Pirates and Viking and Knights oh my!

Post by Sandwich »

PVK II Beta 1 released at http://www.pvkii.com/

Essentially, you pick one of the 3 teams, Pirates, Vikings or Knights, and fight it out between your respective hideouts. There are several game modes including:

Booty:
There are chests scattered throughout the map, and each team has a base they must bring these chests to. The bases need to be enterable for the other teams (should have more than one way in - entrances may have to be made by breaking things).
Booty Tag:
One chest, the player who holds onto the chest scores points. Should be places to hide, and many different escape routes from the area the chest is in.
Territory:
One or more areas in the map that need to be held by a team to score points. These areas need to be strategically placed, and allow for more than one way of getting in.
Pillage:
There will be items in the map that need to be destroyed. These are protected by a team (Each team can have some to protect), and teams score points by destroying the opposing teams' item(s).
Siege:
One Team defends, One Team Attacks. There is usually a Goal or set of Goals associated with winning this map. Once the objectives are completed, the teams switch sides.
Slay the Dragon:
All three teams try to take down a giant A.I. controlled dragon. They won't work together, as they can kill each other at the same time.
Defend:
Each team will have their own base to defend. A.I. controlled units will be sent to each base in an attempt to destroy it. Last team standing wins.
Assassination:
They are out to kill your Lord! You must protect him at all costs by escorting him to a safe point in the map. Enemies try to assassinate the Lord.
Capture the Flag:
Capture the other Teams Banner and return it to your base. If your Banner is missing, you cannot score until your banner has been retrieved.

The teams each have different strengths:

Pirates: Great long range attack with the musket which can reload while moving, Giant explosive barrel that does loads of damage. Their melee is pretty weak.

Vikings: Great melee, Beserker attack, no ranged attack, can dual weld.

Knights: Great Armour, cant move while reloading crossbow, can use sheild.

I've played this earlier today and can confirm it's great fun, i much prefer playing as a knight to the others.
