Few questions about Magnus Ducatus Polonae.

[Casius Cherea]

Hi everyone.
I've just downloaded Chivalry week ago and play my first campaign as Magnus Ducatus Polonae (hard/hard). I must say that this mod is excellent. I played before EB which I found the best but I can see that Chiv is similar quality (it needs few finishing touches tho). It is really good and quite refreshing.

q1:
In this period Polish army was mainly cavalry based (author of Chronica Polonorum mentions it few times). Poles have (apart bodyguards) early merc knights, slav riders and skythians early in the game. Why there is almost no polish specific cavalry units (low tier especially)?

Chronica Polonorum mentions polish unit called "Pancerni" which translates to Mailed [Knights] (loricati in latin) and "Tarczownicy"/shield bearers/clipeati. First unit was chain mailed riders and other was light cavalry. Such forces without infantry forces were often raiding Bohemia or Pomerania.
I've heard that Poles were using mounted crossbowman (pretty much med2 "strzelcy"). In later period XIV\XV c. each knight supposed to have two of them as squires. Such a three was basic tactical unit called "kopia" (lance).

I have no skill in skinning but those could be nice addition to polish rooster.

q2:
Why Poles can't build feudal horse breeder? Because of that I can't build last two levels of feudum buildings. I changed edu for that but I was just wondering if that was on purpose?

No, it's not purpose, if it is so, then you have discovered a bug in the tech-tree. I'll check it soon, thanks!

The other points are related, because you shall have normally a nearly full scale feudal units recruitable (mailed cavalry and infantry).
As for the mountained crossbowmen, they would come into account earliest at the end of the 12th c. i would say. Would be nice, but the Chiv unit roster is complete full, and this unit would require a new model creating, too.

And as for cavalry, you have also Lithuanian cavalry available in certain regions, and also Prussian heavy swordsmen, and other special medium to heavy spearmen in 1-2 certain regions ... find it out. You can even hire Viking mercs, and in determined regions Sword Brethren knights.

WAIT

Do you mean you can ony build 2 feudalisation string buildings or 3? It should be 3 in any case for Poland, i remember now that i reserved certain feudal structures in this tineframe to certain factions which had the most extension of feudal structures in this timeperiod. Poland wasn't that much of a classical feudal state in this timeperiod (to max AD 1222) afaik. But i might think about this point again, especially due to the new idea, that eventually a third campaign will be developed which goes to ca. 1310 AD, as then also the Polish became more and more feudal organised.

Thank's. As for horse breeder u need only ad faction (numidia) and hidden resource poles to building description, it works fine then.

Thanks. I'm the maker of all of these codes, btw.
