any mirorrs? i cant download anything

[brandybarrel]

Methoz,

The FileFront download is working.

Turning off your Pop Up Blocker located in the Tools tab of your Browser (Internet Explorer) may help. Do that, and go back one page. The download panel should appear. If not, refresh your page or leave the FileFront site and come back with your Pop Up Blocker turned off.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, it's a good file and I know these types are hard to make, so many thanks !


Some possible room for improvements would be...
1. An indication if a unit is free garrison. This is a very important part of a unit, IMHO.
2. What building is needed to make the units.
3. Easier reference to which armor upgrade is possible.
4. A version in tab form, without the pictures (as you did for v1.2).

[brandybarrel]

Hi Yogol,

1. All militia units are free garrison. Those that do not have militia in their name (as in some Kingdoms units) have an “f” next to their recruiting number.
2. “Recruiting building” is often asked for and will be considered for future versions.
3. Armor upgrades were excluded due to priority and spacing.
4. Other people have posted tabular forms at the forums.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions

Hi Methoz,

Unfortunately, the links are not working at the moment. I have been looking into the problem for the past hour without any success. :hmmm:

Maybe FileFront is busy. Please try again later.

Why is the unit size in Kingdoms for cavalry capped at 60 instead of 80 as in vanilla M2TW?

[brandybarrel]

@admin.

The FAUST is a unit stat guide aimed at the general audience of M2:TW.

It is not a mod or modding resource and would be best relocated elsewhere than the Mod Workshop.

Cheers,

Thanks a lot! This is good stuff!
