Dwarf Cammels

[Old Geezer]

How can those miniature cammels frighten horses? I just noticed for the first time when my Hospitalers charged into a cammel unit during an assault on a fortress that the cammels are puny. Their riders are at eye level with the knights. This is some serious silliness. Has no one at CA ever seen a cammel? Or a real-life picture of one? Don't they have no stinking cammels in England?

you are right ive seen camels before and they do tower over horses

Another oddity is the absence of stirrups. Now when I was studying history back in the past century we were taught that it was the stirrup that made it possible to have effective heavy cavalry (cataphracts and knights). They also make it a lot easier to be a cowboy - of which I have no personal knowledge since being partly of Scottish ancestry I dinna trrrust the costly beasts.

[TheTrueGreek]

it is the stirrup that enabled the use of heavy cavalry, as if they charged without the stirrup they would be thrown of the horse and most likely kill themselves, but it doesnt matter for CA didnt want to be historicaly accurate, just make a good game
