for a way to improve the game itself -thank god for mods- yet i am still not satisfied
. I am yet to see mods which enhance the game play its self , for example realism mods.
I was in a battle with swidia and got taken out by a knight with a lance at high speed it looked painful to say the least. i wonderd to my self
"that was at quite a high speed , wouldent it be awesome if the lance somehow broke and was left in my avatar ?"
i began to ponder on this . I realise that i have no computer skill what so ever i can hardly understand editing the "item_kinds1.txt" file.
(i can be renowned as a bit of an eccentric by some) i started mind mapping ideas and came up with a few ideas.
they are as fallows
-At corresponding speeds to the condition of the spear or lance, mace or sword and so on . it could shatter or brake on impact with the target impaling into said target or the targets shield though the shield would probably just brake(for example +100% dmg could brake a bent spear or lance , similarly a master work spear or lance could only brake at +900%)
-An animation for disgarding items -rather then them just appereing on the ground possibly a nice sound effect to go along with it -
-An animation for picking something up
-Bloody Dismemberment
-Or for people who like blunt weapons Biconcave-able body parts (I.E bloody crater to the face!!)
-Throwable weapons "ERE YOU!!!! CATCH!!! -throws 2handed war hammer at terrified peasant-"
-Magic ? (obviously this has nothing to do with realism but would be awesome for the wizard in all of us)
-Multable targets - It has often annoyed me that doing a horrizontal attack with a claymore-like weapon will only strike the first person no matter how good the blade is or how much strength you have-
-Crippled limbs - Possible some kind of health system for each limb and A corresponding animation expressing effects of battle ,
hindering your movement
-Ability for infantry sprint/charge - talking about hindering your movement , even wilst not in armor your avatar runs like an old man (unless you put up your athletics obviously) but even then a sprint option would be nice ,specialy for an infantry charge
-Fatigue - this would add a whole new ball park to combat in my opinion-
(-Medieval Jim Carry as a companion - this was my good friend Kris's idea . Jim Carry form "Cable Guy" spesificly the seen at "Medieval Times" with corresponding quoats such as "GET BACK HERE SO THAT THY MIGHT BRAIN THEE!!" and "THIS IS OUR DESTENY!!!"
personaly i thought this would be a helarious addition to the game
lol)
These are just some ideas but if anyone has the expertise to realise my dream i would be contented . Also some credit for the idea wouldnt go a miss
