In native and floris I typically play as a lancer (with a bow/arrow and side sword as backups). Those rare occasions are the exception though, not the rule.

then bop them all on the head from behind one by one until I've killed four or five dozen of them. I've managed to drop down off the walls and come back up behind entire groups of reinforcements as they ascend to the top of the wall to fight my troops. Wading into the thick of a melee is just asking for death generally, though the AI can be pretty retarded occasionally. The reason is that they tend to kill more or less instantly, and without allowing the enemy to counterattack. Ultimately it depends a lot on the module you're using, but bows and lances both tend to excel.

Here is one where there are only about 100 kills, but you will get the idea. In Gekokujo I get 300 kills as a horse archer in the open field. I'll post a screenshot next time I get over 200 kills. In The Last Days, I get 300 in city fighting on East/West Osilgath's streets. I like the tactical options in the open field. In Viking Conquest, it is usually in siege assaults, by sniping people off the walls. How can you live that long to get 300 kills in one battle? Is it siege defending? I alway died after got hit 2-4 hits. Still, I had over 540 proficiency in one-handed on both characters, so it is not as if I stayed out of melee.īut in Viking Conquest, you do need a shield, and not because of arrows. This said, in that mod, I have played both an archer and a javelin thrower, and never as a pure melee guy. Do I have to play as Archer main? I really like to fight in melee.You need either heavy armor or a good shield and skill to use it, in Viking Conquest.

I use it in mods where it is a magical ability, and I use it when I play Floris with my wife (she plays a lancer, while I play an archer, and we use different characters depending on who is called for.īut in most mods, it would be overpowered and unrealistic.īut without body-sliding I really don't know what to do. In Floris_Evolved I would keep fighting in melee until I died, I didn't last long in each life but I have fun with it.As I said, it is a powerful advantage. Javelins work too, and you can bring 3x14 in addition to your shield. Why don't YOU pick up a bow, and clear those walls? That's what I do. So I change my plan to use shield only and wait until my troops clearing an archer from the first wall before I start to brawl in frontline, then when trying to get to second wall I have to fight with ground units first which they have archer on the second wall supporting them, so I can't do anything but wait for my troops to do the fighting which they keep losing. I actually set up my companions, each with a reinforced painted shield, to draw archer fire, so that I can collect arrows at my leasure. With a berserker shield, you can stand in front of ten archers for minutes with no risk.

Even without a shield, they cannot punch through heavy armor for more than one or two points in a blue moon.

I collect them by running back and forth in front of their archers. In Viking Conquest, I get 300 kills during sieges, by using the defenders' arrows. Originally posted by XinGst:When attacking a city I can't fight at frontline or I would get shot from arrow while attacking.In Viking Conquest?! You're doing it wrong.
