Late campain differance ?

[hrisskar]

Hello, I was just wondering what is the differance between the late and early campain option. Also, I cannot build foot mailed knights in any city or castle even if it's fully upgraded. Can someone please tell me what the campaign date is when you can build unit's such as this and heavy knight's for England, finally I would like to know why is it that archers are totally ineffective against infantry. If i have a unit of heavy archers and pin it against heavy spear men...the spear men hardly get touched ? Please comment if im doing something wrong and or strategies for this thank you !

2) Did you read the instructions to everything you installed? Especially things like BGR?

3) Missile troops melee at either one or two quality levels lower than their shooting level. Most missile troops aren't good melee fighters.

4) To find out when a particular unit can be recruited, go to D:\SEGA\Medieval 2 Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel_6\data and check the export_descr_buildings.txt file. Find the unit there, and see what event is needed for it. Then check the descr_events file in D:\SEGA\Medieval 2 Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel_6\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign to see when the event occurs.

Spearman have shieds exactly for this purpose, to defend against a arrow or a sword/mace/axe/spear/javelin.
If you talk about melee combat, archers versus spearmans, if are not junior militia, ottoman infantry, or pesante archers, the melee battle will be lose by archers. The stats, armor and weapons are not suited to counter a spearman. In a close combat situation is a good choice to put archers to keep fire arrows. If are fire arrows at close range, the effects can be great in terms of damage and morale for enemy.
