Not really to be honest, but I probably don't get around this forum as much as you

Here's what I remember of the earliest of the Stewarts
He was born long ago of a water nymph mother and a great eagle father, both among the last of their kind, among the tall staunch rock of the fjords as they were back then. His father taught him wisdom and nobility and his mother taught him music and curiosity. He took immediate love of both exploration and craftsmanship and began to travel the world learning all he could wherever he went. His best skill was blacksmithing, learned from his visits to the far west. Legend goes as far as to say he forged a great brooch to decorate the tallest mountain, and impressed by the sound of his hammer, invented drumming in the process. When wartime arose, his regal demeanor and wisdom drew great armies to his side. He never failed to elicit success, even in the face of defeat, making him the most trusted leader among allies, and the most respected among the enemy.
One day whilst one of his soldiers was playing on a fiddle, another fiddler began to start. To prevent a dispute, Stewart stepped in and proposed a revolutionary idea, that they play together. One by one, more musicians began to join and soon every instrumentalist in his army was playing together and thus the orchestra was invented. That same orchestra played his funeral march after he was eventually killed in battle. His offspring are many and varied, marked by commanding character and an affinity for fine skill.

Q&A / Tips and opinions on galleon loadouts
« on: August 13, 2015, 01:47:00 pm »
I've been flying a galleon for a bit now (it's my favorite ship) but I'm still rather unsure of myself as far as setup and action. I was wondering if anyone could give opinions on different galleon loadouts and tips on the piloting requirements each would entail.
Some questions I have are:
Are minotuars any good, such as with a minotuar+hwacha on both sides in a close range map?
would 2x H. flak on either side be of use? (maybe instead of H. flak+LJ)
And I've heard that 4x hwacha isn't a great galleon loadout, but it has so far been my most successful in game, and therefore most often used, especially if I have novice gunners. What are the major problems/weaknesses of a 4 hwacha setup?
Opinions on putting the long range guns on starboard and the short range guns on the stronger port side?
Hades versus Merc on the port light slot? (assuming long range build)
So far I have run pretty much only the quad hwacha setup in game. One time I used LJ+H. flak+hades on port with h. carro+hwacha on starboard with high level allies and won that game (4v4), but I am afraid to run that setup with less experienced gunners as I've heard those guns can be difficult. (I have a hard time with them when I play gunner) I have not been successful with a h. carro+hwacha on both sides setup. I always run light carro or flamethrower on the back, and I usually use a gat on the port light slot.

I'll just point out that a rapier can stab right through a body with little or no resistance at all.
Yes Koali, I know how rapiers work.
Carn would win most likely because he's a big strong Anglean marauder, you on the other hand, since you're invulnerable it seems, I would just play defense until I get a position where I can pin your arm to the rest of your body, or we get hungry and decide to quit and go eat.
Moral: never TELL people you're invulnerable, it spoils the effect.

« on: August 12, 2015, 06:50:29 pm »Does he fight rapier vs other swords or only rapier vs rapier?
can fight with rapier against most other kind of blade, be it saber, longsword, or even katana. (can handle most other blades well too)
axes would be very hard to go against with a rapier since rapiers are light and could get beaten up by more forceful weapons, (it's a duel weapon, not a battle weapon), but it could be done with superior reach and some tricky play, particularly by targeting extremities such as poorly protected hands and arms, and legs

Name: Alan Breck Stewart, real name something else and not important
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Occupation: Full time captain in the Baronies air navy, musician, and jack of all trades
Faction: Fjord Baronies, but will fight for anyone with a noble cause
Bio: Born a commoner of the Baronies and enlisted as a crew for a baron's warship. After impressing his commander with his skill behind a gun and versatility as an engineer, he was granted admission to the Baronies Royal Military Academy and quickly proved successful in his efforts to measure up to his noble born crewmates. By request upon graduation, he was granted command of a Yeshan Galleon that he had a hand in capturing. He works currently to move up the ranks and aspires to one day make the Iron Hurricane, his galleon, feared on the worlds battlefields.
Personality: Quiet and withdrawn, doesn't make friends easily, but is loyal to death to any he has. Although taciturn and rather laid back in peacetime activities, fights with fire and is aggressive and bold in combat, and loves daring moves, but knows nonetheless the importance of obedience to senior officers and reserve for the right opportunity. Possesses a natural affinity to leadership and is able to rally nearly any crew of mismatched misfits to teamwork and success. Will never back down from a noble fight, and will never surrender.
Secrets: Has never been bested at the sword. (fights with a rapier)
