Long Bill Hafts for Billmen

[rebelyell2006]

The English billmen have bothered me, just as they have bothered other gamers who have not figured out how to use them properly. But something else bothers me. I've looked through various Osprey books as well as various tabletop game models for levy and retinue billmen, and the staffs for the bills are the same length as halberd infantry staffs, and they usually have halberd heads. In M2TW (and Wikipedia), the bill staffs are impossibly short, and have simple curved heads. Who is correct? And is there a corrected game version of the bill out there?

As far as I know, there aren't any mods that will simply reskin or alter the English Billmen. Basically all they need would be to have their poles made longer - like halberdiers only with the bill-head.

If you have Kingdoms, you could get the Bellum Crucis mod - they've done a crazzzyyyy job doing reskins for all the factions. Here's a video for that mod, you can see the re-skinning with england in particular - there's some billmen in it, with shafts as long as a halberd. The skins on this mod are so good, it's making me consider getting kingdoms just so I could use the Mod =). Awesome video =

There is also the Burrek Skins - i believe that is for M2tw (no kingdoms) but you'd have to unpack your files in the program files/sega/m2tw -- and add the new files as instructed.

The bad news is, I think the download is broken.

I've been messing with the modeldb file for a long time. Those Burrek skins look awesome, and I'm sure I can incorporate the Bellum Crucis models into my gaming. Thanks.
