Anglo-Zulu mod what gets on your tits?

[sally100]

After seeing similar threads for warband i thought i would create one for the mod..  what really pisses of you in game.

Mine is the sappers...  most of them build the most useless forts in the middle of nowhere that absolutly no other teamates are near or likely to fall back/seek cover in.

Why they build them i do not know but one thing is for sure, all that happens is a lot of build points are wasted, and the sapper is likely to get a zulu spear in his back whilst digging his `palace`, without having a chance to fire a single shot at the zulus, and having accomplished nothing to help his team.

i agree with the sappers, especially when they build defences just to make zulus bots get stuck.

When you actually build good defenses but the entire team doesn't use them and instead stands in front of them in the open, and then gets completely wiped out by Zulus. Or when they do use your defenses, but as soon as the Zulus get close they all retreat, pretty much meaning the defenses were useless. You're supposed to hold the walls, thats the point of walls, there's no point if you run away as soon as the enemy gets close, thats like leaving a city as soon as it's besieged.

Agreed, i have no problem with sappers building, as long as they arent` building random crap - i don't think it is an exaggeration to say that 70 -80 per cent of the sapper built fortifications during games aren`t even used lol

This one's more of a server problem - people who spam TNT and waste all the build points/lag up everyone's game. Highly frustrating.

I can't work out if it's better to make TnT cost a lot of Bp or hardly any.

Sapper foolishness, Zulu uber-headshot-from-across-the-map snipers, and Shooting Zulus and it only takes out 1/2 of there health. A mean look, those cowhide shields may look nice but they couldn't stop rifle OR pistol rounds. And I'm pretty sure these Zulus didn't use PEDs like the Filipinos in there rebellion vs. the USA...

PED's?

PED's?

Performance enhancing drugs, ya know steroids and the like. During the Philippine Insurrection it was recorded that before attacking U.S. troops some of the rebels would, well, get high. U.S. troops recorded Filipinos being shot several times but still attacking.  One of the reasons that the new service rifles and pistols (1903 Springfield and Colt 1911) were to be chambered in .30-06 and .45 compared to less powerful rounds.

The one thing about gameplay that gets me is the game is either super easy, ie mow down every zulu within a mile with no casualties

Or we are totally slaughtered by an overwhelming amount of zulus ie 70 bots against 8 players, and we loose within 30 seconds lol
