Timurid Infantry

**Rilsaur** · January 20, 2010, 06:22 PM

I recently started up a Timurid campaign on MED2 Custom Campaign mod, and have been having a grand old time, strong-arming the Turks into submission and such, but while looking through the building browser, I noticed that Dismounted Heavy Lancers were not listed as being recruitable from ANY of the Timurids' recruitment buildings.
so, my question is, will I be able to field Dismounted Heavy Lancers in time? or am I forced to spam Halberd Militia, which isn't too bad of an option,but anyway, I still wanna know.

Wouldn't you be better asking the people in the forum for this MOD?

It's one of the developer mods that were released a while ago. I didn't think it had a forum. Also, It's nearly a carbon copy of vanilla MED2, with only minor changes such as army upkeep reduced, etc.

You need an Armoury, I think. The Timurids, though, can't build them, so you'll have to capture a Citadel with one.

I'm afraid you can't recruit this unit.

That's a shame. Why are they available for recruitment in Custom Battles and not in campaign?

It may be because they are Mongols with Black and Red that ride elephants.

That's basically what Timurids are...Mongols with Elephants.

Just spam Halberd Militia and Sarbadar Militia with Cavalry and Elephant support and watch the Turks fall.

I can squash the Turks at any time, But I'm trying a more "aggresive diplomatic" approach this time, instead of outright destroying them. I don't need the Dismounted Lancers that bad, they'd just be nice alternative to Halberd Militia sometimes.
