    Re: PRO DEO ET REGE v0.4: Feedback and Discussion

    You can use artillery in this version.

    And you could use it in the last version, too. So God knows what you're asking here!

    Re: PRO DEO ET REGE: Bug Reports

    For all of the knightly orders, you have to wait for their historical date of foundation to be able to train any of their units. For the Templars, that's sometime in the 1120s, IIRC.

    I'd rather have the Americas in the game than not. They make a nice extra, just another option to take.

    Re: English infantry - early game

    Yeah, you've got to use Billmen as your 'flanking' troops. Use levy spearmen or spear militia for the battle line - they can hold for long enough to let you get the heavies in around the side.

    I didn't install DirectX 9 because I already have the most up-to-date version. As for WMP, I have WMP10, but seeing as the videos are .bik format, not .wma, that shouldn't have any sort of bearing.
