i cant see all the new units

[DrwHem]

i noticed on the description it said u added units to all the factions and i saw some venetian units that i cant find in the game. the s.swordsmen and d.mailed knights are there but i dont see anything else new and it also looked like u removed the monster ribaults and replaced them with mercenary monster ribaults.

How are you trying to find these new units? In the custom battles section? They are there, believe me, I've been using loads of new units in my battles - admittedly most are mercs though.

I don't know why there are so many new merc units. Honestly, i never use mercs (only when its REALLY nescessery).

More specific nation units would be fun, to seperate each faction more from the other.

Just my opinion though...

[Phil Stanbridge]

I have to agree with you - although the merc units are fun they cost a lot more than standard units and their stats aren't quite as high, so I can't really see the point of them. I would also like to see less recruitable mercs at that level, and more nation specific units. Having more choice in the type of mercenary to hire by your general would open it up a little more I feel.

Any comments from the mod makers? ^^

Based on what I've read in the forums, the intention is that in an upcoming build there will be a recruiting system that requires a lengthy assimilation process when new cities are captured before the faction's troops will be available. Therefore for a period of 10-20 years only mercs will be obtainable in some of your most hotly contested frontier provinces. It makes sense then to have a wide variety of Mercenaries available to represent expensive but readily available native troops while the supply of faction type soldiers drifts in from the distant core territories. I like the concept personally...

Doesn't matter for me, i always use a few castles to build a strong army and to build units to defend the cities. I never recruit any units in the cities itself. I'd rather lose the city and send my army to it then to spend all my money on mercs.

[Phil Stanbridge]

It does sound a good idea - much like the AOR idea in Rome Total Realism. It makes sense from a realistic point of view too. It should lengthen the game out, or at least make you seriously think about attacking that far flung settlement before you're really ready..

I believe it was mercs, then low level (town guard, spear militia, etc) for the next rung.

Phil - From what Torn says its going to be similar but different.
