Faction Idea: Vikings


1|2|3|4|5|6

AuthorFaction Idea: Vikings
I love Norse mythology, and this game needs more of it! Here is some stuff that the faction would/should have...

Racial Ability: (berserk ability) Depending on the lords' racial ability, the stack attacking that has this ability has a chance of "going berserk" and dealing the damage it was about to x2.

Magic Schools: Like Barbarians, Vikings have no magic schools. Despite this, the Valkyries get the spells Magic Arrow, Resurrect, Escort, and Delay.

Tier 1: Ravens
I chose ravens for the first tier because Odin supposedly had two ravens who served as spies/scouts or something. (Huginn and Huninn)
Atk: 1
Def: 2
Damage: 1-2
HP: 6
Spd: 5
Int: 10
Abl: Flyer, Teleporter.

Tier 2: Axemen
When you hear Viking, you think axe-person or berserker right? What's a viking without his axe?
Atk: 4
Def: 4
Damage: 4-5
HP: 15
Spd: 5
Int: 8
Abl: Bravery, Berserk, Rage.

Tier 3: Fenris
Fenris (could also be spelled Fenrir) is a legendary, giant wolf from Norse mythology. It is prophesied to kill Odin during Ragnarok. I've seen versions of it being black or white, doesn't matter...
Atk: 4
Def: 3
Damage: 3-6
HP: 17
Spd: 6
Int: 11
Abl: Bloodthirsty, Large Creature.

Tier 4: War-Boars
War (or battle) boars also appear in Norse mythology. They are large enough to mount. They had armor and many vicious tusks.
Atk: 9
Def: 8
Damage: 8-11
HP: 25
Spd: 6
Int: 9
Abl: Berserk, Lizard Charge.

Tier 5: Valkyries
They are basically Norse angels, they are warriors but also serve as the guardians who take fallen warriors to Valhalla. I thought they should be good at melee and magic both...
Atk: 10
Def: 10
Damage: 12-13
HP: 42
Spd: 6
Int: 10
Mana: 10
Abl: Caster, Flyer, No Melee Penalty.

Tier 6: Jotnar
(singular: Jotunn) Commonly called Frost Giants, these powerful beasts stood on all fours, and resembled giant, furry frogs (blue fur). But, they had huge fangs and glowing eyes. Their breath could freeze foes solid...
Atk: 25
Def: 21
Damage: 20-27
HP: 75
Spd: 4
Int: 8
Shots: 8
Abl: Large Creature, Spray, Shooter, Stun.

Tier 7: Nidhoggs
In the mythology, there was only one, and it fed on the roots of the world tree: Yggdrasil. It was greatly feared and i think served a purpose in Ragnarok.
Atk: 30
Def: 26
Damage: 40-60
HP: 157
Spd: 7
Int: 12
Abl: Large Creature, Flyer, Berserk, Draconic Breath, Fear Attack.
Good Idea
Abl: Flyer, Teleporter.
raven do not need both of these abilities, since they are basically the same, except flyer can be affected by some talents/artifacts
for Straws:
there's no NEED for the abilities, but i thought i should put teleporter in there cuz theyre magical scouts
Dwarves are Vikings in the World of Fantasy. Enough
Tier 6: Jotnar
(singular: Jotunn) Commonly called Frost Giants, these powerful beasts stood on all fours, and resembled giant, furry frogs (blue fur). But, they had huge fangs and glowing eyes. Their breath could freeze foes solid...


Most of the time these were described as giants as we know them to be. There were also Fire Giants.

On another note..no trolls in this game? Crazy!
Tier 1 Upgrade: Doom Ravens
Huge ravens, like from stories.
Atk: 3
Def: 4
Damage: 3-3
HP: 8
Spd: 5
Int: 10
Abl: Flyer, Teleporter.

Tier 2 Upgrade: Einherjar
The warriors brought to Valhalla by the Valkyries are called Einherjar. They are the most honorable and skilled warriors, the reasons for their being brought back. They serve an ultimate purpose in the war of Ragnarok.
Atk: 5
Def: 4
Damage: 4-5
HP: 18
Spd: 6
Int: 8
Abl: Bravery, Berserk, Rage, Undead.

Tier 3 Upgrade: Werewolves
Couldn't think of any other wolf monster that would be better than Fenris...
Atk: 5
Def: 4
Damage: 4-7
HP: 20
Spd: 7
Int: 11
Abl: Bloodthirsty, Large Creature, Double-Strike. (If that doesn't make it overpowered...)

Tier 4 Upgrade: Blood-Boars
War-Boars with serated tusks and red armor.
Atk: 10
Def: 10
Damage: 8-12
HP: 28

Tier 5 Upgrade: Fallen Angels
Either this name or Elite Valkyries, just wanted to change it up.
Atk: 12
Def: 10
Damage: 12-15
HP: 45

Int: 10
Abl: Caster, Flyer, No Melee Penalty, Return-Fire.

for Cooshamba:
Dwarves are NOT vikings enough. Norse mythology is extremely cool and fun and every aspect of it deserves to be included in such a game. Also, trolls were part of Norse mythology, but i trust they will appear in Dwarf or Steppe Barbarian factions...
Viking Story:

Vikings are very powerful warriors who are famous for many things. One being their past-time of pillaging, another being their tenancy to go berserk in battle. Their religion is based on the love for fighting and hunting, so they train themselves harshly to harden themselves nicely, for a battle may ensue at any moment. They also live under the extreme conditions of living in Iceland, Scandinavia, and Greenland/Denmark. Although they may seem brutal and barbaric, they do have morals, and the most noble and honorable warriors get the privilege of coming back to life in Valhalla.
i honestly like it i really do but 1 thing you could improve on would be putting in 2 shooters =. And when i said 1 thing i meant many( in my perspective of course ) the other thing you might wanna work on would be able to recruit were wolves with normal money at level 10 isn't really fair for the other factions
ya it is i based all my data on other factions to make sure it was all fair
for Marquise:
i checked and all factions get that upgrade then and it isnt JUST with normal gold
I like it, but it seems like it would be pretty over powered to me.
yes i was afraid of that but i DID base all of their stats on other (seemingly similar) creatures to try and make it as fair as possible

if you want, i can show you the stuff i based each creatures' stats on
Raven = Imps
Axemen = Forest Keepers
Fenris = Wolfhounds
War-Boars = Lizard Cavalry
Valkyries = Genies
Jotnar = Cavalry
Nidhoggs = Devils
There are so many cool monsters that can be added to the game. Trolls, satyrs,
centaurs, medusa and so on.
I am on the Russian server and they have bears that can do a knockback to large creatures :P
yes i was afraid of that but i DID base all of their stats on other (seemingly similar) creatures to try and make it as fair as possible

More than anything else, I was referring to the damage range of the axemen. 4-5 for a 2nd tier creature is pretty insane. And considering the recruitment possible (starting out with 15, so probably 50+ max by around level 8), anything other than shrews/ cerb's would probably have a real hard time bringing them down.
for Krowe:
yes i know, they are a bit overpowered, but ravens cant fight worth crap so i thought that evened it out a little.

(P.S. Demons get 16 imps and 15 Demons so i thought maybe that it would be okay to have 10 Ravens and 15 Axemen)

Fenris:

(In this picture, Fenris is starved that's why he's so skinny, so the God, Tyr, sacrifices his hand to it.)

Werewolves:

(It's stomach area should be thicker though)

War-Boars:

all beautifully, cool idea but....nothing happens. There is no person who has done that to. There is no longer administrators, who are doing something with the game. Only moderators left.
