Peasants are Overpowered

[saxondragon]

They're overpowered in other games, too. In old king's bounty 5k peasants could easily kill a dragon.

I don't know what happened to Qualis (didn't read the entire story), but Pendor definitely has more than 5000 of peasants.

Hmm.. so THAT is where the Dried Meat comes from!  I always wondered! 

 

[Stalwart_Defender]

Too bad we can't make a peasant railgun in PoP.

I say in the next version we add swords instead of sticks to the training missions and the tax collection quests. That will teach this filth!

 

[habeo123]

Sticks and stones in this game can never break your bone. Yes they are OP.

Two Words:

Peasant Kingdom.

Give the green hoard something to fear.

Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes.

But who would be the nobility or king/queen. As it is a "peasant" faction?

 

[Aleatorio]

Alaric von Brouahaha of course! But the tittle of king will not be decided by birth anymore. Whenever someone challenge the king for his tittle they will drink until one die of extreme drunkness leaving the winner with the crown and possibly an epic headache.

 

[_Cooper_]

Ok now to decide the kingdom name.....

 

[_Cooper_]

Why dont we call the "king" the village elder? Village elder Alaric Von Brouahaha sound nice.

 

[Nikomakkos]

No, the peasant kingdom wouldn't be a kingdom but a people's republic and the leader would be called secretary.

 

[_Cooper_]

You know what else was a peoples republic. China. And secretary doesnt sound cool, i mean Secretary Alaric Von Brouahaha. I mean maybe if it was a hot secretary, i could say i have a hot secretary to all my friends....
Which i have none of....
Except my companions.....
Leth, Ansen, Julia, and all of the Sirs except that noob Alistar.

 

[Aleatorio]

Nah, it's probably better for then to plegde allineance to the noldor in exchange of protection and guideance. They are 2 of the more OP peoples around so they should get along just fine. If they were to breed they would create a Uber-race, the noldor pesant, it would be so overpowered that everyting in Pendor would die at day 1 even before you have the chance to kill the first bandit.

Thinking of it, noldor already hire rescued prisoners so... yeah, Pendor is lost.

 

[_Cooper_]

You mean pendor is saved?

 

[Aleatorio]

Well, most people would consider that if a period of stability, peace and properity was to come. Not total doom.

But seeing how the alternative is waiting for some random person to become ruler, conquer all of Pendor and defeat all of the many invading armies to come... well, maybe you are right and is better to get rid of it a bit sooner. I don't think even the snake goddes will want to mess with a noldor pesant.

 

[_Cooper_]

Who would? A Noldor Peasant with the archery skills of a Noldor Ranger and the Melee skills with a pitchfork or club as a farmer or refugee.

 

[khornebread]

Peasant Knighthood Order?  Now what does that look like?  What is the best "peasant" gear you could equip?

 

[noosers]

PheasEnt.

Of course, a strawhat. Sickle and Staff. A Dress. Stones. And a Hunting Bow and three quivers of arrows.

 

[Nikomakkos]

They should get awesome kung fu weapons that they modified from farming equipment.

Dont forget the ancient and all powerful, masterly crafted Pitchfork!!

 

[redadrian]

Dont forget the ancient and all powerful, masterly crafted Pitchfork!!

And the Scythe, another nasty farming tool. Those things are really sharp, it would be the stuff of nightmare for anyone up against a mob of makeshift halberdiers. I believe even Demonic Magni would have trouble against such a force. 
Lucky for us those peasants don't know which end of it to use (I know it's a Warband original, but they're swinging with the wrong side of the blade, the one which isn't sharpened).
