New Cart - Chariot

Recommended Posts

I want to suggest a new cart type, the Chariot.

 

New Items:  Large Wheel, Large Wheel Axle, Chariot Banner (optional), [metal type] Chariot

 

Large Wheel:  2 planks, 2 shafts, 2 ribbons, 10 rivets

Large Wheel Axle:  2 Large Wheels,  1 beam (shaft is too small?)

 

Creation:

Activate Metal Sheet

right click Large Wheel Axle

 

Total Materials:

4 metal ribbons

4 metal sheets (final sheet determines metal type)

40 rivets

1 Large Wheel Axle

1 yoke

 

Details:

  • The primary purpose of the cart is for fast transport and of course, chariot racing!
  • Holds up to two players.
  • (PVP) second player can shoot arrows from the cart?
  • No storage area, except a storage for a banner.  Load the banner into storage and it gets mounted.
  • Mounted banner would hang from the back of the chariot opening.  It would look like a kingdom banner - minus the pole, and hang slightly above the side of the chariot but below the shoulders of the player to not prevent visibility.
  • Can be dyed.
  • Banner can be swapped out (to create team races where every team sports a different banner).
  • Base speed is 10% faster than large cart.
  • Can be drawn by 2 horses, 2 unicorns, or 2 hell horses (disable driver aggro?)
  • Uses Blacksmithing skill
  • 60 Blacksmithing skill required
  • Uses special metal properties.  Add a new column for Chariot properties and create new properties based on metal type (i.e. Glimmersteel chariot +10% speed, Addy chariot -10% decay, etc.)

 

Discuss.  Suggest.

+1 for the suggestion.... but the chariot should still have a little bit of storage as opposed to NONE at all.  Like, maybe enough for a small barrel or two.  No room for crates or rafts.... well, maybe one raft... but that's it.

+1 love the chariot idea ive seen it before too, anyway a few ideas i had are, storage enough for a small barrel and a large chest, it would be the fastest land vehicle by far with a minimum speed of 15km/h with no imps or horse equipment, wild horses, uphill.

+1, if it could be drawn by two bears...

needs enough room for a small barrel, for those drink emergencies which require speedy delivery.

And maybe room for a few pizzas.

I look forward to the Inde 500  :)

Um... or maybe the Inde 5...

"Chariots had lost their military importance by the 1st century AD" - Quoted from Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariot

 

However then it got interesting later on - 

 

"It was especially useful during the Hussite Wars, ca. 1420, by Hussite forces rebelling in Bohemia. Groups of them could form defensive works, but they also were used as hardpoints for Hussite formations or as firepower in pincer movements. This early use of gunpowder and innovative tactics helped a largely peasant infantry stave off attacks by the Holy Roman Empire's larger forces of mounted knights"
