Once we get there.Īs for the faction colour being red: I gave the tsar a red shield replacing the old blue one, and the faction symbol is not brown either, if that´s what you meant, so I think we are good.Īs for the faction colour being red: I gave the tsar a red shield replacing the old blue one, and the faction symbol is not brown either, if that´s what you meant, so I think we are good.In my opinion you should stick with what is proven ,and what is accurate to history ,bulgarians didn't have plate armor ,maybe Fruzhin had ,but that's because he was in the hungarian court ,and also ,just because other countries have plate armor ,doesn't mean that the bulgarians would have (if we survived). But I don´t see if other nations could afford it, why the bulgarians shouldn´t, so late era units will have white armour like those of the hungarian, polish and other western knights.

I was told in this forum that full plate was too expensive but plate elements would have been present. It is still unclear to me whether the bulgarians wore full plate or not in the late era (whether under ottoman rule or not). The high era (formerly late era) infantry is also in line with the pictures and drawings I was presented: they wear brigandine and coat of plates, bascinets etc. That was one point people had issues with before. The heavy spearmen unit wears the same lamellar armour as before, however I improved the textures a lot, I also gave them maille and I changed their helmets from "volga bulgarian style" to more byzantine and european influenced. The militia spearmen is a new unit so it needs a new card and the heavy spearmen unit as well since they have different helmets.Īnd this leads me to the answers for lion8000: Only some units require new cards, but it´s up to you finix, how many you want changed.

Actually I like them all, but that´s because I made them so to until I like how they looked Generally speaking the transitional armour period is my favourite so yeah.įinix is right, I will add additional units to the roster, but this is what I had time for, for now, and I presented them here so that he can create new cards. Overall, I'd say they're a ripoff, unless you're Milan going with the all-cities approach, in which case dismounted broken lances are your only heavy infantry.Thanks for all : I´m not sure I have a favourite unit but I guess I like the high era bolyars a lot. Once again, purple-headed stepchild.ĭismounted men-at-arms and broken lances have very fancy armor, have high maintenance costs, and come late in the game, but in skill and morale are similar to other medium-grade swordsmen.

They come later than when most factions get DFKs (which Byzantines effectively get, in the form of dismounted latinkon, from citadel armouries). This is because the Byzantines are CA's purple-headed stepchild.ĭismounted Byzantine lancers have very upgradable armor (even more than Norse swordsmen), but come from fortresses with barracks.

They also get a little more upgradable armor than Iberian militias.īyzantine infantry are like Iberian militias, except they don't get free upkeep in cities. Norse swordsmen give the advantage of extremely early recruitment, available from basic castles (dismounted huscarls don't hurt the early Danish infantry roster either, of course). The Iberian militias, swordsmen militia and urban militia, give the advantages of urban recruitment and low maintenance. Arguably, dismounted broken lances and dismounted men-at-arms belong in the same family. :pNorse Swordsmen form part of a family of similar units, which I'd call "medium-grade sword-and-shield fighters": Byzantine infantry, dismounted Byzantine lancers, Norse swordsmen, swordsmen militia, and urban militia. I'm probably missing a lot of awesome units. I really enjoyed the dismounted feudal knights and the Norse swordsmen. I'm still new to Medieval II, so I haven't really gotten around to try a whole lot of units.
