Now all we need is to make european cavalry (dont know the proper term) and we can have a beautiful pike & shot army!

Basicly we need the riders in 3q plate, armed with flintlock pistols & sabres/Lances & sabres.
When i get my compyter back im making one of those ASAP, so i can have reiter style horsemen ridding about, and winged hussar style cavalry smashing squares!

The interesting thing is that it seems as if sengoku period warfare was not too far away from pike & shot warfare either, superfluous to mention that it would have looked entierly different from what we can see in the game. This thread provides some interesting information (watch out for Shos' posts in special). I though you could be interested:

Also, we can give the gunner unit the pike square ability, if nothing has changed since empire mechanically they will be able to form the square and shoot from all sides. I did this in Empire. I'll dig up a screenshot of the result:

heres a steam screenshot of my 17th century warfare mod I was working on a while ago: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/57...FF646B3393771/

I was able to make the rifle units go into square formation just like the pikes, so they couldnt get flanked. only bug was that their weapons would dissapear sometimes while reloading.

Uhh me likey.

Have never heard of this mod, is it any good? does it feel accurate and polished?

Have been looking for a decent XVI-XVIIth centuries european warfare game forever.
