For years I'm creating my own MTW2 custom battle modification with units from New Kingdom Egypt and Mycenaean Greece to 19th century colonial armies with Gatling guns.
I've found Swiss as very...
Ok, I've misunderstood you, I mean that there is no evidence of qulited armours in TGC timeframe in West/Central/North Europa (although Arabs and Bizantines used It). I refer to screenshots of...
Any evidence to support this?
Hi, crossbows in this timeframe shouldn't have stirrups, It was later (late 12th century) invention.
Probably there were two ways to spanning 10-12th century crossbows - one while staying (for...
Even in such hopeless situtaion knights were very dangerous - during battle of Stirling small group of english knights cut they way through schiltrom blocking the bridge...
Probably with no space...
Better stop their furious charge with contarati and finish with menaulati. Or cut in pieces with fearsome varangian axes... :tongue:
Hi, any progress in steppe factions? How are you going to show horsemanship introduction?
"Their spearmen used to change to swords to early..."
Strange... I've created my own modification basing on WOTW mod. To show variety on battlefield I've made EVERY spear&shield unit with secondary...
Thank God that you are so patient, my Teacher.
Yeas, I can read. I've read your Thematic army preview carefully. You've showed one of Menaulati task, but miss (inetntionally?) another. Menaulati...
Dont be rude, you are far to be skilful in ironic. If standard shield wall was enough against heavy cavalry why to introduce mevaulion armed infantry support? Why protective shields and one handed...
So do you think that they could pierce armours with one-handed thrust only thanks to large blade? Doubtful. Large blade and short, thick shaft indicate that this spear was also cutting weapon, like...
Bronist'tsi is backbone of Rus army, most numerous part of druzhina. They should be equipment typically. Check in Russian sources:

Are they menaulion spearmen? Shouldn't they hold their weapon in both hands? This was thick, heavy spear, similar to hunting spears...
And if this mod educational purpose of this mod is so...
When did steel mail appear (in world, Europe)? How widespreaded was It? And what about Its hardiness? Hardy test showed that 120 joules is enough to penetrate 15th century mail and padding (I guess...
Is It possible to program AI controled cataphracts to:
- charge against previously weakened enemy, not in begining of battle
- use wedge as default formation, without sensless and time-consuming...
Hi,
when I was creating battle system some units seemed quite difficult to calssify them to one of category. Categories refer to fighting abbilities -
attack and defence skill.
Categories:
-...
Nonetheless there are many ilustrations we can trust that they are historically accurate and detailed as Bayeux Tapestry or Maciejowski Bible (I mean costumes, heroic cuts through mails and helmets...
b257, Robert - you totally don't understand what I mean - It is 13th century image and there are (in Morgan/Maciejowski bible) many men with gambesons. You can see that at least one of this man have...
Yes, wearing or not aketons under mail in 9-11th century is inconcusive (although some facts suggest that It wasn't), but my main suggestion applies to soft armour as primary defence - lack of It in...
Why do you think that detailed illustrations aren't solid evidence? With lack of findings better will be only time machine - but It is impossible.
If we are talking about padding as primary armour...
Probably It will not be difficult - there are body models without padding, so they can be used ale for medium class soldiers not only mob.
All depends if team want mod to be accurate, or not. Medium...

There are also similar discussion on myArmoury.
Yes, in Osrpey articles I've also find some enigmatic statements...
It is true, but I rely on this little and unclear data simple cause there is lack of another - It is still better than random guesses.
It is really strange, probably about half of Han soldeirs...
The question is how powerful were 11th century crossbows.
We know from Anna Komnena description that Latin crossbow was streched during lying on back. It is time-consuming method but we know that...
What do you think about power of 11th crossbow comparing to bows? What about crossbow powerstorke - I find somewhere that early Western crossbows had longer powerstoke than later, but I still don't...
Thanks, now everything is clear.
If the system isn't finished, why don't you want to give me a chance and try my battle system? I've created universal system and tested in on private...
I think you misundarstood me, AnthoniusII - I know that units will have unique statistics.

So stats I've seen in video aren't real stats?
Hi, thanks for detailed video :)
I also like lenght of battles, but there are some things that I don't understand:
- unit without any armour have 6 armour value, unit with chainmail (armour...
It seems really strange... I'm waiting for video with whole battle, cause system seems interesting.
I like high defensive values and prolonged battles. Casualties seems far to high - it will be more historicaly accurate with more taken prisoners than casualties (relativy low morale).
Hi,
Is It possible to use your mod for testing my new battle system? I mean sharing units you've done (or at least two rosters) which I will test in custom battles.
I know that you have your own...
Srubna was located too southward for permic substrate. It is area of what you've called "Steppe Tribes" - lands of later Cimmerians. Both Fatyanovo/Abashevo were located more northward, between Kama...
If map from first page of forum is correct, there is space for Fatyanovo....
Hi, as I see there is a gap in map between Lusatian culture and Andronovo, above Steppe Tribes (Srubna culture). In fact there was Fatyanovo culture. What do you think about including this culture?...
I suggest to make units of heros (at least Homeric heros in Troyan and Mycenaean rosters). They may be few extremely skilled indyviduals fighting for their own glory (loose formation in contrast to...
