Just came back from playing, event was awesome.
Some showed up.. Even Cora. But a few weren't listening that they had to be on TS3 or Ventrilo in order to play.
We had a 20 vs 20 I think. Not enough GKs showed up for it.
But it was a blast. We played Random Grasslands, Dartford Moor, Hudwaite, Viking Homeport (Night), and Viking Fort.
We played a Best of Three Rounds the first time on Battle maps and 1 Round 1 win if we replayed. Raids were played for 10 minutes. Sieges were if you captured the flag, you win the game; and it played for about 10 minutes in total.
The Vikings lost. We won our first Siege, and lost to the second time.
There were quite a bit of trees and vegetation in the way twice on Random Grasslands. There were enough vegetation to be considered a forest on those.
Dartford Moor was fun, we kept fighting on the road and it proved a little challenging to keep close to one another . Those side-of-the-road hills made it tough.
Hudwaite was fun since we were able to see everyone in the vicinity and we had a close knit fight between the two shield walls. Both sides thought to take the hills first round, but later spotted the river we had to cross..
Viking Homeport (Night) is a classic. We had a struggle as the defenders when we quickly lost the first 3 houses, but we grouped together at the last house and kept it safe till near the end of the round. The final house burnt down in the last 3 minutes; but the brave, invaded, and shaken Viking Townsfolk made a last stand to protect the loot from the evil, ravaging, bloodthirsty, Christian Engles.
Viking Fort was really cool. It had balance, but sometimes it was hard to reach and defend the walls from the attackers. Viking Fort is a beautiful map, but the spikes didn't seem too appropriate because you can sometimes get yourself stuck/glitched upon them.
Fun event. We were hoping more pubs would show up. I think one of the GKs present there recorded the event. I'll make a post for it if it ever reaches Youtube.
