    Default Dismounted Huscarls are Gangsta

    Pure killing machines. The HRE besieged and captured my capital in my Denmark campaign while it was undefended, so I went to take it back. Norse archers backed up by dismounted Huscarls are not to be ****ed with.

    HRE had 9 units of armoured sergeants with 3 units of crossbowmen and 2 generals bodyguard.

    I had 4 units of dismounted Huscarls, 5 units of norse archers, 2 nors cleric horsemen and 2 spearmen units.

    Huscarls cut the sergeants up like a knife through butter and the cleric horsemen destroyed both general bodyguard units.

    I didnt even have to use the spearmen.

    Now, I invade england and scottland.

    I once had a battle, where one of my Dismounted Huscarls went on what seemed like a berserkgang.
    The unit was posted on the walls, where the enemys“ siege tower came.
    After a few minutes of fighting back and forth like normal, one huscarl suddenly went on a killing spree and took down five enemy soldiers in a row. He even kept going after he was surrounded, and eventually killed two more.
    After that, he even survived long enough for the other huscarls to fight their way to him and rout the enemies - so he even survived the battle. I“ve never seen any one soldier in this game do something so exceptional - it was as if he just got mad all of a sudden and decided to kill everyone in his way - it was inspiring to watch him cut his way straight through the enemies.

    So, yeah, Huscarl - dismounted or not - are not to be played with, they“re bloody terminators when they want to!

    They need to add that feature anyway.

    In any real army there is always a few men better then the rest so they should add that into the game then they could have it set so that he becomes an officer after the battle ( The man of the hour thing you get when a captain led army wins a battle. ).

    Or they could set it so that an army unit can gain traits like generals can like there's certain units all through history that had specific traits attached to them either for doing something something amazing or something horrible so you could gain dread or chivalry for units aswell as generals.

    I am the shadow, and the smoke in your eyes I am the ghost, that hides in the night.

    We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
    we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
    we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
    we shall fight on the beaches,
    we shall fight on the landing grounds,
    we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
    we shall fight in the hills;
    we shall never surrender.

    " The dark is generous.
    Its first gift is concealment: our true faces lie in the dark beneath our skins, our true hearts remain shadowed deeper still. But the greatest concealment lies not in protecting our secret truths, but in hiding from the truths of others.
    The dark protects us from what we dare not know.
    Its second gift is comforting illusion: the ease of gentle dreams in night’s embrace, the beauty that imagination brings to what would repel in the day’s harsh light. But the greatest of its comforts is the illusion that dark is temporary: that every night brings a new day. Because it’s the day that is temporary.
    Day is the illusion.
    Its third gift is the light itself: as days are defined by the nights that divide them, as stars are defined by the infinite black through which they wheel, the dark embraces the light, and brings it forth from the center of its own self.
    With each victory of the light, it is the dark that wins.


    The dark is generous, and it is patient.
    It is the dark that seeds cruelty into justice, that drips contempt into compassion, that poisons love with grains of doubt.
    The dark can be patient, because the slightest drop of rain will cause those seeds to sprout.
    The rain will come, and the seeds will sprout, for the dark is the soil in which they grow, and it is the clouds above them, and it waits behind the star that gives them light.
    The dark’s patience is infinite.
    Eventually, even stars burn out.


    The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins.
    It always wins because it is everywhere.
    It is in the wood that burns in your hearth, and in the kettle on the fire; it is under your chair and under your table and under the sheets on your bed. Walk in the midday sun, and the dark is with you, attached to the soles of your feet.
    The brightest light casts the darkest shadow.


    The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins – but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
    Love is more than a candle.
    Love can ignite the stars."



    Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end.

    You began the war.

    I am going to end it!

    Even better in the mod I'm using where they get scare enemies trait. Combined with their attack bonus in snow, and ap weapons, you get the most awesome unit ever.
    Would be amusing to see them with Rome's warcry

    Shogun's warcry is so much more intimidating. I mean they just make samurai's into wimps imagine the effect on a Medieval peasant!

    Denmark's units are simply brutally unbeatable when it comes to quality. They field high-end elite units at a very early segment of the game, I love it.

    Dismounted huscarls will beat most other early units, except for dismounted feudal knights.
