===Classes=== In the initial release only one class was available to each team, although eighteen classes are planned in total. The eighteen classes planned for the final version of PVKII are to include for the Pirates: Skirmisher, Captain, Sharpshooter, Freebooter, 'Ealer, and Swashbuckler. For the Vikings: Berserker, Huscarl, Gestir, Bondi, Seio-Kona, and Jarl. For the Knights: Heavy Knight, Archer, Man-at-Arms, Assassin, Cleric, and Lord. The release of beta 2.0 saw the inclusion of a further three classes and the Viking Gestir was introduced for 2.3. The overall class structure is designed for balance, with a variety of different classes being used to create effective strategies against the opposing teams. Each class' weapons follow the theme of their team: pirate classes use a variety of [[sabre]]s, [[cutlass]]es and [[flintlock|flintlock firearms]], the Vikings use [[battle axe]]s and spears and knight players have access to a range of [[sword]]s and [[Bow (weapon)|bows]]. Every class also has access to a unique special ability, which becomes available after a player has dealt sufficient damage to foes.<ref name="features"/> Pirate players can choose from either a [[captain (nautical)|captain]] or a [[skirmisher]]. Captains are armed with a cutlass, a [[blunderbuss]] and a [[parrot]], which can be used for harassing enemies or as a distraction. Their special ability gives them the capability of firing an explosive cannonball from their blunderbuss.<ref name="captain">{{cite web|url=http://www.pvkii.com/weaponscapt.php|title=Weapons: Pirate Captain|publisher=''PVKII'' Team|accessdate=2008-02-27}}</ref> Skirmishers are equipped with a cutlass which they can lunge forward and impale enemies by using their special ability, a flintlock pistol and a [[gunpowder]] [[keg]]. Skirmishers move faster than most other classes, but have relatively less health.<ref name="skirmisher">{{cite web|url=http://www.pvkii.com/weaponsskir.php|title=Weapons: Pirate Skirmisher|publisher=''PVKII'' Team|accessdate=2008-02-27}}</ref> The Vikings can play as a [[berserker]], [[huscarl]] or [[gestir]]. A berserker possess a two-handed bearded axe as well as a shorter axe and shortsword. Berserkers can use their special ability to drive themselves into a bloodlust, allowing them to move faster and attack more effectively.<ref name="berserker">{{cite web|url=http://www.pvkii.com/weaponsbers.php|title=Weapons: Viking Berserker|publisher=''PVKII'' Team|accessdate=2008-02-27}}</ref> The huscarl is armed with a shortsword and a shield which can be used to ram enemies with their special ability, eight throwing axes and a two-handed axe.<ref name="huscarl">{{cite web|url=http://www.pvkii.com/weaponshusc.php|title=Weapons: Viking Huscarl|publisher=''PVKII'' Team|accessdate=2008-02-27}}</ref> The gestir is equipped with a shield and langseax, three javelins which can be thrown at enemies, and a spear which gestirs can use their special ability on to charge enemies and knock them away.<ref name="gestir">{{cite web|url=http://www.pvkii.com/main.php?page=weaponsgest|title=Weapons: Viking Gestir|publisher=''PVKII'' Team|accessdate=2010-02-15}}</ref> The knights have access to a [[knight|heavy knight]] and an [[archery|archer]]. Heavy knights are slow moving but wield a [[longsword]] and can use their special ability to do a circular spinning attack. They are also equipped with a shield and a shortsword.<ref name="heavyknight">{{cite web|url=http://www.pvkii.com/weaponsheav.php|title=Weapons: Heavy Knight|publisher=''PVKII'' Team|accessdate=2008-02-27}}</ref> By contrast, the archer is a fast moving class armed with both a [[crossbow]] and a [[longbow]], and can use their special ability to fire three flaming arrows at once from the longbow. They are also equipped with a shortsword for close combat.Like skirmishers, they have relatively less health than other classes.<ref name="archer">{{cite web|url=http://www.pvkii.com/weaponsarch.php|title=Weapons: Knight Archer|publisher=''PVKII'' Team|accessdate=2008-02-27}}</ref>
