1.0 Grappling hook?

Jup, why do you think all knights are bitching about how archers are OP?

let's "grapple with some hookers" then.
get it? grapplinghook? grapple? banana? chewbaka?

 

You know, I thought this might be OP but then I realized he said 100 coins for one that doesn't last all that long? That...price would balance it out I'd think? It is like how you can buy kegs or drills or even mounted bows, specifically it is like kegs because those are knight only if I remember right?

 

read down to up:

Certainly not applicable in a real KAG game (for the balancing issues everyone in this thread is whining about), but it would make for a really cool mod like Boxpipe mentioned. I would definitely play in a RTDM server with grapple-hook-equipped units.
Though, it should only be able to attach to blocks.
If I was ever to mod for KAG, this would probably be the first on my list because I've thought about it before and it would give way to a lot of interesting combat.

 

I suppose you didn't read norill's post above..?

 

I actually did.

 

All this argument is kinda invalid. Grappling hook is confirmed, as well as it replaces knife, confirming they spawn with it, and can use it forever. I personally think it seems rather OP, but we'll have to wait till it comes out to see.
