"And STAY down!"

[Waffenbaum]

It seems that every time troops ingame are wounded and their morale broken, they rout at full speed. Now I was thinking, wouldn't it be possible to make it so that inflicting anything between a medium to a major wound (or a fatal wound) could cause the enemy to stumble and fall over and stay on the ground, but still remain alive? They could groan and writhe in pain. But unless they were attempting to crawl/limp away, they'd stay among the dead where they'd be incapacitated. (Maybe you'd even be able to finish them off once they're down, if you're entirely honorless?)

It would really make the battlefield come alive (pun intended). As I see it, it would need new animation, scripting and gurgling/groaning from the wounded. It sounds like handful, but if any mod could get away with something like this, it would be Brytenwalda. Keep in mind though, it's more of an idea than an actual suggestion. I just felt like I'd like to hear how everyone else would feel about this.

I DO think that it would be very much in tune with the gritty, war-torn reality of the mods setting, however. Seeing the wounded and dying remains of an enemy army suffering while desperately trying to crawl away would probably delight even the coldest of warlord hearts

A nice idea, in my opinion. Not sure if it's possible/practical to implement, but if it is, then I'd rather like to see this done.

Id love that, perhaps if you took the time to "help" them (aka finish them) you could even earn xp?

Killing a wounded or dying person isn't exactly honorable, but it would/should probably reward the same amount of XP as any individual kill you currently get on the battlefield

It isnt impossible (i think) but it need work and especialy a animator, somebody that wish do it. Brytenwalda actually havent animator.
Idea will be add new dead animations where wound late most in die and you can see him crawl on the floor.

 

[Waffenbaum]

Awesome Idibil. I really REALLY wish I knew how to animate, right now

I'd rather have someone end my suffering than to writhe in pain till I die.

Also it's more fun killing those that can't defend themselves.

Not every disabling wound is fatal.

I support this addition. It'd also be nice to be able to drop weapons to aid in fleeing faster...

I love this idea! As I always seem to end up completely honourless, I wouldn't mind chopping up some wounded survivors. Especially with those downward chops with the 2-handed axes

Although it still would be kind of a big deal to implement. Scripts, animations and sounds... a lot of factors which has to be somewhat compatible with the vanilla Warband equivilances. Although I whole-heartedly support it.

Actually concidering the medical tech of the era, the less honorable thing to do is to let them die a horrible lingering death while they try to hold thier evcerated intestines inside their stomach cavity.
