Mongol Unit mix

[barocca]

lets start the argument rolling shall we??

R'as is right about possible mulitple Era's in the future,
for now, for MP, I was hoping we would need only one era, with people settling what to take before battle,
"free-for-all" is still on my list of things i'd love to play.

maybe 3 era's then, sengoku, mongol and free-for-all

Samurai get Ashi-Archers (a modified mtw bif file),

EDIT -> EVENTUALLY Monks will get their own cav and infantry, they will not be as heavily armoured as the samurai, but a touch more fanatical - i have NO desire to balance a monk faction for MP, as long as they dont become a steamroller they'll eventually add some spice to the mix is all i wish.

but these guys we want to try to balance.
Mongol's, Korean's and Chinese.
In rough order of strength/morale
(note => is slightly more than, :: = is equal, :: =< slighlty less than, :: < less than)

Mongol Heavy Cavalry (lance) (no anti-cav) => NI/JHC
Mongol Light Cavalry (bow/axe) (armour piercing) => JCA & = NI (but less armour)

Yuan Imperial Heavy Cavalry (sword) = JHC (but has shield)
Yuan Imperial Horse Archers (bow) = JCA (but sightly less armour)

Yuan Imperial Guard Heavy Infantry (sword) (shield) = ND (similar attack, more armour)
Yuan Imperial Archers (bow/sword) (shield) = (GoldenHordeWarriors) (=WM ??????)

Han-Chun Medium Infantry (sword) =<ND
Han-Chun Medium Infantry (spear) =<YS
Han-Chun Crossbowmen (x-bow) = Teppo/Ashi-Xbow
Han-Chun Archers (bow) =< SA

Korean Guard (halberd) (armour piercing) (shield) = NI (less armour)
Korean Medium Infantry (spear) (shield) => YA
Korean Light Archers (bow) = Ashi Bowman (<SA <YA)

Korean Conscript Spearmen (spear) = YA
Korean Conscript Skirmishers (javelin) = no real equiv but "Ashi" quality
Korean Conscript Grenadiers (thunder bomb) = no real equiv but "Ashi" quality

Song Tribal Medium Cavalry (spear) or (sword) or (bow) + (shield)


ALSO could make Song Tribal Infantry (i have a couple of suitable unit bifs)
but see no real point except for the second Mongol Invasion in Single Player mode
