    Default Unique units

    Does anybody know if there are unique units for certain provinces? I am a big fan of the irish and i know it is too much to ask to have them included as a separate faction but some unique units (similar to those that were in MTW) would be nice.

    I know that there are Gallowgases in the game(a guy at .com already has the game due to a mistake at the company he pre-ordered from. But i do not know if any faction can recruit them. Im guessing most province specific troops will be in as mercs.

    Sounds good, though i'll probably add in a few of my own for good measure . I think i'll be the Scotland for my first campaign. A scottish and irish army would make my day.

    You could see Gallowglasses at the end of one of the trailers IIRC. They look a bit like Highland Nobles but with two-handed axes instead of greatswords. Kerns and Hobilars will probably be back as well. I'm looking forward to seeing Gallows again because in MTW they were suprisingly good, actually if fully upgraded among the best units in the game, especially considering their cost. Has it been confirmed that there are only mercenaries? Because that would be a small disappointed, I was hoping that units like them should be AoR style province-specific things.

    I saw in the Venice faction page that their strengths are 'good colonial units', does this mean that the venice province would provide good xbow units and crete some createan archers like in RTW?
