I haven't posted here on DotS forum before, but I have followed the progress of the mod very actively and I have really liked what I've seen in the previews so far. I especially like mod's very historically accurate approach to Medieval era. I wish you good luck with the final polishing and can't wait to try this.

why hang bunnies when you could hang republicans?

Because we don't have any where I live? And who would care? + rep anyway.

[Basil 11]

Can't wait !

Whats DotS Hammer and Anvil? Is this supposed to be a submod for an unreleased mod? LOL
But seriously, there is no information about what this is.

Perhaps the team just mean to give each release a little subtitle, as opposed to '1.1' all by itself, 'Hammer and Anvil' denotes the RAW just-forged nature of the first release, next it must be quenched in the waters of my tears of joy, them tempered in the hot coals of completeness and bloodied for the first time on savage bugs and mine own enemies...

After months I finally return to the twc forums and I see this! Very excited!

From the hint the team gave, it seems to me that it is referring to the "hammer and anvil" tactics of heavy medieval cavalry....

Not only a Medieval tactic, actually. It's first recorded use is by Philip of Macedon back in ancient Greece, who used Companion Cavalry as the hammer, and phalangites (pikemen) as the anvil.

Edit: And no, I won't tell you why Hammer and Anvil was chosen, you'll have to bug Hross about that.

Well, yes.... But medieval is the era of the mod so I was applying it to the mod's time frame.

@mynameisowen: I think that one bug won't do it. But nice try. :-)
