Norwegian Ski Troops?!

**Quixote07** · March 16, 2009, 04:44 PM

So I was combing through some DB files and I noticed that there was a unit labelled Norwegian Ski Troops, or Mountain Troops. Has anyone seen any more about this unit anywhere? Or is there a way to make it recruit able, for, say, Sweden?

units_to_exclusive_faction_permissions says Norway.

Sounds cool, makes you wonder what CA has in store for us next, horse-artillery on ice-skates?

wouldn't you need to make it recruitable in some building too.

Hah, I wonder if there actually is a unit modifier to increase movement speed during winter

That would be fantastic.

Norwegian Ski Troops would rock!

This is why I hate "E:TW has good roster, all units in those days were identical" people. -_-

Hope someone puts these chaps in properly, Scandinavia has only one special unit and it's a weak light cav. >_>

They don't look anything special. I put them in and they are just light infantry with I want to say the Grenadier caps (the front is much taller than light inf's) and a symbol atop them, with black gloves. No skis or anything.

Probably an unfinished model, seeing as how they didn't put it into the final game

Sigh, disappointing, they're just normal light infantry, so ski's or anything. Here's a pic:

Named them Ski Troop, easier to remember when editing the files. But it's the same troop, copied everything as it was in the files and made a new one out of it.

They probably would just have had winter movement bonuses on the campaign map in the arctic/mountain regions. Maybe they could cross inaccessible mountains regions that other troops cant.
