no prob.

actually, I never played as the Italians so maybe they are only super jedi when on AI's side.

Well, the italian pavisiers actually crashed my english campaign.. Then again, i was relying heavily on the longbow + fyrdmen + norman knight combo..


And guess what, superior spears with high armor, a pavise and a tendency to hold for VERY long are capable of dealing with EACH of those units.. *sighs* It was educational, but very painful.. :P

Right now i'm working on france, hard, early.. And i'm currently crusading everybody to pieces.

Those norman knights are once again better in AI hands than in my own. Figures, i guess i've got a lot to learn...

The only awnser to Pavisiers are either the Byz guys (who are as op but more expensive) other Paviesiers or ridden archers/X-bows whatsorever.

Or you can outgeneral the Italians by so much that Pavs don't matter much anymore :D. It's not that hard in early, I think they only get one hero, and he's easily disposed of. I like to see their scary scary pavisiers led by a 0* charge my lb line lead by a 8* 7v Norman knight. hehe

true. out valor heavily and shoot em to bits before engaging would do well.

they don't break very easily if a fairly even match so use Inquisitors and the like or assasins to kill off their good gens is certainly a good tactic
