I think he simply adds a shield not as an object but rather as a part of the soldier's hand. The downside is that the soldier has the shield all the time, even when using the bow. But if done properly it looks fine.
Visor would be pointless so open faced sallet is fine.
I like the new equipment better, the old one was really too heavy, with that much armour plus the longbow we'd have a uber unit on our hands and I really hate those. My only complaint would be the choice of coulor for the brigandine, I don't know why but blue screams French to me. I'd go with a red coulour for the brigandine or brownish, something similar to Italian heavy infantry IIRC.
Yeah, sorry guys, I don't know if I mentioned this before, but its exam time... joy.Quote:

I was thinking the whole chest region looks too bland... he looked very 'dirty peseant', I was thinking something that visually set him apart from the late middle ages troops.Quote:

Look at the horse! It has sadde, and straps at the back (not sure what these are for, but they seem to have been used in both east and west europe)

I've sent the longbow men to GPM, he might fix the buckler and other things as well.
Everything looks great! I do agree that the blue brigandine looks silly, maybe try another darker color that allows the studs to stand out more?
@GPM
while blue screams french to us now it didn't really mean a thing back then.
both blue and red cloth were used by both the french and english because they are the cheapest colours - requiring only one dyeing process.
ref - english weapons and warfare 499-1666 (cant remember the author sorry)
so dont worry sbout the colour, in fact a mix of both would be most authentic i believe.
AFAIK - red became the 'british colour' after the civil war (1645) so you dont need to worry about faction colouring ATM.
I have no problem with blue.... I just thought it looked to middle ages for a unit thats more Henry VII.
Not that it matters any more.
To protect the horse from casual blows, as in a blade would slide along the leather without damaging the horse. Of course it wouldnt protect them from an arrow, but it would work to avoid the rider wounding his own horse when swinging a sword in a fight.Quote:

apologies i should be talking to yggdrasil.
Looks good!
BTW I think if the blue or red is historically accurate we should definately use it.

The flails have the falx-animation, but you don't much notice that the moving part is stuck to the stick.
Still looking great Narayanese!
Brilliant Narayanese! As always, the units look great! This is definantly going to be a great mod!

Looking great as always!
Oh yeah, BRILLIANT!
I hate to say anything negitive but those hates need to be redone. it looks like a pizza on his head and an unapitizing one at that. Otherwise it looks fantasitic.
I'm going to shrink the hat down so it's less dominant, but the real problem is the angle at which the RTW camera sits (just above the head) makes the hat hard to see arround.Quote:

Looks great Godspetmonkey, except I think the hat should be a bit smaller and maybe a tiny bit taller. I know what look you are looking for and I think those hats may have been slightly taller, but I could be wrong. Otherwise bloody brilliant!
Narayanese the Handgunners look great! I especially love how you had them gunning Chosen Axemen down.

Some issues with the shoulders I haven't managed to fix.
Do the pikes have the right height? I estimated from a drawing that they should be ~2.2 times longer then the soldier is tall.
I've changed the colour of the pike shafts to dark brown after I took the first screenshot.
