Green Man Loaded Shows Off The Black Death's Militia

Green Man Loaded has released a new video for The Black Death that details its Militia class. Militia start in camps that are isolated from others. In the beginning, there are naught but other militia surrounding them. They have the upper hand when fighting other classes such as peasants, but skill is still the deciding factor in any fight. To balance their abilities out, Militia can only craft crude items. Their "unique profession ability" is that of kicking forward, stunning whoever they hit. The primary role of Militia is to "clear out plague mobs."

The video also details several other game mechanics. Alcohol will refill your nourishment quickly but will get you drunk, blurring your vision. When you kill another player, you are commit a crime and activate a timer, during which guards will attack you.

Combat is dependent upon stance. Using the correct stance will allow you to automatically parry and stun in response to all attacks. When you left click or right click, you attack from that direction, changing your stance in the process.

When you take damage, you begin to bleed. You will continue to bleed out until you use a bandage. Militia can craft crude bandages despite their limited crafting abilities.

The Black Death is available to pre-order for $19.99 on Green Man Gaming, the Humble Store, and Steam. It will launch on April 19th.
