Kirby? He'll be a fry cook on Dreamland.
I always try to get people on my team to form into a roving band of stabbery but far too many people take this game seriously and it's a rare occasion I get more than 1 or 2 people running around shanking people with me. One day I will have an entire team of people either shanking or pretending to be turtles as a knight bent over with a tower shield on his back.

I think the devs of this game have as much fun with it as the players do.

This is going to be stupid as hell and awesome because of it.

The Zulu and other African warriors have been a pretty common fixture in any Deadliest Warrior game, so it's almost a given they'd be in as well. I'm hoping for a Middle Eastern faction myself.

We're already in for a wonderful ride with the glorious hanzo steel :japan: Or as one pubbie said before in some argument about giant hammers hurting platemail being unrealistic and katanas totally being able to slice a knight in half, "It's not Ninja, it's Shonobi(sic)"

EDIT: vvv Yup. Pubbies were saying both those things (even as other pubbies told them it was dumb and wrong, sprinkled with racist and homophobic slurs for good measure).

There's 4 more dudes shaded out in their voting poll, so we might be looking at "and more" being another 4 factions on top of samurai and Spartans.

So is this just a DLC or a whole new game? I'm hoping for the former.


EDIT: Also I bet one of those 4 will be Vikings. How they'll make them special compared to anything already in there is beyond me.

I'm no expert on armour but wouldn't being hit by a giant hammer while wearing platemail wreck you since the blunt force would dent the armour?

It looks like they've teamed up with the team behind the Bushido total conversion that was recently announced to be a standalone game, but I'm not sure.

Big blunt weapons were pretty much invented for plate.

I think remember hearing on some discovery/history channel special (when they represented their namesake) that getting his with the hammers in the right place would fracture your bones underneath your skin. The idea being the shock was absorbed in the bones instead of the armor. loving Brutal.

Giant warhammers are hugely impractical though. A typical warhammer was around the size of the starter one in Chivalry, which was enough to put a serious dent into anything. Still, the best way to beat plate armor was to put a thin pointy thing into a gap somewhere. (Like the helmet, for example)

Or hook something into a kink and pull them over so they're on the ground and you can stab the poo poo out of them. (which is why billhooks existed)

Slashing swords were really only good at killing filthy peasants, which suited the knights fine because you weren't supposed to kill other nobles, just capture and ransom them. Meanwhile, the extremely common and simple weapons that you'd throw at a peasant like spears, bill hooks, clubs, daggers and axes were very good at disabling a knight's horse or getting through his armour.

The next four will probably be Zulu, Pirate, IRA and Waffen SS.

I have no idea what you're talking about. The community is a reasonable, intelligent and well-articulated group.

On another note I'm hugely excited and I'm also hoping that the workshop stuff comes soon (or with the DLC?).

edit: when the trailer says Multi-team do you guys think it means more than two? Because having three or four factions fighting would be unreal and make all the pubbies who are totally confused about customization even worse. It's be the perfect storm.

I just meant total war in the sense of chronologically unlinked warfare, Katanas and Spartans Spears? If they do multi-team I mean, which I interpret to mean Samurais vs Knights and so forth.
