Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, usually abbreviated as [[Fun
Like in Mythic's previous MMO, [[Dark Age of Camelot]], the emphasis is in [[Player Versus Player]] and their trademarked Realm versus Realm system. There are two sides with three races each: Order (the human [[The Empire|Empire]], the [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|Dwarfs]] and the [[Our Elves Are Better|High Elves]]) and Destruction (Chaos, specifically Tzeentch's followers, the Dark Elves and the [[Our Orcs Are Different|Greenskins]]). Every race has four unique classes open to them, leading to quite a bit of variety and some ''serious'' [[
Most of the universe's general tropes can be found on the main [[Warhammer]] page.
Line 11:
* [[An Adventurer Is You]]: Every race has a tank, a ranged DPS, a melee DPS and a healer.
* [[Badass Bandolier]]: Witch Hunters
* [[The Beast Master]]: White Lions for the High Elves, whose pets are...[[Exactly What It Says
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Male Warrior Priests, and a possible option (though not compulsory) for females.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: How the Witch King is controlling the Orc leader, Grumlok, and his goblin shaman lieutenant, Gazbag. He also increased their power tenfold while he was at it, so it's not all bad.
Line 30:
** Though this is disputable because an avatar of a god in the universe is simply a piece of the god and only represents certain aspects, there is another confirmed avatar of Sigmar in the setting who was one of the only completely [[Lawful Good]] characters in the setting.
* [[Horse of a Different Color]]: Cold Ones (giant lizards) for the Dark Elves, wolves for Goblins, boars for Orcs. The other races just get horses (Chaos Steeds for, er, Chaos, Elven Warhorses for the High Elves or plain horses for the humans). Dwarves get a horse of a VERY different color, steam-punk personal helocopters that allow them to hover a few feet off the earth but act as a mount in every mechanical way.
* [[Kill It
* [[Knight Templar]]: Most of the Empire, as should be obvious to anyone who knows the setting. Especially the [[Burn the Witch|Witch Hunters.]]
* [[Magic Knight]]: On destruction side there is Disiples of Khaine and Chosens, and on Order side there are Warrior Priests, Knights of the Blazing Sun, and Swordmasters.
Line 46:
** There was going to be female verson of the other two Chaos classes, the Choosen was basicly (basiced on art) just as covered and heavy armor as the male, the Murader looked like a female Conan with a carb claw, but they were cut.
* [[Pistol-Whipping]]: The witch hunter's gun will also be used as a melee weapon in melee combat. There is even an ability called 'Pistol Whip'.
* [[Playing
* [[Purely Aesthetic Gender]]: Most Order classes (except Slayers) and a few Destruction ones.
* [[Reverse Grip]]: Witch Elves
Line 52:
** Although that is probably a reference to ''[[The Guns of Navarone]]''
** The [[Black Knight|Black Guard]] career has an ability called [[Monty Python and The Holy Grail|None Shall Pass]].
** A quest in one of the Greenskin tier 4 zones is called "I Smish on your Grave", presumably after the infamous "video nasty" [[I Spit
** The Greenskin Choppa ability Git To Da Choppa is a reference to ''[[Predator]]''.
** The Choppa also has a career mastery called Red Goes Faster! which is a reference to Warhammer 40k, where orks would paint their vehicles red. Because of their psychic powers, red vehicles actually do go faster just because the orks believe that they should.
