It was said that the Mongols brought Chinese siege engineers in their invasions westwards. Did they build or utilize siege engines that are distinctively Chinese, unique compared to Middle Eastern and Eastern Europe siege engines? Or are the engines pretty much similar, or later widely adapted in the west making them not so unusual anymore? Do anybody have sources on that?

French scots guard, 1454. Note the green white and red color scheme. Also, while some have longbows, the others use a polearm + shield combo. Maybe an idea for a second unit ?

They will need an earlier model if you wish to make them available since 1295 though.

Their pauldrons being covered in puffy stuff will probably make it easier for anyone modelling them.

Again I lament over the pauldron issue

Heh, I cannot help it, there is just something about them magnificent steel shoulder pushons;

Its a very small and late palatine unit, however I'd also love to see them in-game as they are. Appearing in Joan of Arc time-frame. But its need to create more "casual" scots mercenaries to reflect the 16 000 scot fighters used by Charles VII(cf. Jacques d'Avout, Bernard Chevalier, both serious historians).

Also welsh mercenaries were present, IIRC 20 000 exiled settled in France, providing mercenaries to the french king. However I assume that 20 000 was the total number, including children, wifes...etc, so reasonnably the welsh exiled warriors themselves would be around 2000 to 5000.

http://www.persee.fr/doc/shmes_1261-..._act_18_1_1498

Here are mentionned, p;280.

Its mentions treaties between exiled welsh princes from Gwynned House and french kings. Welsh princes were raised as pages at french court and formed specific contingents so they could commands other exiled from inferior social ranks.

Are there actually any plans to include Alania somehow?

Edit: Ah nm, its in. Time for research, I guess.

I'm currently on a trip to Washington DC and I went to the National Art Gallery and discovered this fellow nerd from WW1 era. I'll pull up some pictures from my camera of what I took from the gallery when I get back home.

I have lots of good sources for Fenix to use. I took a lot of pictures depicting 15th century Italian and German nobility portraits. Plus some goods that maybe Druzhina might appreciate.

Wait, so Osprey has actually sued people for 'copyright infringement' for posting images from their books in online forums for the purposes of historical modding of games or painting of miniatures?

If so, source please?
