Blue and orange guards tend to rush into battle, while red guards are more cautious and will seek backup. They'll also wake up and untie incapacitated enemies and seek civilian assistance, to say nothing of interrogating beggars in case one is fake.
Artificial Brilliance: Guards will run extensive searches throughout every open area, call for backup, and report to their superiors.The allied civilians are clad in varieties of green, a grace not given in the company's sister game (see above). The better dressed and groomed civilians will often report any sightings of the player characters, while poor civilians will praise them, sometimes misdirect guards if they come looking for them and offer valuable information.Averted with Richard the Lionheart, Sir Godwin, Lord Ranulph and Robin himself (he is of noble family). Also, enemy knights are shown to be contemptuous of the regular soldiers and just as brutal as their underlings, while the mounted ones are not above killing unconscious opponents. The game's major villains are a prince, the famous sheriff, two nobles stated to be the prince's right and left hand men (at least in the region), respectively, and a rather brutal knight.As for the knights and paladins, your arrows completely bounce off of their armour. However, enemies carrying shields can block arrows, and each individual character can only carry about twelve arrows each. Your arrows, on the other hand, are a lot more powerful, often killing unshielded enemies in just one or two shots. Enemy arrows (and enemy crossbow bolts, to a lesser extent) deal fairly low damage, and are only dangerous because archers can fire them fairly rapidly. Annoying Arrows: both played straight and averted.An Axe to Grind: Sir Scathlock's weapon of choice.To defeat your enemy in this case, it is extremely important to skillfully control your mouse movements. So, for example, if one of the squad members engages in a swordfight, the player can personally take over the battle and start swordplay. The game's action-packed turn-based battles, interspersed with real-time action, are a gimmick. The gameplay in Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood was the real highlight of the project created by Spellbound Studios and released in 2002. Of course, the noble hero Robin takes it upon himself to save Richard. Meanwhile, taking advantage of the situation, the king's brother Prince John decides to seize the throne without paying the ransom. The latter not only keeps the king in prison, but also demands a ransom of £100,000 for him. The main problem is that King Richard was kidnapped by the henchmen of Duke Leopold V. Upon his return, the protagonist discovers that all his possessions have been illegally seized by the local sheriff, but that is not the main point. The setting is the town of Lincoln, where Robin Hood has made his home before the campaign. The story is set immediately after the protagonist returns from the Crusades. In Robin Hood, the central character is Robin himself, and he is surrounded by minor personalities like Little John, Father Tuck, Scarlet Will and Marian the Hun. Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood is a tactical action role-playing game, the gameplay resembling the products of the gaming industry, such as Commandos, Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive, and similar games, where the view from above, and the player has the ability to control a squad of fighters.
