[Preview] Unit Beta-Previews

**Uffz_Feuerhake** · May 15, 2011, 09:30 AM

I like these Highlanders and all other new units .....

Maybe it is a matter of taste, but please try to use more amour-details of some helmets and shields.

I think, they are too clean or perfect or without stain or without some blacksmith workings like rivettings etc.

What do you think??

Greetings

That is a very good shield texture.+rep.

thanks, in the final version maybe,
this big detail I've also noted about the helmet, well actually they're playables, maybe SV or Sputnik will be ok to re-mod it,
I can't stay so long time about this northern roster, Italia, Iberia, Balkans and Caucasus wait me

Cool, thank you.... I love your way of individual shields on the field.....

Feel free to use my other stuff .... I like to collect and rework some equipment....maybe you should create a thread: repertory and sources for what we/ I need or something it would be nice to have

FINALLY someone makes a more realistic Scottish texture!

A few thought though.

Claymores were a very late invention. the more generous starting date would be something like 1400, while even 2H longsowrd probably only existed after the middle of the 14th century at best. while Scotland generally recieved most medieval military technological innovations slower . they were the last Europeans to seriously use Chariots for example (possibly still using them in the dark ages) the reason that the image of Scots with Claymore became so ingrained was ironically in fact because they were still using them when every one else had long abandoned them.... like... in the 18th century!!!!!

11th-14th century Scots most likely fought with the typical Sword / Shield combo or Danish Axe amongst their better armed. (obviously lesser armed people went with a wide variety of spear / javelin / axe / knief / bows and possibly even slings. spear is probably the most prevelent weapon though. ) though thats easy enough to change

**VINC.XXIII** · May 15, 2011, 10:22 PM

thanks for the infos, actually those swords are not stricly claymores, its a bit shorter than the basic model.
the actual two-handed sword's animation is not adapted for a bastard sword(or the "scottish short claymore").

but probably great axes and combo(targe+sword or axe) like you said will be the norm for the early stages

**VINC.XXIII** · May 17, 2011, 03:09 PM

thanks, actually the free emplacement are rares, I can't badly add more shields(maybe one...)

**Uffz_Feuerhake** · May 18, 2011, 01:15 AM

Hello again,

really no problem...decide with your "aesthetic eye"......

So will these be in the next release or is there a way to ge them now? Im sorry, I dont really keep up with Chivalry II, but im redownloading it after quite the hiatus and am quite interested in whats new and whats coming in the future. Falling behind on things in Medieval mods is not generally forgiving.

**VINC.XXIII** · May 24, 2011, 09:55 PM

Here its more detailed about the new features

Well, I'm not actually Scottish, but I do love Scottish history and I am of Scottish ancestry from some time ago.

Amazing Rus-Bey!

The only thing I would suggest is making a fur waistcoat (possibly use the Rusichi Hunters/rus_ohotnik_sp), and the avarques with leather staps Almogaver mentioned from my 3.3 version. Or possibly just the straps?

Great job , as usual

**medievaldude** · May 30, 2011, 05:58 PM

the REAL DEAL Almogàvers have arrived

the look fantastic now time to shower the enemies

**WarlordZ** · May 30, 2011, 10:32 PM

Fantastic almogavars RB! what is their secondary weapon?

**Almogaver** · May 31, 2011, 03:49 AM

Holy

! they look great!! do they also have a coltell (big knife or shor sword) as a secondary weapon as WarlordZ also pointed out? They have it in 3.3

Can I be a bit picky? don't get mad, it's just a suggestion... Almogavars were shod with avarques (the ones in SV's model) and not boots and maybe some of them could not wear a helmet (for variety)

Nevertheless I absolutely love them!
