Faris

[Leet Eriksson]

I wanna mod the faris cavalry,but whats pissing me is balancing them for a more challenging game in SP.now i'll set the cost to 425 can anyone suggest stats that would be worth the price?i know they were'nt really good chargers but in melee they are superb.

also i modded the arab infantry to be like the byz inf but with less armor(4).

Don't know much about Faris, historically.

I'd imagine them to have better melee than say, Templars, but worse charge. I think this would make them more accurate.

Did they use fast horses ? If so their speed should be upped a notch.

well here goes my faris stats:

Original Faris:Charge(4),Attack(3),Defence(2),Armour(4),Morale(4)

Changed Faris:Charge(2),Attack(5),Defence(3),Armour(4),Morale(4)

I tried to find as much info on them in the medieval ages and theres barely anything on them(most of them were around the 8th and 9th centuries not 11th and 12th http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif),not much changes but i hope they are much more useful now http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

In the medieval time i think the faris was just a shadow of its former glory so the attack was reduced to 5,historically not much faris was used in the medieval ages becuase the kinana arabs were almost extinct who were very exceptional horse riders and fighters.I will go try them for a few turns and see if they are better now http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

How is this reducing ? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

He meant charge, I think.

He still didn't reduce it to 5. But I quess you are right, he probably pressed 5 instead of 2 on the num pad.

sorry fixed http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif charge is now at 2.

Okeee i found out something,Almohad Urban Militia stats are almost identical to the byz inf,except they are a peasant unit.I made them a crap unit(like arab inf)and made the arab infantry like the Byz inf,except the Arab infantry cost is now at 175,Almo militia at 125.
