Mr Axalon.
I started playing the spanish and I noticed that there were no units in Navarra. I just could walk in there and it was mine. He he!

I'm not surprised by what you say re jinetes. I had noticed that javelin cavalry are rarer than hen's teeth in all Mods, and I presumed there was a reason. It's a shame but there we are. If we can't have javelins, then having Moors and Arabs much as they are is the best thing. From a realism point of view I'd hate to see these guys dominated by horse archers - that's not how they fought.

In my offshoot of redux I'm having a lot of fun trying to beat the Moors. My Spanish are going down heroically time after time, but each campaign is different and always a challenge. I love the unit balance you've achieved - good units prove their worth, but none of the main units is absurdly jedi or completely useless. So I may have fiddled around with the playing field, but I'm playing the teams much as you set them up, and the battles are some of the best I've had in several years now of playing. I'm glad to see from the forums that increasing numbers of people seem to be giving this Mod a whirl (of those of us that are left now the crowds have moved on to MTW2)
