Medieval mods please!

[antic]

Don't know about anyone else, but physics, rag-dolls and AI would make for great hand-to-hand combat options with swords, clubs, and anything else you can pick up and throw around.

Would love to even see some kind of simple medieval arena combat mod, using Source. Imagine how jousts would look with rag-doll models flying from horses. Or the sparks and rings from the clash of swords.

If anyone hasn't played "Die by the Sword", go get it - it's years old, but damn fun to play, with a great control of sword combat I've never seen in any other game since. Surely this would be a genre that a system like Source would excel in? Is anyone thinking about doing a Medieval style mod?

it would be cool. each melee weapon could have its own weight and materials, affected by physics. throwing axes and throwing other things would work well too.

maybe there could be flails that had real rope physics on the chain, that you could swing around and build momentum with die by the sword type control, and those slings too that you swing around. yea i hope a mod team decides to do a project like this

edit: and apparently they have.

Great Idea Some people can really get into the Roleplaying with a medieval mod... It will probably be the most realistic Medieval Game around

haha i remember the LoTR maps in Sven Coop. they were pretty fun.

A catapult should be relatively easy to build. Anybody up for a ride? Throwing dead bodies on the enemy... muahaha

I'd like a good swordfighting simulation where the enemy dynamically swung to deflect your own blows, over which you would have perfect control (height, angle, speed, reach, etc...).

This ever popped up in any other games?

Die by the sword had pretty nifty controls, you basically controlled where your sword would go with the mouse... so the faster you moved the mouse the more powerful the blow...

I'd like to see something like this in a mod, would be great, but it wasn't as responsive as it should have been really... sometimes you'd end up with your character madly swinging the sword all over the place, or maybe i just wasn't very good...

With source's physics it would be a very cool thing to see in a mod though. Especially if it had removeable limbs... decapitation would be class

Especially if it had removeable limbs... decapitation would be class

I'll sign on that! :cheers: There was a discussion a while back in which I said that having a "breakable" body would add much to the game... some poeple didn't agree... strangely enough

loomis has his finger on the pulse - die by the sword was a quality idea and I cant believe the lack of good fighting games on the pc...

[Orgonomist]

There aren't nearly enough games that let you brain people with a mace. Hopefully these mods pan out.
