Hello EB II Team,

I was interested in knowing: although I'm a complete newbie to M2TW, are you going to make use of the "dismounted" feature for certain units? Somehow the first unit I can think of are the Cidainh, but there a lot more and that should make for a very interesting feature with the new engine!

There is no dismounted feature in M2TW. It only appeared in MTW.

hmmm, I think he means something like, "Byzantine Lancers" and "Dismounted Byzantine Lancers" as you can see in vanilla MTW II.....

But please do not incooperate this!!!!:thumbsdown:

Why not? I doubt it will happen (seeing that they didn't use it in EB1 either), but if you'd explain your reasons, your argument would be more persuasive.

But sometimes its a real pita, when you have lots of elite cav besieging a town, held by peasant spearmen and you loose many of your units because they cant dismount and slaughter those bastardos...

A pity perhaps, but it is still impossible. The M2TW "dismounted" units are dismounted from recruitment.

Empire reintroduces the ability to optionally dismount before a battle.
It even goes further with some units being able to dismount & remount during battle :beam:

Because it was prioritized down and cut.

Hmmm never knew it. Though there could be good possibilities if EB is ever ported to Empire, which might be a distant prospect.

One step at a time man. In two years, the team will still probably be working on improving EBII not on making III.

As far as I remember MTW II unit slots is endable, if the team decides to use two slots for an unit mounted and dismounted, another different unit would fell out of the game, and I love the various types of unites representet by EB

Yes, there is only 500 unit slots.
