Advice for a total noob?

[Winged Dark Angel]

my tips for vikingr and maby native for new players are 1) get okay equipment,i say that because allot of players do forget armor and shields for two handed axe's and basterd swords in native and do the same thing in vikingr and get wrecked. 2) use the ¬ key to look behind you if your getting pushed from the front and think theres some one behind you. 3) vikingr and native are completely diffrent,only some tactics will still work from native so use the team chat and improvise a little if you have to.

Few advices from Caveman!

1. Take shield if your not good dueling. And take strong shield, beacuse somebody is always smashing your free weak shield to pieces.
2. Take backup weapon, if somebody kick you, you drop your current weapon (this not happen everytime of course but it is good to have backup weapon, like seax)
3. Take javelin, it maybe save your life in tought positivion and dont hesitate to shoot a good target if you see one and shoot to legs, it is very nasty and deadly . But ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT IS ENEMY, NOT TEAMMEMBER IF YOU ARE GOING SHOOTING ANYONE WITH JAVELIN!
4. Listen your leaders orders and be with your team, lone wolf thing not work.
5. And watchout ponys! Belive me, horsie and spear are nasty thing  . Silly horsies...
6. If you have spended all money to fancy armors and helmets and there is no money to weapons, take butterknife (seax) it is free weapon and take club if you have few coins left to buy it.

These are my advices and i am pretty well survied in battle with these tips, but i am Caveman and proud one

my advices:

1. dont chase cav
2. listen to more expirinced players durning battle
3. dont care to much about youre kill/death ratio cause its better with all youre buddies still alive than you left with a ton of cash and kills.
4. use whatever weapon you like, and  would suggest an onehanded axe

DON'T CHASE CAV!!!

Not very smart to attack a dude with only a spear or a 2h axe either, they normally know what they do and is harder to kill.
