Chivalry 2 Remastered

[Marble Emperor]

They are meant to depict knights of the 12th century. 1100 onwards. It is my understanding that mail chausses existed from before the battle of Hastings but were commonplace by the era of the crusades.

It may have existed, but I think it was rather rare and reserved for the wealthier nobles.
Often the mesh only covered the front of the leg. I think full mail breeches became widespread for knights in the 2nd half of the 12th century or possibly the 13th century. It must also depend on the regions I imagine.


The Bayeux Tapestry has been the subject of much discussion. Personally, I rather believe that the armor were long and covered the thigh. The lower part is often represented differently, for example with intersecting straps.


My principle is to think about the evolution of armor in the game.
I generalize the mesh breeches for the end of the 12th century in SSHIP and still use the intersecting straps a lot in the first part. However, this is a personal choice, because I admit that the historical truth is necessarily debatable on this type of detail !

[Marble Emperor]

I don’t disagree. I will likely make another revision to address this. I had incorporated mail leggings to differentiate this unit from Medium Lancers which I am also working on. I also wanted to reflect their close association with byzantines, which had greater armor technology at this point than most western soldiers. But I think you’re probably right that this would be rare at this time period, and should be reserved for noble cavalry.

Coming along nice dude! I hope there will be a remaster for this game.

[Marble Emperor]

Thanks, just 3 more units to go for this faction for early period, then I will start working on Georgia.

I hope we get a remaster as well, otherwise we will always be limited by number of factions and number of units.

[sullivanclan1]

True! Screw these hardcoded limits man! Right?

One of the issues is you'll have to end the mod at the advent of gun powder appearing on the Medieval battlefield since Rome and Rome Remaster don't have the fire by rank mechanic coding Medieval 2 has.

[Marble Emperor]

I was not planning on using Rome Total War Remastered. This is being developed in anticipation of a Medieval 2 Remaster. If it never comes, I will release the units as resources for Medieval 2.

Hello,

I hope I am not breaking any forum rules with this post, but I have narrowed the scope of the project that was announced with this thread. If Medieval 2 Remastered is ever created, I will again expand my plans to work towards a full remastered Chivalry mod, but I do not know if that will ever happen.

I am posting this because I am redirecting my efforts into creating a 13th Century - Mongol invasion focused mod based on the Ain Jalut mod's map. Current working project title is Fires in the East.

I am proficient with creating unit models, but I could really use assistance with the coding and scripting, to implement and revise unit rosters and to build the world of the campaign. Please reach out if interested. Below is an image of the map I plan to work with. I will post some updates soon regarding the completed armenian roster - most of which was previewed, but has been reworked, and the Work in Progress Roman and Georgian Rosters.

To any content moderators: I still intend to release this mod as a Chivalry II Submod, although it is quite different in scope to the original Chivalry II. This is why I continue to use this forum/thread. Please let me know if anything needs to be modified and I am happy to oblige.

Thank you!

Show me in private, or let's work on discord too - search Khevsuri


Unfortunately, no one on this forum knows what Georgian medieval warriors were like. That's why they make mistakes. This requires learning. only I know, because I have been researching for many years.

[Marble Emperor]

Hello, I will link the discord for FITE below. I will happily take any input regarding unit creation into consideration. I have been consulting your thread regarding Georgian units for SSHIP to guide my work.

Marble Emperor and everyone, you have my "blessing" for any such plans, and i'm pretty certain SicilianVespers himself would approve, too.

Some recent work on upgraded armenian knights and armenian serzhanter spearmen.

It's very cool. You do it well

Cilician Armenians were equipped with weapons similar to European ones. But Caucasian and Byzantine Armenians were more different
