Neue Mod: The Sagas

The Sagas ist eine ganz frische Mod für BFV welche sich rund um das Thema Wikinger dreht.

Weapons:

The Sagas will include a wide variety of weapons. Please look at the list below:

* Short Blades - Long Knives and Short Swords, common weapons among Viking Age Warriors.
* Shields - 3 Types hopefully to be included into the game; Kite, Heater, and Round shields. Shields were a must for any warrior, as it is your main means of defense.
* Torch - Burn that hovel to the ground! With this you will be able to easily destroy buildings and vehicles.
* Spears - The standard weapon of any Viking. Being made of mostly wood, it is a cheap and effective weapon.
* Axe - A basic hand axe was a powerful weapon on the field. These weapons brought heavy chopping power to a single point.
* Broadsword - A highly prized and very expensive weapon of the Vikings.  These were wielded by only the most wealthy warriors and were highly effective in combat.
* Bow - A simple bow,  most effective when used in groups. A warning though: Arrows can easily be blocked by shields.
* Javelin - A short throwing spear.  Highly effective and good for use just before rushing into combat.
* Throwing axe - A good sized axe meant for throwing.  It doesn't go very far but it packs quite a punch.
* War Axe - A great bearded axe, around 5 feet long!  These were wielded by elite warriors who used them to become killing machines.
* Claymore - A Scottish weapon. This is a great two-handed sword with enough power to cut through a horse!

Vehicles:

What kind of vehicles would there be in a Viking mod? Lots!

* Longboat - The Viking way of travel.  This is a large ship capable of quickly moving across the seas. There's plenty of room onboard and also works as a spawn point.
* Ship - Your basic ship.  Not too fast, but it will get you there, granted a longboat doesn't come up over the horizon. Good room for transporting some infantry, but that's about it. Better stock this with bowmen if you plan on roaming the seas.
* Wagon - A wagon carrying supplies. This will heal and re-arm you.
* Horse - A light horse for scouting or light cavalry. A very fast method of land travel.
* War Horse - A heavily armored horse for fighting.  This is more like a tank in combat.
* Ram - A battering ram for when those town gates just won't open. Very effective against walls and buildings.
* Catapult - Rain death down on your opponent when they're hiding behind those walls. This rock launcher deals some heavy damage.
* Also: More kinds of horses and boats. Possibly new siege equipment.

Features:

Here is a list of some of the features that The Sagas will(hopefully) feature:

* Fast Moving Combat - Arm up and hop in a longboat. Sail to the enemy town, rush in and pillage, hop back in the boat for a quick getaway, then come back for more after re-arming.
* Charge - Rush at your enemy and deal a crippling blow.
* Armor - You can equip yourself with armor on certain areas. Practically impenetrable in combat. Be careful though there are weak points.
* Shields - Raise your shield to defend yourself from attacks and arrows.
* Combat Mode - Will prevent battles from becoming frantic spin around and swing messes.
* Destroyable buildings - If you can see it, you can break it.
* New Gametype: Raid - Gain tickets for your team by raiding the enemy villages.
* New Armies - The Sagas will feature many armies of the time, including The Scots, Franks, Saxons, Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians.
* Commander Mode - This has been done in some mods for BF1942. Imagine commanding an army of soldiers, similar to Medieval: Total War.  Commander would be able to give orders and possibly place siege equipment and buildings.(This feature will most likely be added much later in the game)
