    Default Medieval Kingdoms: Tug of War

    While we're all waiting for the campaign...

    Tug of War     is a fun game mode originally made by Pixelated Apollo and Jackie Fish, in that both sides play a series of battles that simulate Campaign mode, Custom battles and a bit of RPG. Both sides fight over money, who ever wins gets all of it and the loosing side gets half, which you can be spent on troops for the next battle. Both sides start with a couple of the cheapest troops and then you upgrade your units as we go along. I played a couple of awesome battles with The_Culverin and it was honestly one of the most Pyrrhic victory battles I've ever fought because the dynamic was completely new. Here are their rules which they used for Third Age:

    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

    Great. Add me on Steam, Wille.

    I was just pointed out how unoriginal it was. Apparently 16 000 other people share the same name. Ergo, try Hirdman instead.
