SP Fantasy Warsword Conquest - New Opening Post

[Birger Jarl]

Remember when the Orcs didn't have proper two-handers?

Spoiler

That time has passed. I even made a couple of new units to replace the Savage Orcs (seemed rather redundant to have them in the actual Orc troop tree when they can also be hired as mercs).

 

[Captain Melon]

DAT IZ AH PROPPA ORKY CHOPPA. U made yerself or u got took from Grim Age or w.e?

 

[Birger Jarl]

Haha, nah. It is a Warsword vanilla choppa that I enlarged and elongated. Anyhow, I need name suggestions for this new line of Orc troops.

Calling them "Bigchoppa Boyz" feels like a cop-out....

 

[mikeboix]

Looks good, but better start adding the amazing Grim Age items yet! 

When will we have new version?

Cheers!

Maybe "headkleava boyz"? mmm... SupaChoppa 64 ... headchoppa boyz? I kind of imagine them always going straight to the head with that big-ass axe, for some reason.

 

[leonn]

bonce splittas.

 

[leonn]

bonce splitta boyz?

Headkleava sounds like "headclever" and this is'nt orcy at all

Another conundrum: Orc weapons are huuuge. Thus their implied reach is far longer than their actual range. This makes them awkward to use as a player because while the weapon model clearly connects it doesn't hit.

So I was thinking: what if I added X range while also removing X speed.... This woukd give the orcs big but slow weapons.

 

[Khorne himself]

Orcs are so strong that when even though their weapons are really big, they can swing them very fast, but you could change the strength requirement

Hey Birger Jarl, I've been playing around with Bretonnia for a short while and was wondering which troop line leads to grail/questing knights? Just that the man-at-arms and battle pilgrim lines cut off for me =/

Agreed, however giving them the range increase with no drawback is a huuuge advantage which could potentially make them overpowered.

The first Cavalry unit is the Yeoman which I think upgrades from the Man at arms line.

Thanks!

 

[Khorne himself]

I think the questing knights are the special units of the bretonnians

Birger, better leave the orcs in peace for some time You know the results...

 

[Birger Jarl]

Birger, better leave the orcs in peace for some time You know the results...

The result is awesomesauce.

But yeah, that's why I am hesitant to just give them a range increase... 

 

[Articulo34]

Birger, better leave the orcs in peace for some time You know the results...

Not even in that kind of sentence can you put together "orcs" and "peace". So you better fix it young man!

Orcs using bows is an heresy ! You must fix that !

 

[Birger Jarl]

Orcs using bows is an heresy ! You must fix that !

There are actually orc longbowmen in tabletop.

They are all about releasing a massive volley in the hopes that at least one arrow hits rather than actual accuracy, but still!

 

[ShaneRoach]

....

So orcs kill Boromir with arrows...

I am not aware of any work where orcs are featured where they can't use arrows. LOL!

Now... dwarfs on horses? Well... THAT'S a heresy. I mean, I am a heretic, but still...
