Unit Mini Preview: Peones



As part of the repopulation process during the Reconquista, Spanish kings would grant priviledges to newly founded councils or towns. In exchange, the towns were required to supply a specific number of peones (from the latin pedes, -itis, "foot soldier") and villein knights which constituted a “council town militia”. In-game they will be available once the Fuero bulding of the repopulation tech-tree is built.

The peones are infantry component of the town militia who are required to go to war in exchange for tax exemptions and privileges granted to them by their king. When the "call to arms" was made to the council militias, every man of military age in the town or district was obliged to join the party, excepting the sick or handicapped and in some cases recently married.

[\Vazul's Ghost/]

Very organic looking unit. Masterfully done!

The thing that I am excited the most about the units Sumskilz is making, alongside those by mods used in DOTS like CBUR, Magyar Mod, the B.A.L.T.S. team etc is that culture is so distinctly represented in the outfits of the units. There will be a stark cultural divide between say Russian levies and Catalans. No longer will we see the same uniform bland painted tabard or stupid fictional eastern european witche's hat, but units who really represent their respective cultures!

YAY!

Hmmm weren't the villain-knights portuguese? The Cavaleiros Vilãos?

Other than that everything looks cool.

[nuel92]

Uuuuuu, I can't wait

[sumskilz]

Hmmm weren't the villain-knights portuguese? The Cavaleiros Vilãos?

Yeah, but not only Portuguese. Castile had caballeros villanos for example.

[brennas]

Hmmm weren't the villain-knights portuguese? The Cavaleiros Vilãos?

Yeah, you're right, but the military organisation was almost the same between Castille and Portugal, since until the XII century they shared almost the same...let's say culture.

[iMember]

Again excellent work here

[RollingWave]

Epic stuff as always
