Whoever is the guy with the coat of arms that looks like a real coat of arms, stop running around the side of the map for ages and then trying to push me into the wall, it makes the game boring.

All classes must be bought once, then they stay with you. (Until you die, that is.)
I'm not 100% sure about what your character size does (small, medium, large) but it seems that the smaller you are, the shorter your weapon is (lower range) but the faster you can attack.
Attacking someone's shield doesn't work, you have to wait for an opening or hit them from another direction.
Go past the white line to forfeit, you will keep your title but if your team loses you lose 25% of your gold.
Your health never increases, but you lose less per attack depending on what armor you have.
Your attacks working or not depends on if you're actually touching the enemy with your weapon (the little grey thing that shoots forward every time you attack.)
At 60 seconds remaining on the timer (timer is under the minimap) the white box begins to shrink. At 0 it will have forfeited every single person on the map, but usually you'll get pushed out before then.
Bots are almost always peasants, although sometimes they get lucky and get to Yeoman, and their coat of arms is always a dark gray shield with a light gray square in the center.
The default coat of arms for a player is a black shield with a white plus in the center.
The scoreboard shows the top 10 high scores (scores being total gold) and the Coat of Arms and Title of the players who got them.

Great info, but I just wanna let you know that size affects health and agility (how quickly you can turn and how fast you can run).
Large gives you a HUGE amount of health (great for starting off, you can wipe out loads of bots) but in return, you end up large and cumbersome. This means that enemy players (peasants don't do it much, they are stupid) that are smaller than you can attack you from the flank really easily.
I find it best to go small once you have decent armour, that way you can tear up enemy players and still have a decent chance against 3-5 peasants. Being small allows you to run and turn fast, so it's great for running circles round your fat enemy player and shanking him from behind.
Honestly, the major thing to look out for when being big is being outflanked by other enemy players. If you're in an area where there are lots of peasants, you're relatively safe, seeing as they always attack head on unless they are already behind you.
PS: If you love getting in the thick of battle, I suggest staying as a large person, but make sure you have good armour! And like he said, you will be safer if you don't attack, because your shield will protect you, so you can punch a hole right through their line and have a steady stream of your own men outflank em.
And yeah, if they added horses or even archers, and made the AI a bit smarter and the option to control your own squads, the game would be insane.
Honestly, how awesome would it be being a king on horseback, giving orders to your sergeants, which they can either carry out or ignore. I'd love to tell my men to form a wall and present shields, or to instead form a circle and defend against cavalry.
This game has a lot of potential, but CrypticSea has a tendency to not carry out games to the end.
Wish it got more publicity. Almost all of their newly released games are awesome time-wasters and are really enjoyable.
Wow, this thread exploded over night. If you want to see them expand on the game, try commenting on the news post. If they get enough interest, they may continue working on it. A New Zero started as an experiment, but it was so well received that they are still improving it after a year now.
I love the story in the game.

Getting on now.

The something else is playing for you bug occured, be on in a moment.
For people who join a game and have no control of their character, it happens. It's annoying as fuck, but when you die and respawn it usually fixes itself. I think it happens when you join late, it fucks up your synchronization or something.
Wow, I was just playing a game with someone. He was a King and had plate armour and all the best upgrades. His banner was red and white.
Anyway, I changed over to the blue team, and we were giving his ass a kicking. He ends up being the only guy left against me and i'd say around 16 bots. He does that whole "run round the outside and let them surrender" move and gets us down to about 8 guys in total. He kills about 4 of em and then he eventually dies. After that, he quits. Server closes. I lose my progress.
What a prick.
Pretty fun game.
I'm playing right now.
My banner is an orange arrow and a blue arrow.
