They say careful what you wish for, it may come true. What if the Scots are the weakest faction? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif

Actually, I'm quite happy for you Knight. Tonight's forecast - 100% chance of hangover. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

[MacGregor]

It would be hard for Scotland to be really weak, they have a good tatical position as long as you keep the English at bay you can build them into something even if they start weak.

[Gregoshi]

Hehehe, but the game is being developed by those cunning Englishmen. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Knight_Yellow]

hmmmm normaly i would say screw those cunning englishmen and im feeling normal so screw them.

the scottish should be very strong attack wise but not too strong defence wise imo.

gregoshi that forecast might just be right... *hicup*

oh and the irish get to chip in aswell so when i start im gonna go scotland ally with france and ireland then kill england thats a fine plan mes thinks.


oh and gregoshi i know that when u get it ur gonna go the scottish first only to try and understand my complete support for them arent u???

[Mr. Juice]

Kilts. How can you beat that?


Oh thats right... you can't.

[Quid]

hey...what about the Swiss...first I will conquer Liechtenstein then the world... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Quidster

[Gregoshi]

Actually, Knight, I most likely will play the Scots first. And if it anything like my MTW SP campaign, they will be the only faction I play. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif

[Hosakawa Tito]

The Lady's from Hell with bagpipes blaring, should be quite a sight http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif

[Gaius Julius]

Knight,
As some of my Scottish friends would say: If it's no Scottish it's crap http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Catiline]

i'll look forward to slaughtering the skirt wearers.

[Knight_Yellow]

Ha ha ha ha ha

C'MON the scotts

Is it to mutch to ask for an early release???

[Gregoshi]

Maybe if they stop work on the Scots they can get it out early. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

[Sir Alexander]

Yeah but I think they will be a viking faction so I probably wont play them on principle.

[Knight_Yellow]

*falls from seat*
*gets back up*
*thinks of witty responce*

The simple truth is that the Scottish ROCK

Cant wait for my first mp game cue little french guys setting up for an attack

Suddenly a great sound is heard as the HORDE appear behind their positions. then a silence..... and a charge

both sides clash with spectacular results french knights r ripped from their steeds and scottish militia r fighting for their lives.

cue slowmotion death of scottish general (like in henry V where his cousin? dies) the french feeling victory so close commit everyman to the battle when 5000 irish appear by the tree line and charge in to help their scottish allies.

the fighting is tence but the scottish will to fight grows ever more, even the wounded find the strength to pickup their swords and fight on.

cue long slow motion fly over of the battle and then in an act of sheer courage one simple peasent picks up a dead highlanders sword and slays the french King.

seeing the french lines start to waver the irish regroup and commence a series of flank attacks.

finaly after hours of fighting and many deaths the battle is concluded.......

who won i hear u say???

THE SCOTT'S

[Suppiluliumas]

Alba go bragh

[Elwe]

Personally, I am hanging out to play the Welsh One thing decides how good a people are.. the flag And nothing beats the Welsh Flag http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

But seriously.. All those silly Scots in their funny little dres.. er, kilts, should make perfect targets for Welsh bows http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

The Normans won't be invading the British Isles in 1066, they'll be trying to invade the Cymru Empire http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Cheers.

[hoom]

I thought the welsh wore kilts (of the welsh variety) too?

THE SCOTT'S
No the IRISH http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

The Scots were losing as you so beautifully put it, had it not been for the brave and noble Irish there would have been no Scots as the French would have slaughtered them

You shot yourself in the foot that time. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Knight_Yellow]

ermmm wats wrong with making up a story where ur side is loosing so that ur allies have to help out???

and if were going by the mtw the victory would have been scottish, *irish commander gets little partchment*

u have won and ur allies r grateful, control of the province remains with the scotts now go away

[kataphraktoi]

I hope these new factions aren't overpowered - just the kilts alone is enough to unhorse a cataphract though a veteran of a hundred wars against the saracen enemy has never seen s female scot mistaken for a male scot

[Gregoshi]

I think we've overkilt (overkilled) on the kilt jokes. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

That was actually a very good write up Knight. You like writing stories or have an interest in making movies?

[Husar]

That would be great, a cataphract falling off his horse because he has to laugh about a scottish man in his kilt. That would surely make the scottish unbeatable. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
But if the scots are so great, Yellow Knight, why don´t they rule the world now?

[The Marcher Lord]

Ahem THE WELSH DID NOT WEAR KILTS We left that to the northerners whose predisposition for wearing brightly coloured, and really rather itchy, SKIRTS http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif in sub-arctic conditions was a peculiarity all of their own. The Welsh just were not that daft and preferred the traditional woolly trousers/leggings http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Actually, the 9th/10th centuries were so damn cold & wet I don't think anyone was wearing anything remotely like a kilt - they are a much later innovation in Scottish dress code

[Knight_Yellow]

Actualy the welsh didnt wear kilts they wore skirts and humped sheep http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

and the modern kilt isnt scottish its english, when scotland joined britian the english redesigned the kilt to be formal.

the true kilt was a massive hvy woolen sheet wrapped around the waist and over ones shoulder weighing usualy 30-40 pounds.

plus we didnt conquer the world cos we didnt want to, imajin wat it would be like if sum english dude had a scottish accent GAH we prefer not to contaminate our gene pool thank u very mutch.

oh and gregoshi here was our first encounter i think back in the days were u where unlearned of the scottish ways:


Knight_Yellow:
Its gotta be the scotts there so ignored in single player i hate having to conquer my own country so i pay them off instead, but that makes them look cheap...
Hell the best medieval war film of all time with the exception of henry v was braveheart ok not very true to life but hot damn.
every1 has heard of the scotts and if u havent open ur eyes.

Gregoshi:
I've known a few guys named Scott. They were all nice guys.

Knight_Yellow:
Ha ha ha ha..... .
not overely funny that.
Cmon the SCOTTISH

hmmm this is a long post *awaits the barrage of welsh bows* http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

[The Marcher Lord]

........and lo a great cloud of Welsh arrows did blacken the air and sail toward the dread Scot by the name of Knight Yellow (yellow being a significant colour http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif ) and he was transfixed to the ground by his, very itchy, kilt. With no means of escape he was forced to drink foul smelling Welsh ale before being slowly grazed to death by a multitude of Welsh sheep....... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

I'll agree the Welsh flag looks pretty good but the Scottish flag aint too bad either. Im not talking about the white cross on blue background im talking about the red lion(?) on a yellow background.

[Panther]

ok lets all sing the Scottish anthem http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif
Oh flower of Scotland, where will we be.....

actually my ancestors are scottish, i talk like a scot (the highland variety http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif (damn lowlanders) ) Came over to Northern Ireland in the Ulster Plantation (most don't know what that is http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif )

anyway.U take the high road and ill take the low road.
And i'll be in scotland before YE http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

[Panther]

and Red lion???????????
the 3 lions is the english flag (bah it is crap)
the Red dragon with the green background is welsh

[Knight of the Order]

I agree with Knight, the Scottish rule http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif

[Stormer]

the trouble with scotland, is theres too many scots
quoted outta braveheart i would of said...

BONNIE SCOTLAND

[BDC]

Scotlands too wet... All the weapons should rust and the woolen kilts should soak up the water until the Scots are crushed under the weight of the water.

P.S. Scotland's a great place.

[Geoffrey_FiztRogers]

hmm I always have had a thing for scottish lasses

[ZIM!]

ummm speaking of crap that pretty much describes the value of scottish lands how could that faction be good if theyre land inst fit for a pig wallow http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/dizzy.gif where you gonna get the florins?

[Knight_Yellow]

well u see the scotts didnt fight for money they fought because if they didnt then the english would continue to rape and pilage.

plus panther he means the scottish flag witch is red and yellow with a large red lion in it signifying the lion that was kept as a pet at stirling castle.

watch braveheart its in there many times.


being scottish is great especialy on holiday theres just sumthing about wearing a kilt in florida and turning a few oh the bonnie lasses heads.
