An idea for a mission

[Kniggit]

i have an idea that might add a little flavor to the boring missions.

Instead of fetch me this, capture him and bring him to me, why not have something like, eradicate this rabble

My idea would be that every once in awhile there will be an uprising. This could be over taxed peasants, or just poor water pirates that decided to form an army

Thier numbers would be along the lines of 400-500 men/women so it would be a fun mission. And the king could offer a reward of a large amount of denars, or better yet, instead of money, why dont they give a rare item, like reinforced plate or balanced SOW?

Im just a little tired of these small groups of men, the battle is over to quick

With Regards To The Reward:

Yes, some weapon that even if it has no "extra" properties (since this is not a supernatural fantasy game) has a name or lineage: Ganzo's Hammer, Ka's Blade, Swadia's Bane.

Perhaps this reward weapon could look different: pearl handled? gems? engravings?

And if one were defeated in combat, you could lose this weapon and have to spend some time hunting down the SOBs who killed your party and took your Bow of Vaegir.

It would be better than more denars to add to your wallet.

With Regards To The Enemy Party Size:

Do you mean a superparty of 500? Would we still fight them in successive waves? I mean I'm good but I'm no superman. I'm an archer. I'll try and wing their leader and his second-in-command, and you Kniggit, take the 500 on the left.

No, since about day 50 you already have all the gold you really need

I'm an archer. I'll try and wing their leader and his second-in-command, and you Kniggit, take the 500 on the left.

Deal

i dont know whether this is quitewhat iwant from another type of mission, but more would be very good

 

[Kniggit]

also it would be great if you dont have to take it like

King Haralus:
I need you to take care of an uprising for me, now you've always been dependable but can you handle the situation?

Ian:
Depends on what the situation is my king.

King Haralus:
Some peasant have grown pset over the new taxes, but it is a nessisary tax. Many have begun to openly rebel. Are you ready to face a force of hundreds of poorly trained, angry peasants?

this is where you can aggre or not

Ian:
I would be an honor to dispose of these lawless criminals. I will do this my king.

or

Ian:
My lord, im ashamed to say that me and my force are not adequate to dispose of this many men my lord.

King Haralus can be overjoyed or dissapointed

King Haralus:
Excellent! I knew i could count on you, you are by far the bravest soldier in my whole army, do this task, and thy shall have the reward thou so rightly deserves.

or

King Haralus:
Well, i was probly asking too much anyway, i will get a more able leader to handle the task for me....

Insetad of one huge army, maybe have several (10 or so) smaller, but still alrge armies spawn and run around. It'd seem more like an invasion or a rebellion than one large group.

 

[Wanderer]

500 peasants? I'd fall asleep bored to death. The only thing that battle might do is get my horse crippled. It wouldn't even be worth the xp.

I'd be fighting my knights 2/3's of the time just to get near a target.

 

[Arathiel]

well, you could tweak the battle size for this kind of battle maybe. Since you don't have to worry about them having horses to lag it up, you could probably spawn 40+ peasants per wave, to make things a bit more interesting for all the uberfighters.

 

[Tarrak]

I'm more for several smaller armies, say 80 each. And each of them would have a core of Militia, Watchmen or similar tier 1 troops. You would need to dispose all of them to get the reward.

I do like that you could get a special weapon, but wouldn't it suck to get a Club of Swadia??? No rather that you would get an upgrade to your current weapon, like that mentioned with gems and so on. An upgraded longsword could become a Nobility Sword, a Nordic would become a Hird Sword, Scimitar would become Damascus Scimitar and so on... That would be nice.

 

[Tarrak]

Btw, another mission could be, "hunt down these deserters, nobody runs from my army!".

 

[Ingolifs]

I'd like to see other hero types, or at least captains who lead their armies around doing pretty much what you do. Anyway, if there was an uprising like this, with 5 groups of 100 peasants, I'd expect the king to send more than just you against them. I'd expect to see Vaegir war companies descend on the rebels to get their share of the rewards.

There's a slightly different idea. Other heroes, not necessarily in your party, but doing things on their own. When defeated, they cannot be killed, but can be captured and ransomed to counts and stuff.

 

[Keemo]

I would like to see other hereos around too and quests for their capture. Similar to how Pirates! has other rival captains. They should be challenging to defeat and instead of tons of money they should have a rare item(s) and advance your rank and quest with your faction. Even if it's an item you don't use you could give it to Marnid and Borcha.
