I mean would you think about eating it if you found a little TRex?

The size of a family does not mean that the family is well off or prestigious. Just means that your ancestor liked to get it on. :P

Apparently so.

Vikingr is and always has been a cracking mod, which really sorts out combat as far as possible within the confines of the games engine. It truly underlines the need for teamwork over individual prowess*, of the need for different weapons amongst the team** and overall how gritty fighting in a shield wall can be - whenever the teams meet in a chokepoint it gets very bloody, very quickly. Vikingr has a lot going for it and, alongside The Deluge, is one of my favourite Warband mods.

*Although some of us, to name no names, do have a habit of skirmishing & acting as a flanking force - Cora led the way, some of us learned from her/him/it/them the hard way. Generally with an axe to the head preceeded one nano-second earlier by Cora's scream. Oh that scream. *Shudders*
**The essential weapon of the mod is the spear. It's long, pointy, does lots of damage and upsets horsemen. If no-one on your team has a spear then horsemen can, and will, ride your team down, unless you have a very good archer. Talking of which with the troop limiter you don't have many of them kicking about and then they only carry up to 14 arrows.

But be carefull!

WildAlexa may seem to be a nice girl but in reality Aela is a witch that will haunt your nightmares! Since i fought her 7 times in fullmoon nights alone with her on the server i cant sleep anymore, because she haunts my dreams ...
There is no escape from here!


Oh, ... and ... she is a crackbaby

U`re calling me a crackbaby like its a bad thing!!! :mrgreen: Besides you are ALSO a crackbaby, Baleigr !  :!: 8-)


   and YES i will haunt you at night TWKing!! But  sleepless nights are worth what u`ll get from this mod! Its awesome and hope you`ll love it just as much as we all do! <3  :D

Aaah don't worry people, if you are scared of Aela, call Aelabusters now on 0800 66 666

We are a dedicated bunch of Normans who will happily gallop to Aela's house for you and kill. And it is really cheap, all you need to do is say that I am the rightful King of England and hey presto!  :D

Apparently sir, you have never seen my "flying axe to the face" technique.

And you've never seen my "Sidestep spear, turn, headshot rider out of the saddle before they've moved 5 feet away" with the Seaxon archer ;) It can be done with ranged weapons BUT you normally see people lob their throwing weapons long distances at infantry or miss cavalry altogether - I never take throwing weapons as I prefer using my spear to deal with horsemen - far more satisfying. I have seen teams get ripped apart by cavalry more times than I can count simply because people refuse to take spears, throw their throwing stuff at the infantry or can't judge hitting a moving horse, or archers loosing all of their shafts at distant infantry.

I agree with everything but the spear>throwing. But that is because I can't hit a meadhall with a spear even when I sit drinking in it.

I personally hate spears, they're a weapon for women / nerdy tryhards and those who can't fight properly with a short 1 handed weapon and must crutch on lolstabbing to kill people who aren't acquainted with that effective range exploit.

WITH THAT SAID, I roll like Hengwulf and pack the heaviest throwing crap available. "But Harkon what if I miss, I'm d00med!" WELL, BE LIKE ME AND DON'T MISS.

I mean would you think about eating it if you found a little TRex?

Well I hate throwing weapons - can't fight in a melee with any weapon? Then try and get kills whilst hanging back at range! At least we spearmen always get up closeish :P

Too bad we only get 1 then? :D

Yes, I'm excluding Gaels, but I thought that was implied. I don't play a faction whose men dress like women and get numerous and puny throwing weapons for very cheap.

What's a "crackbaby"? All it comes in my mind is a baby selling crack.
Meh... my english is poor...  :cry:

You are a viking rolemodel of manliness my dear Harkon. We will show those puny Gaells how to fight at Sulcoit, if the gods will let it.

Finnolfr, well she is a model. And aren't all models on crack?
