Army Lists

[DragoonXXIV]

If you want more mythological style units then:

Wolf Guard: Infantry troops, not too good in offense or defense but lots of hitpoints and near fanatical. Covered in wolf pelts these guys hold the line while the Khanate cavalry sweeps in the sides or envelop. The idea is: 'too stubborn to quit, too stupid to die'.

Khan(ate) Guard: Sworn to defend the Khan and his empire, these heavy cavalry are shock troops. Always the first on the field, this unit will shatter weaker formations and make throw confusion in the enemy ranks, making it easier for the other Khanate troops to choose thier targets. However these guys should be hard to handle, they might charge any enemy on sight.

Demon Hunters: In these uncertain times, the Khanate has had to resort to more drastitc measures to deal with the growing reports of undead armies and demons to the North. The result was fight magic with magic, only the greatest warriors in the clans could endure the rituals and trials necessary to become a demon hunter. These tattooed riders are the fastest shock troops in the world, if only the Khanate had more of them. (The idea is sort of a hero unit for the mongols)

Obviously these suggestions are not firmly rooted in history, however the first two aren't that far off, and the last is just to add some flavor since the mongols have an encroaching horde from the north.

I believe you should not overlook the oppertunity to include a female unit within the Mongolians.
It was common place for Women (of high caste) to run the Khans on several occasions during one eara a Female ran the nation for two years!
(Thats quite impressive if you ask me!)

So as to splinter away from screeching women ala. Germans maybe you can include Women that inspire the men to great actions I.E. bolster morale!

They could be in like a cool Palanquin mouted on horses or something!

How about a Southeast Asian faction to replace the empty southeast asia region... I would suggest Khmer faction...

[alahir]

how about arbelests for the china factions

the were basicaly giant crossbowsthat shot about 10 arrows in one volley

they were from the threekingdoms time

i think they would look like a balista but wider

[alahir]

Also why not make a demon unit that can go beserk like beserkers in rtw : bi

they would be cool but would have to take about 3 turns to trai cos they would rule

The Chinese fast-firing crossbows are called "Chu ko nu". They could fire two bolts every second, and as you can see had a clip of 10-20 bolts attached to the top. In any case, if it hasn't been added to the Chinese faction's roster, it probably should be, though I do respect the fact that Hoggy might already have his hands full.

You need not worry ramareddy as the "Chu ko nu" Were in the Army list while Hoggy was creating them, so fingers crossed they have been created! I can't recall seeing them on the forum but they may well be in here somewhere!

3. Wolf handlers- Ok this is slightly pushing the limits because as far as I know there where no wolf handlers/war wolves used by the mongols. But the wolf where a important part of the mongolian mythology. I have even read somewhere that the mongolians believe that they descend from the wolves. I mean this is a mythologic mod, so why not ad a similar unit to the RTW Warhounds for the Mongolians. But instead of bloodhounds they send howling wild wolves to deal with the enemy.

Wolf Guard: Infantry troops, not too good in offense or defense but lots of hitpoints and near fanatical. Covered in wolf pelts these guys hold the line while the Khanate cavalry sweeps in the sides or envelop. The idea is: 'too stubborn to quit, too stupid to die'.

Man I'd love to see these units, they would be awesome.
