Thread: Wales?

  1. #1

    Default Wales?

    As this is starting in the fifteenth century, maybe Wales should be added to the faction list? In 1400, a major rebellion went underway (led by Owain Glyndŵr) and by 1404, he had been crowned the Prince of Wales by his own people. The rebellion later fizzled out but for the first decade or so of the century, the Welsh were seen as one of England's single greatest threats.

    So, would it be possible for Wales to be included as a faction or, at least, to start off as powerful rebels?

    Ah, sorry, thought it was 1400.

    Apologies.

    It may be a good idea to make a unit e.g. Welsh Longbowmen, recruitable in Wales by England, because most of the longbowmen were welsh in the english army, e.g. at Agincourt

    In way for the Celtic connection have you made Cornish units recruitable?

    "They make use of light arms, which do not impede their agility, small coats of mail, bundles of arrows, and long lances, helmets and shields, and more rarely greaves plated with iron. The higher class go to battle mounted on swift and generous steeds, which their country produces; but the greater part of the people fight on foot, on account of the marshy nature and unevenness of the soil. The horsemen, as their situation or occasion requires, willingly serve as infantry, in attacking or retreating; and they either walk bare-footed, or make use of high shoes, roughly constructed with untanned leather. In time of peace, the young men, by penetrating the deep recesses of the woods, and climbing the tops of mountains, learn by practice to endure fatigue through day and night."
