Trojans are actually corrupted knights (arkus is a clear example) We also have ghosts wich are pretty similar :P

'Corrupted knights' just become Trojans. Wording fault aside, what you're suggesting are pretty much 'bad-guy' knights.

A do-able mission perhaps, but all they'd be would be reskinned Mecha knights. If we made them as variable as normal knights, they'd simply become too difficult, and we'd have to cue the ragequitting. The random-spawning would just add to that.

If you're ok with the fact it'll probably only be a mission (or at the very most, it's on set stage) and that said knights will just be reskinned Mecha Knights, then I have no issue.

Or as a Boss, as Arkus was (considered).

Other than that, this isn't going to work.

Nono, you're missing the point. A knight, which becomes corrupted, becomes a Trojan.

'Corruption' =/= Going 'Mwahahahaha! I will destroy Haven!' The latter is just being your typical bad guy, which is what this suggests.

"i think that corrput knight should be a new family branch to sk and OOO could put effort into a new combat system thats balanced for the family."

First things first, it CAN'T be a new family, because new all the 'weakness/strength' combinations have already been taken. To add a new combination would involve a complete revamp of monster types and damage types, which will take a lot of work.

A LOT.

The reason I was so vague about why it wouldn't work other than as just another Mecha Knight reskin is because there is a lot of things to take into consideration with something like this. Other than the development involved, if the 'Corrupt knight' didn't have a set form, and was instead variable, refer to my previous post. Ragequits and imbalance all around.

The mission is because SK is mostly story based. If there were to be Rogue Knights, it'd only make sense for there to be a mission getting the player to quell the rebellion.

Random spawn is not an option. Set strength/weakness based on an existing class, most likely Construct, and for story's and inkeeping-with-the-organization-thing's sake, it's own level. Mission or CW or both, it matters not.

Obviously you could also have them wearing different armours, like Wolver or whatever, but that may confuse a lot of people, not to mention that they'd all still be the same monster type anyway, and something that variable is going to be hard to fit in while still trying to make sense with SK's 'rules'.

Next door to impossible.

Gremlin Demo--> bomber
mechaknights/ghosts--> swordsman
devilites/kats--> gunner

They don't behave like real kngiths but those differences give them a chance to fight without coding a perfect AI. Swap the models.

"First things first, it CAN'T be a new family, because new all the 'weakness/strength' combinations have already been taken." Technically, that's not true. We still have the deals piercing/weak to elemental, deals shadow/weak to shadow, and deals elemental/weak to piercing slots open. Although I agree with pretty much everything else you said.

However, if this WAS doable, Swarmed Knights could be a very possible occurrence.

@Lezlyblaze, Knights aren't space marines and this isn't the 41st millennium.

@Hexzyle, That simply states that Spiral Knights were based off of generic space marines, not even 40k space marines. That would be like saying we should add links clothes because the gameplay is reminiscent of old zelda games.

If it were the 41st millennium, we would have known better than to send a ship full of people into the unknown without a way to help them.

Also, can no finds Tau.

double ganger that copies the eaxct same loadout of a knight it meets in the clockworks.?

LOL Double ganger.

lololololol.

AND HYDRALISKS AND ZEALOTS AND REAVERS AND TEMPLAR AND MARINES AND WRAITHS AND...

Fixed that for you

A lot of people who have played SCII haven't. It's kinda odd that they haven't, seeing as SC1 and SCBW are half the story.
