Game mode idea (Protect the King Last Stand Siege)

[iniudan]

Here the idea, this mode could basically be the second stage of siege or something on it own. But would require new map for I admit I don't think of one that fully fit that duty.

This is basically a last stand mode, where you got to protect the king life at all cost. King side (defender) get less reinforcement but get major terrain advantage (choke point where attacker cannot go more then 1-2 at time) and more fund for equipment, while the king himself can get the finest equipment for free. Attacker get better reinforcement.

All this happen in the inside of the castle. And the aim for the attacker is to capture or kill the king (could be variable point for capture or kill), while the defender job is to kill all the enemy reinforcement or wait until the timer run out, at which moment the attacker reinforcement is no longer available (let's say it a defender ally reinforcement that arrived outside). Defender win condition is the one that can be variable, but if you go with a only timed win for defender then have to go with reduced respawn rate or smaller team.



What do you guy think of the idea ? That basically, how I see, to put in the very last part of a real life siege in game and one of the reason the inside of medieval castle were so tight, to defend with few against many.

It reminds me of this, http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,91956.0.html, and the current unofficial Protect the King mode, and I think it is a great idea. Perhaps make it a secondary objective to taking the flag.

Castle 3 would be a fine map for this, with for example the very defensible King's Bedchamber.


Edit : Perhaps move this to the Bugs and Suggestions forum ?

Fine to move it elsewhere for me if there is a more suiting spot in the forum. But I don't see ability to do this on my own, so will have to wait for moderator.


Yes close to what is said in that link you gave also Skandinav, but from reading it, the info I gave are a lot more detailed and I never saw what the inner keep battle of native looked like for only played after boxed release so might not be claustrophobic enough for the siege scenario I am describing, for I guess they are what we see when we enter the castle to see the lords.


Might look at the Protect the King mode later, might come to look like what I ask if they got some people good at designing new map. I admit don't have the capacity to do the idea I wrote, just hoping it inspire someone. =)
