Crazy Combinations

[Arathiel]

If all goes well, when the mod tools come out, we should hopefully see an insane influx of new content from the community. Think Samurai Armor, roman/greek equipment, native american head dresses, whatever, the possibilities are limitless. So, on to my question.

Given unlimited content, unconstrained by time and space, what equiptment setup would you like to see in action?

I'll start... the spartinja. That's right, a cross between a spartan and a ninja. This guy's got his spartan armor over his ninja bodysuit, and carries both a spear and a midsize katana, for infighting. Not to mention throwing stars and caltrops.

Unequaled in single or large scale combat (spartinjas in a phalanx formation pwned all) the spartinjas nearly took over the entire know world, held back solely by the fact that, you know, they don't really exist.

women with brooms

... you typical fantasy witches ...

who have discovered magic does not work in M&B but relish in the fact that they can have some serious whoopage crashing skulls with their

... not so magic ...

but heavy brooms (naturally they cheat and have leaden liners and mithril chainmail underneath their rags

Charging a 250 strong cavemen with 10 knights on my side and I'd be armed with an M16

 

[Wanderer]

Repeater crossbow.

Ballista (Think about how all those enemy riders line up SOOO nicely).

...

Flamethrower. I'd love to see some psycho on fire riding a flaming warhorse around, or a way to burn the knight charge as they all run past me, and just strafe the hell out of them.

Mechanical Horses. They go about as fast as a saddlehorse (ie, almost, but not impossible, to lance with)... but don't die, just ding. They'd also have the maneuverability of a cruise ship. (DAMNIT, Tinker, TURN... Goddamnit, we left the battle half an hour ago, TURN THE HELL AROUND already!)

Bottles of Greek Oil (throwing weapon).

And last, but not least.

A boomstick.

AT-AT

 

[Zuwxiv]

A shotgun for giggles. Imagine, plowing the field...

But other than that, Greek and roman would be nice. Imagine a gladius, pila, scutarii (isn't that shield?), the armor (loreta segmenta or something)...

That would be awesome.

Or phalanx warfare.

Combat polo. Either with a ball or little hobbits. Instead of doing damage to them, they get launched in the air. You try to get them through a goal or hoop.

Hitting other riders does damage though.

I vote for polo with hobbits at my best laugh this day
