I totally agree

so i will put a pavise in the image???

the shield should be on the ground with the crossbowman aiming from behind

Basically what alexander said

Reworked your image, how is this:

Looks better, I tried to edited the picture

The top one is better.

What does everyone else think?

Looks really nice!

Its ood but the design on the shield looks bad...

Yes, I like mighty guys top one better, but if you guys like the teamcolor on shield better then I can try to rework it with a more Italian look.

Maybe his Armor or Helm?

Maybe the Shield make bigger by width... and the helmet.....

Not sure how I feel about this, but I made shield bigger with different teamcoloring.

Looks cool.

please somebody post here the stats of this unit (running tru the thread there were several approaches)

thanks!

Unless people like Balint's version better:

"Gameplay Idea: I think we need more "mercenary" units, as money couriers are still not very useful, even with disbanded knights. I think adding a mercenary ranged unit that is more powerful than other archers, but requires money couriers, could help make a mercenary/money courier strategy more effective.

Cost: 3
HP: 20
Range: 6 (affected by master archery 1 and 2)
Attack: 12 (affected by master archery 1 and 2)
Armor: 1 (affected by archer armor 1 and 2)
P. Armor: 3 (affected by archer armor 1 and 2)
Move: 3
Sight: 8
Turns until vanish: 2
money couriers add +3 to vanish time"

thanks! is it a only-castle unit?
and what about bonuses?

also please write me a longer description for the unit statsheet (flavour text)

thanks!

Hmmmm.... I think in castle or in tc, not archery range.

And it should have all bonuses (and weaknesses) that the crossbowman has. So I guess it could just be put in the archer group?

As for the descriptio, how is this?: "The Genoese crossbowman is a powerful ranged unit for its price. It has high pierce armor and attack, both of which are made more formidable by archer upgrades at the blacksmith. However, as mercenary units, they must be supplied by money couriers to pay for their service."

ok i set all things u say

Cool

THIS UNIT SHOULD BE WROTE AS implemented.

Do you mean the title, or the actual implementation of it?
