Darkfall Peek #31

The thirty-first installment to RPG Vault's "peek" feature for Darkfall is now online, this time with Adventurine's Tasos Flambouras discussing the tactical nature of the game's combat system.
Naval combat tactics
Ship movement is affected by prevailing weather conditions. Sophisticated fleet engagements with dozens of ships on each side, attacks on land from the sea, and combined land-sea operations are all possible in Darkfall.

Asymmetrical warfare
Hit and run tactics, raiding, use of the terrain, concealment, and timing can all be very effective in waging a war against a larger opponent.

Finishing - reviving - looting tactics
When your character is incapacitated on the battlefield, you're waiting for your teammates to revive you, and hoping your opponents won't get there first to loot and finish you off. Finishing off incapacitated opponents and reviving your teammates is one of the tactics that can tip the scales between equally matched forces.
