Early Bohemian Units Preview

[sumskilz]

Strážci Hranic (Frontier Guards)
Light infantry who served as frontier guards. They were free men whose only lord was the duke/king himself.


Knížecí Družina (Prince's Suit)
Unlike in Western Europe, the duke’s personal suit numbered several hundred men. In the 11th century it was thousands, but by early 12th this had been reduced to "mere" hundreds. These men were essentially the predecessors of the Czech nobility.


Čeští Lučištníci (Bohemian Archers)
The Avars brought the composite reflexive bow to central Europe in 6th century which the Bohemians were quick to adopt, though on foot. Their specialty was the use of poisonous arrows; one hit by such an arrow would quickly dispatch any opponent who did not have the antidote immediately at hand.


Opěšalá Knížecí Družina (Dismounted Prince's Suit)
As with Western Knights, occasionally situations would arise when it was preferable for the Knížecí Družina to fight on foot.

As nice as ever, keep it up.

[pacco]

Nice preview mate!

[Walkman810i]

Very nice preview! +rep to all people involved

(though I see mistakes in the names but I think that's because of the special Czech letters which this forum can't probably handle)

[Goodfella]

Great.

Yeah, Resurrection gave me the correct spellings, but every time I copy and paste them, they end up different depending on where I paste them. I'll fix Čeští lučištníci; are there any others that you noticed?

[Beorn of Carrock]

Great stuff. +rep

[Mads]

Very nice indeed, anything that makes the mod come closer to release is wonderful.

The bones assignment needs to be redone and the normal map don't look that well. For the rest it looks great.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

What do you mean about the bone assignments though? They are mostly the Rusichi ones. Are you giving me some constructive criticism or just ing around?

What about the bone assignments for that camel that you forgot about?

No, I mean the other normal maps. The so called "normals". And the bone assignment is still kinda weird . And concerning the bone assignments, look at this:



Maybe I'm just too much of a perfectionist .

The camel is fine, I just can't export it .

[Recon]
