William Wallace

[highlander7799]

Can't be, not tall enough....
I heard that he emerges in this game. If this is true do you know what turn or year he does?

[Croaton]

Yep

He will come only if the english bastards captures Dún Éideann aka Edinburgh.

Do not let them to siege that city

Oh and just a note... I had William Wallace as an assassin He had great skills though!

[smitty]

Seriously? William Wallace only emerges if the English have control of Edinburgh? Can somebody else confirm this...

[Schweizergarde]

Yep

He will come only if the english bastards captures Dún Éideann aka Edinburgh.

Do not let them to siege that city

Oh and just a note... I had William Wallace as an assassin He had great skills though!

How familiar are you with with Scottish Gaelic?

[war927]

The sad part is, most of the time the English provoke the William Wallace event and he doesn't even move out of Scottish territory to attack unless a human player decides to fight him. So it feels like a historically ahistorical experience as far as fighting for "FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!" goes.

[Croaton]

Well... I did not tell the whole truth. It can be that after you loose Edinburgh, then Wallace comes... but only under these conditions:

So appear after turn 55 or England attacks Scotland or Scotland weakened by any faction. Early Era is similar.

[sirfiggin]

William Wallace too strong, AI England needs a countermeasure (not me though, killed his army over three battles.....only the final battle counts, lads!, but the Scots still took edinburgh back, so WW is a suitable challenge for the player.

[Bacon!]

im sure the exact same question was asked not that long ago =/

[Maniacal]

William Wallace only left scottish territory once, because he spawned near edinburgh. I had to take the fight to him in which he was crushed.

[Old Geezer]

Is anyone familiar with Scottish Gaelic. I read on the Internet that there are now only 2k such native speakers. When the total reaches 11 even with an hundred pipers the English will be safe!

[Croaton]

Is anyone familiar with Scottish Gaelic.

It's a very hard language. I can recommend a book for you if you are deeply interested. Will not post it here since that should be a commercial and I want to avoid a ban

Send me a PM and I'll gladly to tell you the name & writer.


@ topic. Here is our hero as the latest assassin He is not so skilled though... :hmmm:

[Kolaris8472]

If Wallace dies, however, it seems like Scotland is ready and eager to move his collection of highlanders well outside of their homelands.

After I dumped a pot of boiling oil on Wallace's head as he retook Edinburgh, those leaderless units decided they'd best find a new home, and went off and conquered all of Scandinavia.

One thing that definately needs addressing, however: The units in Wallace's stack have the + attack swords. Since these were removed (either for RC submod or the entire SS, I'm not sure) it causes huge imbalance when fighting against them.

[war927]

maybe it was done on purpose to give Wallace's army a realistic lifespan in SS. I mean, a good player could wipe out any full stack of AI troops with half as many troops in the right situation. The plus sword bonus is better left on Wallace's troops so they don't die in a single battle.

[Kolaris8472]

I suppose that could be true, but I just figured it was more explainable as an oversight. Mongols don't get the + swords, not that many of their units need it.

[war927]

Well if they are going to go so far as to program in an event where William Wallace appears and perhaps saves Scotland from certain doom, it's worth giving him a few advantages.

[Fishrudder]

The + sword bonus?

Never heard of it...

[Kolaris8472]

The weapon upgrade. The gold sword bonus on the unit card, the upgrade given from the Swordsmith's Guild in vanilla? It got replaced by an experience bonus in SS because it imbalanced combat.

[Fishrudder]

Ah, that, ok, just a new word, great, now I feel stupid...

thx

[Kolaris8472]

Haha don't, it was just the first two words that came to mind when I was trying to describe it.
