Unit you most excited about trying out

[Necromancer]

Just wanted to get a general idea of what unit in M2TW everyone wants to try out first!

Personally I'm pretty excited about those English (or dare I say it? I do... WELSH) Armored Longbowmen. Those guys look pretty nifty! Archers that can fight well in melee cirumstances and live to tell about it (according to CA's description) not to mention the fact that these guys were without question, the most skilled and deadly bowmen in Medieval Europe. Of course, I won't plan on having these guys charge... I'd be wasting their breath... especially when I could have them just simply unleash a hail of arrows on their enemy target from what... almost half a mile away!

BTW those Scots Guards look pretty cool too! You may as well call them ranged knights...jeez those guys are walking tuna cans!!!

Those elephants look pretty sweet too! (you know, the ones with the cannons... that's SO COOL... historically accurate or not...I have no idea btw... but I don't care elephants+cannons=cool-squared )

You can find the elephants here: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/...reenindex.html

Post the units that you are prying at your fingernails (as if you got dirt in them that you just can't reach, yet you continue to pry despit the agony and the sqiurting blood and puss coming out of the sides...sorry... I couldn't resist) for just to have a chance to *desperate* order them to march!!!

I'm looking forward to try the gunpowder units. The MTW1 ones sucked.

[Aether]

I'm looking forward to see knights on foot with poleaxes if there are any?

[Holger Danske]

Varangian Guards

[ghost665]

well to be honest im looking forward to most units lol, but the one that looks most impressive is the "Turks Monster Bombard" its about 10 times bigger then any other cannon lol, and will bring down constantinoples(spelling) walls in spectacular fashion lol.

[Lord Janos]

I want to check out some of France's units, but unfortunately we only have the Scot's Guard on the 3D unit page to go by, so i haven't seen many others. But that monster bombard looks awesome, i want to see that thing in action too.

I'm dying to see how heavy cavalry charges. We all know they fall apart in RTW, but now they should actually do what they are supposed to. Specifically, and on a different note, super killing units like zweihanders should be fun to watch.

[MadeManG74]

Hmm so much to choose from. Probably the Gothic Knights, and also the trebuchets and Cannons, i remember seeing them in the early movies,and ive wanted to try them ever since

[guyyug]

armoured longbowmen, ive always had a love for longbowmen.

HUZZAHHH!!!

I just wanna make a HUGE army of armoured longbows and have 'em rain hell itself upon those French knights... make another Agincourt!!! Only this time they'll actually kill the knights with their bows! Cool feature about these guys (and maybe the other archers as well, I don't know) is that they can plant stakes in front of their lines, making it near impossible for the enemy (especially their cavalry) to make it through without getting skewered. No longer need to worry about melee troops in the front, only on the flanks. This helps out a lot because now the archers can fire straight ahead instead of having to move back or stop firing because the melee line is in front.

Ya, I can't wait...

yes janissaries were at the beginning "recruited" of non-muslim origin people

they were typically slaves brought back from european conquests. apparently, they were used by the Ottomans at first to kill Muslims; something about Muslims not being able to kill other Muslims?

They were sent to turkish farms where they stayed a few years for work and to learn the turkish culture and Islam

They were usually forced to convert, or simply did so beacuse they grew up with the tradition. It doesn't say much to have children who are priorly exposed to something all their lives convert.

(Every muslim nation today did convert to Islam one day...)

as is every other Chrisitan, Jewish, Hindu, or any religion for that matter.

[KaerMorhen]

There is plenty of them - Orders Knights (mounted/dismounted); Varangian Guard; Kathapaktroi; Gothic Knights. And night battles is a must!!!

[Spart]

I just want to see those knights charging against some dirty peasants. Some kind of heavy lancers like Spain had in Medieval I? In Medieval those charges weren't really so cool
Highlanders and Longbowmen would also be nice to try.

[Prof]

I want to try out that monster bombard and the elephants with the cannons ^^

[Shaun]

I want to try out that monster bombard and the elephants with the cannons ^^

Same here, I cant wait to spam a whole army of them in a Custom battle.

Anyone know some of the units of the Danes? this is a faction i always love to play but not much has been said about their units.

Probably generic fuedal units with a viking thrown in.

[Anarius]

Hmm and I wonder how they make the vikings look this time.. Surely hope they don't give them horned helmets and furs.. :hmmm:

[Cyrus the Virus]

Longbowmen, the legendary Varanian Guards, Zweihanders and the dismounted units. + more

But to pick one: Zweihanders.
