As a devoted Medieval history buff I would like to add my ideas for more realism unit-wise.

For example: I personally feel that Men At Arms,being proffesional soldiers would have a morale bonus over just Swordsmen.:bash:
Same goes for any reasonably well equipped soldier such Halberdiers, Heavy Crossbowmen, Heavy Swordsmen and the like.


If you wish I will upload my unit stats for testing. :wink:

Exactly what I thought - I gave the disciplined units in my mod morale bonuses, too. Though I did not include relatively simple units like Heavy Swordsmen and Men-at-Arms, but rather Highlanders, Varangians, Halberdiers and (Heavy) Crossbowmen.

I for the most part agree with you on that but, disciplined Highlanders? I thought they would just be somewhat over-confident.

I also wish ask anyone's opinion on this: I think that Men-At-Arms, Halberdiers, Heavy Crossbowmen would be Freemen who actually sign up voluntarily. (I know, I know, I am obsessed with men-at-arms, namely becuase the're a good soldier and not too expensive.)


EDIT: Doux, what do you think about adding a "Basic Plate Armorer", for forging small pieces of armor; such as: pauldrons, bracers, and helmets for some semi-elite soldiers? Prime examples would be Heavy Archers, standard Crossbowmen, Heavy Swordsmen, and especialy Men-At-Arms (becuase they wear both pauldrons and a helmet).
