Question about heroes

[Brandy Blue]

Forget the list of so called human heroes. The real heroes are the camels!

[Gilrandir]

good "weapons" against Catholic Katanks

Catholic Katanks??? They are as rare as evil-smelling Houris or sweet-smelling Danes.
If you have Catholic Katanks in your game, perhaps you are blessed enough to have Janissary Armoured Pikemen, Italian Light Billmen or Varangian Longbows as well?

So, you mean to say camels are not humans? Hmm...

Sorry, newbie mistake. Meant some Royal or Chivalric Knights with pushed up (gold) armour and the like. Some of them still stray abroad into unhealthy climate and get killed - yes, in the realms of Camels and THAs....
btw, in vanilla MTW/VI those LithuanCav with bows enabled are a nice Cavallery for those evil smelling danes (I denie them anything beyond Royal Knights) - love them! But the idea of (to stay in the tradition of danes) Varangian Longbows is
...interesting. I´ll give them a try ;-)

@ drone: would love that - am not so good (missing some tools ´cos not running on win98se) in extracting parts of those monstrous .txt-files. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

oh yes, and "the realm of camels": in my current Norse campaign (reduxed) the saracenes brought camels as far as Lithuania - seem to spread all over the world....no place to hide, nowhere to run.. encircled by camels and no sweet smelling Houris around...the world is gonna end.... ;-)))))))

Their superiority to humans is widely recognized whereever MTW is played.

If camels are brought that far north they start to mutate turning into snow/polar camels which can be ridden only by Janissary eskimoes.

I've modded that out of my game, way too OP.

I`VE SEEN THEM!!! THEY ARE TERRIBLE!! frozen snot around their nose from spitting at their unused (and evil smelling!) riders, eyes turned blue from the frost, the teeth clattering whilst trying to bite the foe the rider is targeting them towards....Nightmare on Ice Road, serving snow-desert-death to astonished Norse warriors who believe Ragnarök has come......

Hi daigaku
You painted a fearsome picture. I wonder what the camels look like if their riders are so appalling!

[daigaku]

Hi Gilrandir,

those POLAR CAMELS sure don´t look like this friendly DROMEDAR in caravel´s post - changing realms is changing mood. Grim climate, grim character, grim warriors, grim camels...I love to play the Norse!!!

Try telling that to my infantry. Whenever these boys are on a picknick in North Africa (or the Middle East), they have camel-burgers for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So much for da camels...

[daigaku]

Hi Axalon,

this Camel-Burger thing only worked because your Inf didn´t meet those Mutated Monsters one encounters faaaar abroad their original homelands. There those merry men would have died terrible deaths - drowning in icy spit, heads split from cleaved(?) hooves, bitten the sword hand away with clattering teeth - no heroic death for a decent warrior.....but this way they are, those Camels....

grinning greetings, daigaku

[edyzmedieval]

Just give me a horde of Saharan Cavalry with a few Mamluks and I shall serve you Camel Burgers whenever you wish!

[daigaku]

Hi, edyzmedieval,

...I actually prefer Sahara Horse Steak for my Norse B@st@rds ;-)))

I thought camels beat horses. Or does it apply to catholic cavalry only?

[drone]

The "horses fear camels" penalty applies to Saharan Cav and Mamluks. Mamluk HAs or Faris would be the best way to reach your Camel Burger quota, slow, fat, and juicy targets for mounted archers. Until the camel Cataphracts show up...

[daigaku]

Hi drone,

Until the camel Cataphracts show up...

...as slow as they are, just get them roasted in their tanks trying to chase down THAs ;-))) have a good and decent (as stated prefer steaks) Camel Sundowner Special Steak...

hungry greetings daigaku

[edyzmedieval]

This thread makes me hungry. Burgers, steak, juicy...

You may turn to "Gah! Or Hello!!!" thread - it will make you thirsty as well.

...aaaah yes, a Camel Sundowner Special Steak, washed down with some Tsipouro, getting slightly "pished", and then a greek Mokka and an Egyptian cigarette ----- that´s life!!!
