Totally awesome!

[Crazed Rabbit]

It's like celts (students with big sticks) vs roman legions (police with shields and nightsticks)!

I assume this is from Korea, am I right?

Any context behind the photo, where you got it, etc.?

It is kinda cool.

[Navaros]

awesome thread!

this thread should be stickied and the original poster should be made into an honorary mod for posting such cool stuff :charge:

[HunkinElvis]

Post riot or hooligan images here. I'd like to see them. ~D

I'm glad you people like this thread.

[JAG]

Can we take sides?!

Go students Go!

~D

[Crazed Rabbit]

How do you know the students are protesting for more capitalism and in favor of the Iraqi war, JAG? ~;)

I do admire their guts though. That's a serious riot.

[Al Khalifah]

What is actually going on?

[el_slapper]

Who cares the context? For a real gamer, the context doesn't matter. Only the action is important. Whether the students are pro-Bush or anti-globalization is less important than the aesthetics of this cool battle. ~:cool:

[UglyandHasty]

nice pics :bow:

[King Ragnar]

In the first pic it looks like they were trying to do a sort of testudo formation,lol.

[Templar Knight]

Riots are cool, good old fashioned hand to hand combat ~:cheers:

[Marcellus]

Cool pictures. Bit unfair, though: students with sticks vs riot police. But hey, that's total war! ~:)

[Husar]

The students should form a phalanx. ~:cool: ~D

[Marcellus]

The students should form a phalanx. ~:cool: ~D

Yeah, they should sharpen their sticks and advance! It would be like Romans (the riot police in the Testudo formation) vs Greeks/Macedonians (the students in a phalanx).

[Beirut]

Great pics. I love a good riot!

We are on the edge of Frontroom appropriateness with this. Keep it fun and light. One sniff of politics or serious violence talk and it's off to the Backroom.

[Steppe Merc]

It seems to me they need some good cavalry to disperse those pesky infantry.

[Beirut]

Actually, the best rioters I ever saw were the Japanese protesting against an airport expansion several years back. They all dressed the same, wore the same white hardhats and white scarfs (good psychological warfare), and charged the police lines, repeatedly, using telephone polls as battering rams. ~:eek:

It was... extraordinary.

[Mongoose]

Lame. No cavalry? No archers? Totally 'graphics > gameplay'!

RTW is WAY better then this game!

[King Henry V]

Pepper those students with fire arrows! They need Legionnary Cavalry to charge the rear.
P.S Bring out the Chariots!

[Drisos]

So cool! thanks a lot for this HuckaHucka! ( ~;) )

these students look like Yari Ashigaru's. ~:) Hope they win!

:bow:

[el_slapper]

They lack shields & armor. Archery against them would end up the battle. Though I'm not sure the "Police" King does build a lot of archer units ~D

[Drisos]

exactly. that's why they look like Yari ashigaru. those nearly have no armour and I mostly shoot 75% of them before they reach me. (plus they lack morale, why does the AI use them actually?)

police doesn't have archers luckily. otherwise the students needed a cav charge at those.

enough crap talking from my side ~D

[Al Khalifah]

When is this going to be released as a mod for RTW ?

Please say soon?

Do students have sapping ability?

[King Henry V]

University Total War: Students and Police.

[Al Khalifah]

Factions ?

Students (obviously)
Police (obviously)
South Korean Army ?
The US Army?

Wow. The expansion pack is already for certain.

University Total War: Communist Invasion

Features the new North Korean faction, lead by Kim Yong Il The Mad/Scarface/The Conquerer depending on which settlement you leave him in.

[Beirut]

When is this going to be released as a mod for RTW ?



Ha! :laugh4:

And I love King Henry V's mod name: "University Total War: Students and Police"

That's priceless.

[Arrowhead]

Yeah you got the students pet fish as wardogs ... hey the University Grounds can be a map... the Uni rugby team can be the elephants.

Totally awesome!

One good charge to the right flank with a unit of Knights Templar would show these little peasants who's boss!!! LOL

[PanzerJaeger]

Here's your cavalry Dave.. I thought you'd get a kick out of the first one if you can read the text. ~;)

This cavalry could assist the students. Just looking at them makes one reluctant to touch them.

Such great pics! IMO if these pics continue this thread deserves to be stickified! :bow:

where's beirut? do you read this? truly wonderful, ain't those pics?

~:cool:

[RabidGibbon]

Anyone else notice this heroic policeman who seems to have abandoned the more traditional shield in favour of a big student style stick?

What do you think, Medal or Fired?

https://img329.imageshack.us/img329/4002/riot2oo.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)

Then again, judging from the way he's laying into the copper in front of him maybe he's a student in disguise.

[Al Khalifah]

British Bobbies:

Hardy
Can Sap
Charge Bonus
Bonus when fighting in Mining Districts

http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/mar04/miners%20strike.jpg

Anyone remember the miners strike? Looks like the enemy have double clicked on this unit of miners to instigate a charge.

[HunkinElvis]

:laugh4: There is a 1 point loss in morale when facing those bobbies. Look at how the miners are fleeing without even facing the bobbies. Those tall hats seem to be giving the intimidating effect.

I didn't notice that before. There's so much to see in these pictures.

Thanks Drisos. I'll post more images.

[Drisos]

I would prefer a stick too. samurai don't use shields, only weapons, also for defence. ~:)

i think it's a ninja student in disguise who's crashing the enemy's formation so the students ashigaru unit can slauther them!

keep them coming! ~:cheers: fun thread!

[Mikeus Caesar]

Wow, good thread. I have the feeling that if this thread continues to get bigger, it will go the way of the 'beat the person above you game' and go to the best part of the frontroom.

The very top!!

Btw, i liked that Yonhap News picture of a riot from above. Those rioters looked like they were using a very primitive phalanx, with their metal poles and wooden sticks.

[Mikeus Caesar]

Heh, just found this picture of police horses holding their ground at the Bradford riots.

http://www.thisisbradford.co.uk/bradford__district/bradford/riot/jpg/tl1.jpg

Pretty cool.

The flames!! It burns!!! Obivously the peasants got some fire arrows.

[Drisos]

Hello Mikeus,

How are you doing now? you feel a bit better? I hope so! :yes: You haven't posted for a while in your 'confessions' thread.

sorry for bringing this up in case you are past your depression. it is or was something sad and should be left behind. ~;)

thanks for your pics. :thumbsup:

take care,

Drisos

Looks like our kensai. Everyone is running away from him. :hide:

[Al Khalifah]

Maximum respect for that police officer just walking through the flames like some kind of Terminator.

A hero of the police force faction.

[English assassin]

Obviously the French University Student faction would get units of Sartrean Existentialist rioters, who would cause a moral penalty to anyone facing them with their war cry that there is no meaning to life save what we make for ourselves.

They would also get a female student hottie unit which would immediately cause all male units nearby to become Impetuous.

University total war is an inspired idea, someone must be able to do it?

[scooter_the_shooter]

I hope the cops beat the @#$% out of those pesky rioters :charge:

[Louis VI the Fat]

Awesome thread! Those Korean rioters totally PWN European hooligans! :beam:

Imagine England playing Korea during next years world cup. It'd be fantastic!

[PyrrhusofEpirus]

Awesome thread!!! ~:cheers:
The pre-battle speech of the rioters faction could be "The smell worst than any camel is the....!!!!" fill it by yourself!!! ~;)
