Wooden stakes

[Blakdust]

I'm playing as England (R) at the moment an none of my Longbows can deploy stakes I looked in Export_descr_units an it say's they have stakes but they don't anyone know how I can fix it? I could really use those stakes to protect my guns an archers from those masses of french cav

Help meh! thanks

Good question. I'll be watching this thread for the answer! I've never been able to lay stakes in any M2TW version...vanilla or mod. Was wondering how this was done? Sometimes, I'm a bit hasty in getting started with battles, so I might have overlooked the capability during unit set-up on the battle map--but I've also checked for that, too, and have not found it.

I had the same issues while playing with England and posted the same question once but never really got an answer on that...those stakes would make life a lot easier...

Stakes in vanilla MIITW may be deployed during deployment phase, i.e. before pressing "start battle".

I don't know about this mod, as I'm mostly playing with eastern factions, but including stakes in the mod would be a nice touch!

the stakes are is the
EDU file :

attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, can_withdraw, , very_hardy ;stakes, stakes

But i don't see them either (Off course in the deployment)
A bug ?

Not a bug, they are disabled. If you want to enable them, then change:

attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, can_withdraw, , very_hardy ;stakes, stakes

to

attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, can_withdraw, very_hardy, stakes, stakes

...while i'm not sure why the stakes is twice. I guess that doesn't matter anything.

If enabled you must see then an active icon in the battle mode, besides the usual formation/movement icons.

Dam I hope theres a fix for this

I don't play with england because of this....seriously, the cavalry and infantry isn't outstanding, and the only archer that can actually make any damage against dism. feudal knights (in vanilla) were the sherwood guys. In SV I don't even know.

England rocks English knights are fairly outstanding mounted an dismounted there infantry is nice an cavalry they got English Knights an Hobliars what more you want all they really lack is good spear/pikes you can even get turkopoles from the order house that makes em really imba used to break up formations an slow there advance under the mericless rain of 3ft armour piecing arrow shafts..

England rocks an only could I play them again for the 50th time with such an awesome mod

ohh come on...armoured swords are good infantry but they aren't the best...and their cavalry is no match to france,o HRE or some other cavalry-based ffaction. They got no mounted missiles and their longbows are just useless against anything better than feudal milites with armour upgrade. I like them a lot also, but that doesn't mean they are the best.

[Blakdust]

Dismounted Knights have polearms, they have mounted missles from the order house "Turkopoles"
an yes HRE an france have better cav an thats why I need them bloody stakes which I have now
HRE is prolly the best faction in the game an France is up there to
