Anyone done an aar with just peasants?

[Yojimbo]

So i thought a while ago about attempting to finish a campaign with just peasants and making an aar of it (or rabble if i end up playing as scotland). I remember reading however that somebody already did this but i cant find it by searching. Anyone know for sure if this has been attempted it would be boring to copy somebody else.

Thanks

Do you mean a campaign in which the only units used are peasants and peasant levies? Or an AAR from the perspective of a peasant?

Peasants only would be nightmarish, first time you run into an enemy general with any sort of dread rating they would be running for the hills.

So in other words, it would be quite comical

There is an AAR just using peasants in the RTW AAR forums.

I don't know if any one has attempted it in M2TW.

Wow thanks that has inspired me to try! and yeah id have to use generals as well or they would constantly rout. Generals plain peasants. peasant archers perhaps but they would make it too easy. Possibly Ill start sometime tonight!

Any ideas on who to use? I was thinking Spain as then i have a secure position behind France for a while and i have the moors right there as a faction i can attack without the pope annoying me.

From the point of view of starting locations, Spain and Portugal are hard to beat. You might want to give this idea a dry run as Scotland though, since their peasants are a bit braver you can work out if its even feasible to do this. To be really hardcore try using HRE, but I'd suggest that would be borderline impossible.

So are you modding your generals to be peasants?

[Yojimbo]

No I'm going to go totally vanilla so its legit.

[Double A]

Good. That would be too hard without any cavalry whatsoever.

First post for it is here!

Updated this several times the latest one just now for those interested.

Using peasants is unchivalrous and unwise.

Back in your day, I bet all you used was JHI.
