![]() 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.Rather than the medieval sling that's swung around to throw a projectile, it's a modern Y-shaped slingshot. Anachronism Stew: Will Scarlet carries a slingshot around.She heals, has a bow with a 12 arrow quiver, can revive unconscious people, listens to detect the identity of shrouded units, and packs a deadly sword to boot. The last major character to join, and a major asset. He does, however, complain how exhausting fighting is. Acrofatic: Friar Tuck can run pretty fast and become as nimble in combat as any other character despite his physique.Like Desperados (which was released the year prior), it utilizes a 2.5D engine with quick action queuing and the ability to see enemy vision cones.

Gilchrist noted the foliage was scanty but the tree retained live upper branches until after 1938. In the same year, it was mentioned in a book of Robert Murray Gilchrist who described the tree as "an old, old man who will be brave to the end". It was again damaged by a fire set by picnickers in 1913. Towards the end of the 19th century the tree was badly burned in a fire originating from a group of schoolgirls boiling a kettle within the hollow. The tree was later reinforced with iron bars and cables. At this point, the hollow trunk was big enough to accommodate 12 people. Robin Hood's Larder shown on an 1880 postcardĪn 1874 guidebook to the region mentions the tree and states that it was used formerly by a thief named Hooton to hang the carcasses of stolen sheep. Because of this legend the tree has also been known as the Butcher's Oak, the Slaughter Tree and the Shambles Oak, the latter because it was the traditional name for an area of town where butchers and abattoirs were located. It is said that in earlier times hooks used for the hanging of meat could still be seen affixed to the inside of the tree these had vanished by 1913. The use of such trees for storing game was common in the times before refrigeration and regardless of the veracity of the Robin Hood legend it is likely that at some point the tree was used for this purpose by poachers. It is reputed that Robin Hood used the hollow trunk of the tree as a temporary store for venison poached from the royal forest. The tree's name derives from an association with the legendary figure of Robin Hood. ![]() The site is currently in the ownership of the Forestry Commission and the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre, run by Nottinghamshire County Council, is nearby.

The oak tree was located in Birklands, part of Sherwood Forest that was first mentioned in 1251 and in continual ownership by the crown for 600 years. The tree fell in a gale in 1961 and no trace of it remains. It was badly burnt by fire in the late 19th century and again in 1913. ![]() The tree had long been hollow and is reputed to have been used by the legendary outlaw Robin Hood and others as a larder for poached meat.
