Yes, Britain soon sues for at least a white peace or a ceasefire.
A German dominated Authoritarian twin of the EU is formed in the 1920's and the Planet Earth enters an alternative age of utter...
Oh, I am not talking about Italy doing anything significant for the Central side...
...I am arguing about them not doing anything at all.
Regardless of everything stated, the Italian Front...
Well, it wasn't obvious at the time(duh :) ).
Not to mention that Italy was still game at the time.
I believe a lot of historiography and basically everyone else completely ignores the colossal...
As far as I know, they are last mentioned as mercenaries in the Balkans in 1308 under the employment of Andronikos II.
I would advise a Catalan crossbow unit instead, I recently found this primary...
Really interesting piece.
Different armor depictions, also they all have straight swords.
Sorry, not buying it.
I know of no armor form that was split in such a manner.
We need more info and imagery of it.
I mean, all props to him but, Khalid didn't really travel that far, he barely left Mesopotamia+Arabia.
Sigurd I Magnusson should be mentioned.
How his story is not a movie yet is beyond me.
Yes, less speed, morale and they die more quickly along with dealing less damage.
The amount of stamina a unit has is determined by the 'hardy' or 'very_hardy' attributes in the EDU, or by...
Christ dude.
Good to hear that you are better now.
Alright, I will bite.
Show me, with imagery or drawing, where do you believe that piece of yours belongs on the body.
No offence, but people should seriously stop using websites alone for historiography.
Firstly, the arrow storm was immense and many died, however, they did not halt the advance and the forces did...
You misread the intent of those two sentences.
Though, now that I re-read them, I understand why.
It was more of a "well everyone depicted barefoot dudes, doesn't mean much" argument.
I am not arguing that the lilies are incorrect, I am merely arguing that the crown CoA is historically correct as well.
However, I just remembered that the mod's startdate is 1345, meaning that...
Then how come non-Kotromanic rulers do not use it?
Wherever the family on the throne is not Kotromanic, the crown appears next to the family crest, not the lilies;
...
A lot of non-Greek(Etruscan, Persian, Indian etc.) depictions show warriors fighting barefoot as well.
Heck, the Japanese are depicted so through their history.
I am personally not sure,...
You are confusing the countries coat of arms with the coat of arms of the ruling family.
The lilies are the CoA of the Kotromanic family yes, but after the kingdom was formed, they adopted the...
As I said many times before, use imgur.
Nice stuff.
Huh, I guess these files are quite popular, I received several mails of the links being suspended over and over again.
Damn dropbox.
I will create a new link elsewhere asap.
Well, the inner Arabian peninsula has had quite the history of exporting new waves of different Islamic teachings, some end up quite bizarre and extreme.
Heck, the Qarmatians sacked Mecca and...
Huh, it is quite embarrassing going through my posts in this thread and looking at how I used to argue.
On to it;
That show is quite flawed, and so are the tests.
It is stated in the...
In this famous image, some of the axes have the end of the staff in the same color as the axehead, implying a metal spike-end;
...
How about this;
They are Greek arrows used by Greek archers;
1) Macedonia is arming up and building a large army(for some reason).
2) News spreads around that blacksmiths can find good work...
Holy hell dude, an 11 year necro, that is quite noteworthy:salute:
So, what do you think those swordsmen would then do after they broke through the pike line if they "never really attacked...
It is still not proven that the Ottomans used rotating volley fire at Mohac, it is currently the view that what happened there was improvised ranked fire.
Also, it is not clear who used volley...
That is still not sufficient.
It is not a historical source.
That is far from the case.
Pikes were actually quite light;
I believe that the diary of Peter Hagendorf has some stories about this.
However, it is quite difficult to find translations of it online.
I second the notion of pike bashing being silly.
It seems like the most ridiculous combat tactic I ever heard.
Can anyone provide any actual historical proof that it was done in such a manner?...
Are there?
If you mean that paper from 2013, it also provides absolutely no physical evidence of it in the 14th century, but rather a single image of a samurai wearing something that kinda...
Well then, to the end point;
if heat exhaustion or cooling was actually a major issue to people back then, there would be loads of sources mentioning it.
In reality, such mentions are rare.
...
I am not sure of the prevalence of samurais as horse archers.
Perhaps in the very beginning of their formation yes, but as time went on vast numbers of them were deployed on battlefields, far, far...
What the hell are you talking about?
I did not mean some inherent evolutionary advantage, merely the human body getting used to the elements since birth.
What?
I never even implied...
Do not cite wikipedia.
Also, much of the English articles about Japan's and China's military history is clouded by western orientalist romantics who know as much about arms and armor as I do about...
Yes, but sooner or later in your campaign, you will reach that date, making it historically accurate for the remaining turns of your gameplay:tongue:
Interesting stuff here.
You can easily install both Titanium and SSHIP, simply create a separate and new, parallel SS folder in your mod folder and install the other submod there.
It will work.
Oh, it is not just the loading screens, I also have other work I done that is downloaded quite often so the dropbox just disables my account links because of high traffic.
However, I just tested...
