generic units

[L4cus]

this was supossed to be buildable at the late medieval era...(15th century)
does the "uniform" change too much?

[Gral.Sturnn]

Not really

[L4cus]

i imagined some kind of helmet and courass, similar to mounted arquebuiser...

[Gral.Sturnn]

There were very light mounted crossbowmen bit i can add more armor if you wish

[L4cus]

if it was historically correct...then, its alright

[Badnorth]

Did 15-19thc knights use crossbows in battle?

[Gral.Sturnn]

Not really

[Squirrel5555]

Knights didn't use crossbows as primary weapons, along with most heavily armoured combatants. They were generally more useful up front.

[Badnorth]

How about we make a heavy knight with a lance as primary and crossbow as a spell or transformation ability..this should be a combination of a late era knight and mounted crossbow.

However I do not know what type of knight does those..

[Badnorth]

15th Lancer upgrade - 3+ attack 5+ hp 1+ armor

[Squirrel5555]

We have lancer already, the regular late era knight(for england) and gendarme(for france) uses a lance. I don't think there were ever knights who swapped lance and crossbow mid-battle, maybe some unique case.

Also weird armour colouring, and check if it already exists before making an image.

[L4cus]

If u like cavalry, u could try hungarian hussars...or palvograd hussars...
Also we lack of units for discoveries era...

[Squirrel5555]

Other ideas we could have:

Conquistadores(mounted and dismounted for spain)
Early polish hussar
Light dragoons(needed for most factions)
Uhlans
Cossacks

But these are mostly fo4 factions we arent focusing on right now

[L4cus]

Good ideas Squirrel...
Also, u can try the officers units we were talking about on the officers post

[Gral.Sturnn]

generic archers 16th century

[L4cus]

Only england will be aviable to produce archers (longbowmen) and they already have an upgrade

[Gral.Sturnn]

Only england will be aviable to produce archers (longbowmen) and they already have an upgrade

really? well i tought they could be usefull for the italian cities

[L4cus]

Only england will be aviable to produce archers (longbowmen) and they already have an upgrade

really? well i tought they could be usefull for the italian cities

i would be ok then...though, i am not sure if we are gonna add italian cities as a faction...maybe for the future

[Maxbirykov2004]

Yes... In future... (like Aztecs, Indians...)

[Gral.Sturnn]

generic footknights 15th century

[L4cus]

looks like a two handed warhammer...is it?
thats gonna be their arm?
i tought they were going to use swords
also, if u are gonna post a image please post it on its own topic so it will be easier to find them

[Gral.Sturnn]

yeah well they are supossed to be anti infantry

[L4cus]

yeah, i will make a topic ok?
or u r gonna make it?

[Gral.Sturnn]

well it depends on what people prefer, either a sword and shield or a polehammer

[Gral.Sturnn]

rework on the english archers 15th century, based around the war of the roses

[L4cus]

Ok, it will replaxe the old one

[Gral.Sturnn]

Sappers:

Sapper will have heavy armor but very little damage their role will be to place traps and detect the enemy ones

[L4cus]

why didnt u make a new topic for this?
its a good idea

[Gral.Sturnn]

Well its meant to be generic for all factions but yeah it deserves its own topic

[L4cus]

well, it has red uniforms so i think it would fit more as british...
for generic, just grey uniforms, so i wont look from a specific faction
