Just go into custom battle and have scotland as one of the factions. You can see all of its unit in the unit selection screen

I'm assuming he doesn't have the game. Don't bother though - Scotland is probably the worst faction in the game. Terrible cavalry, mediocre infantry, and no good ranged units. The perks seem nonexistent!

hahahaha you dont need cavalry to win a battle you just have to be flexible and strategic, if you arent good with pikes and uber early inf and multi purpose archers then i can understand the lack of affection towards the scots

yea, scots are more of the traditional army kind heavy on inf and archers with limited cav support

llewellyn summed things up perfectly. If your willing to micro-managed your pikes or you use a Pike fix then the Scottish pikes are the deadliest infantry in the game virtually. A few spear wall capable Halberd unit beat them one on one but thats it.

Likewise, if you get a good 2-hander fix it should re-balance all 2-handers (including the unbugged Highland Nobles), so as to make the various unbugged 2-handers worth their price compared to the fixed 2-handers and other units. If you get a fix or mod that does than then you now have one of the best of the cheap 2-handers available, giving you ferocious infantry melee power, and at an early stage.

Likewise, even before Highland Nobles you can get Highlanders who are excellent melee infantry as well. Later on Noble Highland Archers can take over their role and are even more deadly having a missile weapon and better missile resistance as well as excellent melee abilities, their bow is simply a secondary weapon to be used against the enemy as they close with your battle lines.

This is all backed up by strong light Cav and adequete spear militia (the light Cav can make withdrawing heavy Cav from the spear militia suicidal as the light Cav will run the heavy Cav down), in addition they have perfectly adequate medium Cav in the form of Mailed Knights for actually pinning the enemy Heavy Cav in place for your spear militia and Border horse to attack. They back this up with EXCELLENT Sword and Shield infantry in the form of Noble Swordsmen who can cut a swath through massive amounts of lesser troops if necessary.

I love the Scots!

Highlanders, Highland Nobles, Highland Noble Archers, Border Horses, Noble Pikemen, Noble Swordsmen, what's not to like?
