Well I tried something and I put king henry as avaliable mercs in the british region and it worked any one has anymore idea??
I think ill check if I can make the king availabe to recruit in custom battle and that will be much cooler then a regular generl...

[pike master]

[ieyeasu]

Special unit from the Agincourt battle, most likely.

[pike master]

i never used the unpacker but i was wondering what some of those odd units might be so can try to produce them through the cheat shell.

so far all i know about is

king henry

rufus

rocketeer elephants

gulay gorod

it would be nice to know if there are others. i dont think anyone has actually started making any list of significant size so far.
