The Knights Who Say "Ni!"

[Naja]

Modders: please tell me this hasn't crossed your mind. Imagine a super-unit (like the Yubtseb Oliphaunts) dressed exactly like the Knights Who Say Ni, who live in a far away Rebel settlement, like the Amazon Rebels in Hyperboria in RTW. They would have the special ability to taunt (like the barbarian warcry), except their "taunt" would be a chorus of "ni!" All units in close proximity to the Knights who hear the "ni!" will instantly rout, or at the very least lose a tremendous deal of morale.

Who's bloody with me?!

[Turkeys!]

That would be so funny if it was actually made

Brillant, bloody brillant!!

I'll code it if somebody provides models, skins and sounds

[Amroth]

Haha, awesome idea! Now how about a Grenade of Antioch unit? The atomic bomb of the middle ages! One shot, many kills... Or a killer rabbit unit!

[najak]

And the Beast of... Ahhhhhh

[alanschu]

And the Beast of... Ahhhhhh

Maybe he was dying when he wrote that!

If you want to make a fantasy mod or even a fantasy unit for such a project go for it, these are fairly valuable for any fantasy project teams. But I wouldn't like to see such units mixed with a serious medieval game or mod.

It's funny... some imagination you have... LOL... healthy for a neat fantasy project!

Make them as strong as as kensei

[plasticfigurine]

In addition, the sound of units routing should be "run awayyy!!!!" and the french should have their own taunts like "I fart in your general direction!"

I can only imagine the gloriousness of a mod like this...

[Naja]

Why not just go balls out and have an entire Holy Grail mod? Imagine - the Castle Anthrax, the epic siege of the French castle/s, the white bunny super unit... :laughing:

[Ivniciix]

...the anarcho-socialist peoples collective peasants...

...rebel units that looked like bobbies and tried to spoil the fun...

...the castle Antrax militia- 12 score and 6 virgin, blonde, maidens between the ages of 16 and 19...

would make a great mini-mod on a relatively small map!

[Hansa]

Forget about the knights as a unit, make them a Faction!!!

(and give the French specific battle speeches for fighting England, ''you English pigdog, I fart in your general direction'' etc, especially during defensive sieges).

[Ivniciix]

OK...Factions got me thinking. A straight ahead creation of "Holy Grail" characters wouldn't be much of a game. So just expand on the concept by having all the fun things be single city factions with only one available unit type, like this, in the best order I can remember of their appearance in the movie :

First - Arthur and his Knights - All the knights are individual characters (one guy-no bodyguard & on foot). Arthur can recruit "Patsies", the Terry Gilliam "horse" with the coconuts for hoof sounds. Patsies are melee characters who kill you by clomping their coconuts together. Additionally, Arthur can recruit a seige ram that looks like a large bunny and a priest with Holy Hand Grenades

Dismembered Black Knights-their only unit is made up of knights with various and/or all limbs hacked off and bleeding - a MTW:II project so they don't all look the same. Otherwise they'd all have to be completely limbless and bite you to death (melee characters)

Carrot-nosed witches-Ranged weapon which is the ducks they throw at you

Anarcho-socialist Peasant Collectivists- also ranged, they throw mud

Bring-out-your-dead cart pullers-melee with a club

Frenchies-also get two units halberdiers and a cow catapult

Knights who say Ni-Giant, two-headed knights obviously

Ladies of the Castle Anthrax-Young blonde maidens who attack in melee with golden chalices as weapons

Singing unmanly Grooms-ranged attack with cupid-style bows

Roger the shrubbers-melee, hits you with a small bush

Tim the Enchanter(s)- fiery, explosive ranged attack with very bad aim buy high rate of fire

Rabbits-melee biters

Black Beast of Aaauugh

...and

British Bobbies as random rebels

[Hansa]

Arthurian siege epquipment: Cannons? NO! Catapults? NO!, Giant Trojan Rabbit, YES!!

[Tokus*Maximus]

The Killer Rabbit! Def' build the KR unit! Use it to break a seige - an elite killer stormrabbit shock rabbits... Nurse! Nurse! The screens!

[Narakir]

Don't forget an elder inquisitor asking to you faction member "what... is your prrefered kheulor ?" it'll look more realist than the actual feature.

[alpaca]

Heh we should do a complete Monty Python mod, including Biggus Diccus as a General

[Dowly]

Hello.

First of all, thank you for the great forum. Been reading this for awhile, but registered just now as I saw this topic. I started making a "Monty Python´s MTW II" minimod that changes some of the speeches in the game. I have only three sounds ready, but more is coming.

The current speeches are:

-French pre-battle speech against english ( Preview: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...85154555&hl=en )
-Enemy general fleeing when playing as the english ( Preview: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...72466738&hl=en )
-Own general fleeing when playing as the english ( No preview, but it is the Oh so brave sir Robin song, the one they sing after Robin flees from the three headed knight.)

lmao! great stuff!
