Support Classes:
Support classes are extremely important in Nord Invasion. I reccomend getting a support class as soon as possible. Everyone dislikes someone who brings in literally no support item like a barricade to help the team.
The Engineers have access to: Small Ammo Crate (Restores ammo 1 use), Normal Barricade, Heavy Barricade, Short Heavy Barricade, Large Ammo Crate (Restores ammo 2 uses), Wall Barricade, Platform, Heavy Platform, Explosive Barrel.
The Medics have access to: Simple Medic Box, Medic Box, Surgeons Kit, Field Surgeons Kit, Master Surgeons Kit, Ressurection Tome.
Each are unique and help the team in every way. If you are a medic, do not just drop your medic kit, use it when you see someone get hurt, why bring in a medic kit if you are just going to drop it?
If you are a barricade bringer, learn to place the barricade correctly, you will mess it up a few times and people might get mad at you, but that is because they are indecent. If someone says "If you don't know how to build barricades, don't build them", reply back with "I brought it in, please allow me to practice how to build barricade propperly with my own barricade".
For more barricade placement training, simply join a deathmatch server and learn to place the barricade and build it propperly, afterward, simply go to spectator and respawn with a new barricade.
The website continued:
Your first page is your character page, this has already been discussed.
Crafting:
When entering crafting, you have 3 different options, Blacksmith, Armoursmith or Alchemist. Blacksmiths make weapons, Armoursmiths make armour, Alchemists make support items. To find fully fledged guides, look here:
Blacksmith: http://forum.nordinvasion.com/index.php?...786.0.html
Armoursmith: http://forum.nordinvasion.com/index.php?...740.0.html
Alchemist: http://forum.nordinvasion.com/index.php?...909.0.html
When you craft something, you gain experience, it works the same as levelling up your character, the higher the level, the more things you can craft.
Marketplace:
You have two sections of the Marketplace, the default Marketplace set up by Nord Invasion, or the Auction Hall. The Auction hall is where players put up their own items for sale in which other players in the mod can purchase at any time. It's fairly simple, the gold value is how much each item and you just put in how many you want to buy and hit buy.
The default marketplace is just for "Marketplace armour" which is the most basic of armours or weapons for that tier.
Quests:
Never really got into quests, but I know a few people do, however quests at the start of the game is very important as it is a great influx of experience and gold. You should completed quests as soon as possible. Simply click accept quests and try to kill the certain Nords that you are supposed to kill.
Houses:
Houses are a big part of Nord Invasion. If you are recognised on a server or you simply apply for a house on the Nord Invasion Forum, you are a part of a group of people who work together. Most houses usually do House Events which are generally done on the weekend. In order to trade between your characters or other members of the community without having the fee of the auction hall, you must both be in the same house.
Messages:
Disregard this, this section is only required if you wish to join a house, otherwise it is arguabbly useless.
Extras:
This is exclusive to Nord Invasion + Owners, basically it just offers you quick links to places you've already seen, such as the forum or the home page.
Account:
In this section, you can view all your characters, change the name of your characters, hide characters you never meant to create, respec your character, refer a friend or change your password.
Name Changing:
When changing the name of your character, make sure, I REPEAT, make sure you do it in the website first, if you do not, you will create a new character in the website which you will have to hide. After you have changed your name in the website, log in game and change your character name there as well. Also never do it in the middle of a game as it will reset your character to a new one.
Hiding characters:
This feature is useful if you mess up the changing your characters name and you have a random character sitting there that you no longer need.
Respec your character:
If you wish to go down a different path (Archer, infantry, skirmisher, crossbowman), you can respec your character at a fee and your class points will be restored and you are able to choose a different class.
NOTE: You will loose all assist xp put into your support class.
NOTE2: You will loose all gold spent on Hero Classes.
Onto the game!
General Information about Gameplay:
Nord Invasion is set up in 20 waves. They are as follows:
1) Mixed wave of Nords.
2) Challenge wave, meaning Nords of 1 type generally of higher ranking.
3) Mixed wave of Nords with a few heavier units than the previous mixed wave.
4) Boss wave/Respawn Wave.
Each game type follows this pattern. In all game modes, you spawn on wave 0 (The start of the game), wave 5, 9, 13 and 17 as they are the waves AFTER the boss waves (4/8/12/16).
Normal Mode:
This mode is suited for level 1-32. Although it is neigh impossible to beat Normal Mode without the help of high tier players.
Normal mode has 5 different bosses, here they are:
Wave 4: Followers - Boss - Nord Seargent
Wave 8: Nord Skirmishers - Boss - Nord Captain
Wave 12: Nord Troopers - Boss - Nord Warlord
Wave 16: Nord Veteran Pikeman - Boss - Nord Commander
Wave 20: Royal Huscarls - Boss - Nord Prince
Hard Mode:
This mode is suited for Level 32 + players, although it IS impossible to beat Hard Mode without a few high tier players.
Hard mode has 5 different bosses, here they are:
Wave 4: Royal Vanguard Huscarl - Boss - Royal Vanguard Commander
Wave 8: Royal Assassin - Boss - Royal Torturer
Wave 12: Juggernaut - Boss - Nord Siege Captain
Wave 16: Heavy Huscarls - Boss - Nord War Marshall OR Queen's Guard - Boss - Princess Dortea
Wave 20: Fimbulwinter Warrior - Boss - King Ragnar
Ragnorak Mode:
This mode is suited for level 39 + players, although the community thinks Ragnorak should me 50 + as this allows you to bring in a Short Heavy Barricade - The optimal support item for Ragnorak mode. Ragnorak mode cannot be completed without the use of the best items in the game, such as the ressurection tome.
Ragnorak mode has 5 different bosses - Although, in Ragnorak mode, they are Demi-Gods and the god himself, Odin.
Wave 4: Nord Champion Huscarl - Boss - Heimdallr
Wave 8: Einherjar - Boss - Tyr
Wave 12: Tricksters -Boss - Loke
Wave 16: Thor's Chosen - Boss - Thor
Wave 20: Odin's Chosen - Boss - Odin
Here is a complete guide on all waves: http://forum.nordinvasion.com/index.php?...724.0.html
Deploying Barricades and Shielders:
Please, use common sense when building barricades and preparing the shield wall. If the nords are coming from your left, you shield on the left and place barricades on the right. If nords are coming from your right, place cades on the left and shield on the right, is any more explination needed?
More in depth Guide: http://forum.nordinvasion.com/index.php?...712.0.html
The Tab Screen:
Press Tab, look on the right side of the screen. If it say's 1 dead, it means there are 2 nords alive (3 agents - 1 dead agent = 2 alive). If it say's 2 dead, it means 1 nord is alive (3 agents - 2 dead agents = 1 alive).
More in depth: http://forum.nordinvasion.com/index.php?...712.0.html
Basic Commands among the Nord Invasion Community:
Saving Last:
This means don't kill the last nord alive, so you can prepare for the next wave, in order to save a nord, just stand in front of it and block it using auto - block (Just spam right click if you cant time it correctly or have high ping).
"R"
If people ask if you are ready they generally say "R?", you either reply with y/n (Yes no) or a simple "R".
"H"
Means heal the guy saying "H".
Target Prioritising:
In Normal mode, ranged should focus on Fionn-Mc-Cumhails -> Nord Berserkers -> Ranged
In Hard mode, ranged should focus on the Nord Priests -> Mercenary Ballistamen
In Ragnorak Mode, ranged should focus on the Nord Priests -> Dveigar Ballistamen
Friendly Nord:
This happens when the Nord swaps between a barricade and a player and gets stuck on which to attack, when this happens, the nord will simply walk up to the player it is intending to kill but not actually attack. This is a friendly nord and should not be killed. At all costs, keep this nord away from Barrels and Barricades/Platforms etc as it will swap targets to it and become un-friendly.
