Previously

[Hrobatos]

there shields look eastern european.

In Tsardom timeframe Duchy of Kiev was gone long time ago and Kiev itself was passed from Mongol to Lithuanian hands. Red Ruthenia from the other hand was taken by Poles.

[DobroVece]

Nope.

A preview yesterday, and a puzzle unit today already?! I luv ya, guys!

Nope.

The man did not do his homework. The map is a bit cut off, as well as the factions list, for your guess to be correct, me friend.

The helmets seem to support his opinion concerning the Eastern European culture, though, and they're using ranged weapons... I'll go with Moldova.

[Hrobatos]

nope again, but it was nice try!

[Son of Serbia]

Hm... I'd guess again, but I guess I only get to guess once.

[Hrobatos]

yup, once per person, so game remains interesting...

[_Tartaros_]

thanks for clear this up
the unit itself don´t wear much amour...

[SerbianInfantry]

Well, based on the far right "3 tip crown" on the shield, I came to the same conclusion that it was Kievan
Hmmm are they skirmishers? They have spears as well as a sword, and their armor is fairly light.
The first shield emblem, for some reason, reminds me of Bulgaria. Have no idea why. But since Bulgaria and Walachia are already done, that rules them out. And if they are a mercinary/foreign unit of a country that isn't their origin, then there's no way to make a guess based on clues given
Iiiiiii don't know, I give up. Too little clues (or too many xD)...

[SpyrosM91]

now, that i'm thinking it, some shield patterns must change... their designs aren't much suited for this type of unit...

[Hrobatos]

you couldnt do that thinking PRIOR of my release of this picture in public?

[DobroVece]

They are Greek, and they are cavalry....
Enough clues?

[Son of Serbia]

Some kind of Trapezitae, then, or some kind of unit that evolved from them. But did you not say that you're gonna borrow the Byzies from the CBUR? Or is this an AOR unit?

Hro-bro -

[DobroVece]

Maybe you want to check the question in question again. I simply said that they are Greeks, not that they belong to Greek faction. So, again, nope.

[Hrobatos]

yup, its going to be part of Roman roster, and AOR for factions that occupy Greek ethnic lands, such as Knights of St. John etc...


as stated by spyros shields will be changed

So the final Roman roster for the first release is going to comprise some brand new units along with those from CBUR? Or are you maybe considering making a new roster yourselves? Oh, boy!

actually, there are three choices: old comenian CBUR, new comnenian CBUR & Caudillo's Romans...

if the new comnenian CBUR doesn't get released before our release, then we definitely will use Caudillo's units, which i have to say they look excellent! (and we thank him very much for his offering)... if they new CBUR is out, then we can compare the rosters, maybe even mix them to some point... don't know... we'll see when time comes...

in any case, we will also use units of our own... because there isn't everything we want in the rosters...



PS: Hro, i'm very sorry about the shields... i was caught up with my finals and stuff back then, that i din't pay too much attention to the shields... now i realised it, when i read that people are mixing it with eastern culture patterns.... i will send you new patterns... sorry...

[Son of Serbia]

Thank you, sir, for your answer. I am glad that we're gonna see some of Tsardoms team's magnificent creations among the Byzantine ranks.

And I see no reason why should the shield issue bother any of you - it's a work in progress, and what's important is that the occasionally emerging mistakes are going to be fixed.

I'm thrilled with the activity of the forum these days, btw.
