[Suggestion] Protect the king mod

[Galeran]

Iv just been in a party where a man was afk. I try to protect him and actually it was quite fun. si it give me the idea of a new type of multiplayer game. Two teams, one "king" (random selection) by team. Each team must kill the king of the other team. the respawn is fast (and if the king A. die the game is lost for team A.). The king - who change each round - should have a lot of money to have a good equipement.

It is a good idea ?

Reminds me of the VIP mode from CS....which I liked despite it seeming to fall out of favor to endless waves of bomb or hostage maps.  I support this idea...but only if the king gets a crown, hehe.

Yup, it's good and simple. Giving the king 10 ironflesh and 15k of gold could be good, so he can feel protected.

Still hopin for "For King and Country" mode...

Plate Armour ?

Good idea btw . I think the king should get a specific King class, capable of choosing extremely powerful and expensive equipment, like plate armour, a lot of swords, axes, ... Perhaps the King could be faction-dependant. A Swadian King would be good as heavy cavalry, Nords get a heavily armoured infantry King, ... Basically the kings would be an upgrade of the faction's main class, but with some skills so other roles can be filled in adequately though.

Kings should stay away from bows though imo (perhaps with exception of the Khan). If they want to fight, they will need to take risks.

It would encourage interesting tactics I think. Do you leave your king out of the fighting, or does he participate, so with some luck he can smash down 4 enemy soldiers with his powerful equipment and skills? Do you all stick together to defend your king, or will you try to attack the enemy king from different directions?

I approve this idea.
Regicide games are always fun.

 

[CryptoCactus]

Hell yeah! This idea actually seems like it'd be two, maybe three metric tons of fun.

Kinda like real-time chess, where the king (most important piece) is also the queen (most powerful piece).

But defending a normal player is the fun part Perhaps a bit of extra gold, but 15k is enough for him to buy all the equipment twice over :O

Also ... yes ... crown ...

1. yeah this kind of tactics are exactly what i have in mind because the king must be very powerfull (full armored and full armored horse) but you can afford to loose it ..

Actualy i think this will encourage people to do some formation like line of cavalerie or shieldwall to protect the king / use his armements avantages whitout the risk to lose him
2. i thnik money is enough to make a reel diference betwenn normal player and the king. Otherwise it will request too much code to make special new equipement for the king. but yeah why not special class "king" for each faction, it will definitvly make the "King'Hunt" deeper.

3. I think in order to recognize the king its icone / blason must be particuliar / bigger / unique...

A crown would help that, I think if you make the king too powerful though it won't be "protect the king" but rather "crazy-king-rampage-killing-spree1!!", if the king was a normal player it would make it much more tactical, you would actually have to protect him rather than him charging out killing everything.

 

[Galeran]

Even a full amored king cant resiste to a couched lance ^^ or 6 or sevens archers but you maybe right i think maybe they can make two mod : protect the king and protect the dauphin whit an unarmored guys.

 

[Latinikon]

Whoa!, this would be a truck-load of fun!

I vote Yes!

 

[HULKSMASH]

Been suggested before,
but still worthy of praise!
