Pirates, Vikings and Knights

[-Mike-]

I <3 this mod, it's a FPS with three teams, who should be pretty obvious. Each team has two classes, which all give different gameplay. You need HL2 or any other source game to play it.

Pirates, Vikings & Knights II includes a wide variety of features making game play exciting, fun, and even interesting for all those strategists out there. Here are just a few things you can look forward to in your PVKII experience.

    * Strategic Combat- Combat is based on an attack, block and parry system. Typically, attacking is accomplished by holding down primary fire and releasing when the player wishes. This enables the player to make slow, more powerful timed attacks, or flurries of quick attacks. Most attacks can be made in 4 directions, from the left, right, overhead and thrusting positions. Attack speed is determined too, by what weapon the player is wielding. Typically, secondary fire is reserved for blocking. You can block with a shield, or weapon if timed right. Blocking is also done in four directions and a player may counterattack after a perfect parry. This style of system makes swordplay and combat much more interesting and strategic for players.

    * Special Abilities- There are special abilities unique to certain classes. Take for example the Berserker who can, at anytime when his special bar is full, go berserk by activating the special function key. These are listed in the Weapons section for reference.

    * Unique Weapons- We have tried to stretch the limits of imagination within reason to come up with weapon combinations historically viable & unique, but also that would enrich game play and the players experience. These are again listed in the Weapons section for reference.

    * Healers- The addition of Healers for each team makes game play further diverse, giving a dying player a chance to rejoin battle.

    * Lord Classes- The addition of Lord Classes with musical instruments is a combination of a Team Leader and Musician as they would have in historical armies. In this case, the Lords are the musicians, and when they play their instruments, each team receives bonuses for all of those that stand within a certain radius or earshot of that instrument while being played. For each team it behaves differently. This also helps promote team cohesion and to move about tightly in some cases. For a more detailed explanation of this see the Weapons section under Jarl, Captain, and Lord.

    * Diverse Game Modes- We have planned out a diverse array of game modes so the player doesn’t have to keep playing through the same scenario each time. Here are a few Examples:

      Team Deathmatch
      Booty
      Holy Grail
      Territory
      Pillage
      Siege
      Slay the Dragon
      Assassination
      Capture the Flag
      For more information check out our Game Modes Section.

    * Beautiful Maps- The maps will range from Realistic European countrysides, Scandanavian Villiages, Harbors and Ship Ports, Castles, Keeps, Catacombs, Winter Landscapes, & Forests, to some not necessarily realistic maps, but fun nonetheless.
      For a list, check out our Maps section.

Personally, I <3 the bowman.

I have it installed. Has some pretty nice models, but poor optimization of the maps. How to block attacks with melee weapons is really complicated and hard.

Yeah I end up dying a lot trying to parry other people's attacks :(

They're releasing a new class for the Vikings- Gestir ( I think it was from the original, too)
Sometime in december although the dev team are pretty slow.

I think I might just re-download this

I used to be so insanely pro at this, then they changed the parry system so whoever attacks first loses, it is boring stuff now. They used to have it where careful aim could go through a parry. I still am pro but waiting for people to parry or kiting them around just isn't fun.

It was really unbalanced last time I played. And the archer's bow went like loving 20 feet. And having a 3 way tdm is just really chaotic on some of the smaller maps. The pirate's fast guy is way too overpowered....which goes along with the general unbalancement. I'd rather play Age of Chivalry

It isn't unbalanced, you were just fighting pros when you are a nub, only thing boring is 2 pros fighting each other parrying nonstop and waiting for luck or errors to happen to finish the fight.

It isn't unbalanced, but there's a really steep learning curve.

I'm glad I'm finally over the learning curve, only took since February

Guys, i said it was when I played :P And if that swashbuckler fast guy is still 3x as fast as everyone else, then its still unbalanced. that guy has bombs too :|

I can rape pirates all day on even a knight, they really aren't anything to worry about, if you are a knight you can pull out shield and block all his pistol shots and just wait until he gets close, you can also shield bash his keg back at him which is hilarious. Huscarl can throw his axes and also block, viking can just run away until his special is up and super charge at him, he is also semi-fast. And archer just has to have better accuracy.

Bowman and Huscarl are fun :D
