Dismounted Knights

**schulthies** · November 20, 2007, 01:13 AM

I'm sure this has been brought up in the past, but I just wanted to see if I could get an answer.

Is it possible with some coding and such to give your Cavalry the option to Dismount in the prebattle setup? Just like something similar to deploying stakes with archers. It would just be awesome to have cavalry dismount for castle sieges and things.. obviously they wouldn't be able to remount in that battle again. There are also many historical references of knights dismounting..

I don't think so. For one It would have definitely been made available as soon as possible. Secondly I believe its not possible due to the game engine not having that ability.

ah unfortunate

i remember being able to do that in MTW:1 i think.:hmmm:

Yeah, I read often in the forums, that this isn't possible because of the game engine. And I also read, that it was possible in MTW:1 (I never played it myself though).

It was totally possible in the first Medieval, and used extensively by me. I loved it and miss it so.

Is there an easy way to give spears and armor upgrades to order militia by any chance? This isn't a request more than a want to just know how.

Well, people in mods unlocking features like 'shield wall' formations, 'morale bonus' etc, what if dismount feature still in there? Although, i think mtw2 is rtw engine based, and if dismounting is unavailable in rtw... So you got idea.

Shield wall and such is easy to fix. Just add it to the sat line in your edu file.

I added it, along with more ammo to my archers to all of my SS campaigns.
