Instant death
 

I think if you are in b-mode and you shoot another player in b-mode with a cannon from land or on a ship it should be instant death if you hit them close enough.

Cmon who has ever had a direct hit by a cannon and lived?
Maybe even a damage of crew on ships?
But of course the damage couldn't be that big otherwise ship battling would be too easy.

No. Instead, it should knock you back and stun you for 5-10 seconds.

Any good hit with a sword would be instant death in reality. You can't think this way when you're talking about a HP system.

X.x
 

That idea sucks!
Why would you even need stunned?
with ships damaging players atrillery barrages can be performed.

Ships can attack shores helping players land ect.
stunning them would be pointless.
You don't even need to stun a player to kill him.

hm
 

A hp system does kinda suck.
but if that was the case then Gk would be a lit arcadey.
which i agree with but others probably don't.

To be honest i think Gk should be arcadey as then each kingdom war is fair and so on and so forth.

Nice idea. in the few battles ive been in, ive been dying to gather up a group of people behind a several-layer thick stone wall fortress, and then fire away with a solid wall of cannonfire. Realistically, a cannonball blowing up near you is gonna cause some powerful damage, if your too close then you go splat :p
Another great idea! *drinks rum*

It's only a good idea to you because you use cannonballs all the time. This isn't about realism. This is about GAME BALANCE.
