Wow, seriously?
Byzantine heavy cavalry are SCARY, I'm always very wary about facing them with my Novgorod troops (damn lack of spears)
TGC in order to continue its development seak one or more desicated scripters to put our campaign scripts mess to an order plus to create new events and create the finall missing factions recruitment system. In return TGC will give permision to those that will help to use its material stepe by step. The result will be a fully released TGC plus many mods that will benefit TGC's material.
Despite the mod is dead does not mean that anyone can use its material
read this to avoid misunderstandings.
IWTE tool master and world txt one like this, needed inorder to release TGC 1.0 official to help TWC to survive.
Adding MARKA HORSES in your mod and create new varietions of them. Tutorial RESTORED.
I don't remember. At the time i thought the CBUR team was the same as the rr/rc team.
I count Mourtatoi as exceptional given their high attack and availability. In fact, they have the very same attack and arrow type as Peasante archers They even have about the same starting total defence, though their armour+shield is worse than the peasante archers' armour.
I invade the Byzantine Empire just to get those AOR Mourtatoi archers, the best archers in the game, cheap, widely available, and there flaming arrows thrash any unit not in Plate Armour...drool...
CBUR is included in RR/RC by the kind permission of the CBUR developers

yes, that's about right.
PB did you remove those silly punching animations? Yes I have a long, sharp metal weapon in my hand, but I'll punch you with my fist instead
Captain Falcon needs no wimpy sticks!
Romans are like cheating
the early campaign, 2 units of heavy cav + 2 or 3 generals = 300 or so man wrecking crew.
Unless we're talking soleley about the reigns of Manuel II onward, I wouldn't necessarily say they were 'weaker'. Granted, we've lost the last of the Tagmata, but any weakness on the part of the Romans I would attribute more to strategic failure and politics than any general tactical shortcomings.
Mourtadoi in my opinion are too good. Extraordinary unit, time of train 1 turn, peasante 4 turns. Cost and upkeep favor them again, the atack defence/missel atack is almost same. And are available in high numbers. All time deserve invade Greece for them if you are not Venice. People imagine, ah lets go in England we get best archers. No, no, no, venetians, bizantium and turks will make you cry at range.
Kill Them All, Let God Sort Them Out!
does the HRE ever get better, I've never played a campaign as England which has seen them last longer than the first 100 turns.
Because England didn't have the best archers in the world, it just used what it had intelligently. Unlike France.
"Ooh, look at that marshy uphill with pits, caltrops and stakes. And are those thousands of bowmen on the sides?"
"I know: let's charge!"
K/T, times changed. France have french archers now, scots guards, arbalesters, so now is, we make a nice range to range battle or we just send the Lancers.
Kill Them All, Let God Sort Them Out!
The English get the best archers in terms of availability and even though venetian archers and mourtatoi have 5 attack, like retinue longbowmen, the retinue longbowmen have more accurate and heavier arrows (just from a projectile comparison, I'm not sure if there are other factors).
The scots guard seem to be, one on one, better than the retinue longbowmen given they have the exact same ranged capabilities, but don't even come close in terms of availability.
Meese if I want a nice money maker with less trouble, of course I will play England. Kill scotts, invade Ireland and be happy. Can make same scenaroi with Portugal or Hre like invaders in Britania and geting via AoR the longbows.
What I learn in this game is beside best archers, best infantry, best two handers, simplify and you get 1 super weapon named cavalry. Generals are only 9 bodyguards now, so no more nice charge with generals first 30 turns. Let see Miles are better than Mailed? Feudal are for all europeeans, so must be the cavalry after 1200. Than we face the archers supremacy of english, in terms of unit spam with french boys who got only the regular ones. But when you access Yeomans and all the good stuff, more available than scots, French got arbalesters in PLATE and scotts in PLATE. This mean bye bye dear english archers, welcome to cavalry charge, good armore and cheap 150 upkeep vulge guys.
I played a lot all factions of plain SS, and RR-RC.
I not like to play with no good archers factions ca HRE and Teutons, still I play them a lot. I was aprisonier of Aragon lot of time, because their special flavor and diversity for example.
And archers even if are stacks of them are useless in a siege of Citadel.
Back to topic, ERE have something great in their rooster what few said numbers. Their units of 100 scutati versus sargent spears of 63 is a key factor in wining. When use cvalari+ scolari, coverup by scutati, murtadoi, and spatari to vasileos, wining is so sweet.
That why I love to crush them with Venice!
