Good unit, hate the shield.

[talc]

Look nice. I really look for more faction features though.

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

Very nice unit.
Seen some screens of the Venice version of this one and the shields they have look just awesome

[Atterdag]

For a moment I thought the tittle said Genoese Sailors .. damn.. I really liked that unit.

[Titus]

Nice unit!

[Panzerfaust]

They looks really good, one of the nicest I've seen so far

The unit looks really awesome, i love the shield.

[Candelarius]

Very cool unit. And note that the in-game units don't actually have that gaudy of a uniform color, the in-game lighting really dulls them down (judging from other screen shots I've seen).

Question: Can the unit use that shield? Which, btw, is a "pavise", isn't it? It will be cool if he deploys that when reloading his weapon.

He better, thats what they were for! This is a favourite unit of mine, but I am perturbed by the lack of Arbalesters, i think they've been omited from MTW2. Those guys cut through anything...

[Lord Janos]

I love the shield as well. I'm perhaps one of the biggest fans of crossbowmen - I love the weapons. I might have to play as one of the Italian factions at some point to try these guys.

[InferiorBeing]

Hmmm... I kinda liked the shield, actually.

[LoZz]

too much green

Cool unit ,Cool unit...NOT ITS NOT. Why? Can you shot qrosbow with Steel glowes ?All units have unrealistic details ,gethered form the CA fantasys.Previous unit Cristian knight ...to small shield to long chainmail.Conkistador...dont have leg defence ,wrong helmet.
And so and so.
When you after some time see redoned units for mods you change your minds about vanilla unit coolnes.

[DeerHunter]

Stop whining. I just hate it when people go on and cry because some unit "dont have a leg defence" or "too long chainmail"...look at what CA acomplished! yeah, some of the units are fanatsied (dont think there is such a word..) but damn it, It dosent make them bad! Its not like they are carying laser guns and spaceships! so the shield is a bit smaller! BOOHOO! who gives...this game is going to rock, and the units will be cool even before mods will come out. Hell, and just because this model have gloves mean other models from the same units will have them.

I mod stuff myself.If you have seen lithuanian unit in this game and think it is good that they have leather coat and gnomish hats -cool.
What i saying is- if you gona create medieval sword model.You have chance to see how it looks in museum,in web,in books and create it
or you can create it from you head ,just impovise.Those who dont know noting about medieval sword enjoy your work and think that it is hov medieval sword looks BUT its wrong.
Create unrealistc model takes the same time in what you can create realistc sword model.
So why CA give wrong models if they can give right way model?
two types of answers.
First is if you make it with idea that they can be wrong just do how you like.
Second is if you dont actualy know what you doing and just do how you like.

ooooh shield to small its nothing ,leg defense its noting ,wrong helmet is nothing... hmm i think we need some Laser sabers for generals.
Thats be soooo cool.
