1)
we didn't fix that! going to do it now
2) going to fix it
3) :hmmm:...i didn't notice...
4)i know italian crossbowmen (balestrieri) and italian heavy crossbowmen (chioggiotti, genovesi, anconetani) cost the same. It's a precise choice. If it's not what you're talking about, pleas tell me what faction and what unit, i'll work on it.For the hungarian knights, it has been already fixed.
5)we uploaded an older version of the descr_engine, so it's already been fixed. Actually, a lot of the small bugs (like backless shields)are because of that, so don't worry.
6) normans have 3 archers units(bowmen, crossbowmen, brigands), 5 cavs (knights, sergeants, mounted crossbows, scorridori and mounted brigands) and 5 infantry(militia, men at arms, spearmen, axemen, foot knights). Like other factions.
7) we won't add it, because we think techtree is fine the way it is
the byzantines didn't use crossbows, or have any super-duper distance unit, as far as i know.
for tituslabienus, jst check the "technical problems" thread, and download the bi.zip minipatch attached in the first post.
and as a general advice for you all: read the whole thread, and read the right thread too.
this problem has been reported a lot of times, and has been the first to be fixed.
