Preview of Aragon - Update2

[Aurelius Maximus]

oh yeah, i looooooved legoos to, especially the pirates and the medieval ones, good times...

[JunkFood Knight]

Who didnt like legos?!?

[Hounf of Culan]

Legos took most of my time as a kid, they were awesome, great units KK.

[Yuiis]

Wow KK Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Almogavers look totally realistic now!!!

Shaba Wangy points out great things also! If you could include short sword as secondary it would be great, and what you say about the tactic of first throwing javelin right before charging it would be realistic as hell. That is just exactly how they fought and how they even repelled heavy cavalry charges!!! The shield is optional you could take it out or just have a few of them have them (is that possible?), most of the sources indicate us that they fought with no shield or with small ones. If its too much of a fuss, having them with that small shield is ok anyway xD.

+rep for that skin

[Shaba Wangy]

AH! I can just hear the "Desperta ferro!" in my mind!

[Badnewz]

Great job Kong.

If i could give u rep i would

[MTM1977]

I must say that both of the new factions look really interesting! The game just keeps getting better and better, big thanks to KK

[Almogaver]

I really have to say that these skins are awesome, outstanding work! that is why I hate to say the following: the coat of arms shown on many units is "only" 500 years old, that is, 1499. This coat of arms is still used nowadays in Aragon but it's incorrect to use it in the medieval era. But anyway... those skins deserve an A!!

[Shaba Wangy]

The correct CoA is below, as Almogaver deftly points out.

haha almogaver, funny sig.

[Mike13531]

what does it mean? tranlation please,

[ignasigh]

Molt bó almugavar!!!

[Mike13531]

HEY< translation again please?

[Aurelius Maximus]

"Baldrick! T'he dit que no em deixis dormir fins tard. Aquesta dona cobra per hores!"

Translation: Baldrick! I told you not to let me sleep until late. This woman charges per hour!

[The Mongol]

Looking good, I for one think Almughavars should be restricted to Aragon. Spain and Portugal are similar enough as it is, we wouldn't want Aragon being a clone faction would we? I think it's sad that Portguals "special unit" is Jinetes and Spain's is "Conquistadores" while both factions have them.

Just my 2 cents anyways.

[Aurelius Maximus]

yeah i agree with the mongol give Almughavars only to Aragon

[King Kong]

Hi Yuiis,

I'm especially glad when you like them!
And yes, as Shaba Wangy said, I will give them sword for the secondary weapon and also a new attack where they thro their spears and charge into the enemy after that (how they also did it historically..).


Hi almogavar,

Thanks! And well, I didn't know that they had another coat of arms before the one I'm currently using...
Maybe I will change them slightly to the one Shaba Wangy suggested.
Thanks for the note!

Hi Mongol,

Yes, I agree with that. Almugavars will be exclusively for Aragon.
Probably Portugal will get normal javelinmen instead and Spain will get the lisutanian javelinmen. This will secure that the factions are still balanced.

[numerosdecimus]

Don't you mean the opposite King Kong?

"Portugal will get the lusitanian javelinmen and Spain will get the standard javelinemen."

[Yuiis]

Hey KK,

Do you think you could add shaba's coat of arms but with this extra detail?

Would look amazing....

[Mike13531]

lol, it would be great!!
