Unit descriptions

No, the early and late is just pre and post marius... Cannot be set at any time. Do not know if non roman factions even can be affected by the marius.

You're not pestering SMZ, any contribution you make is worthwhile.

I've been thinking about giving Aes Sedai units the ability to fly people around in close combat. We're always worried that Aes Sedai will become invinsible though. If we do end up doing it, Aes Sedai will have a very weak defence, so that although they can do damage in close combat, they will die easily there.

There is a simple way of making AS weak while fighting human armies. Implement oaths. It would be highly unrealistc if an AS could jut out of whim waiste an army. They still can be used against humans but need to get realy close to enemy to attack. Only shadowspavn should be attacked normaly.
And AS are to be in sort of alliance with everybody with fiew exceptions as Aiel, Amadicia.

I love the use of the word "simple" in that phrase

Welcome to the .org 4th dimension, and its good to see another WoT fan. We haven't yet found a way to implement oaths. It certainly wouldn't be simple. If we can we will, but until then, all we can do is make the White Tower faction very unaggressive.

I know what do you mean.
You are restricted by engine.

Sine I'm hevy WoT freak, I would try to give advice so that mod would be moust by the book.

I think I know one way to make this possible... although I think it could be a bit corny... You could give human units that arent dark fiends armor against AS assaults. That way it'll take them longer to be killed and thus will be at closer range when the killing is accomplished. Or as they did frequently in MTW, make the AS effective against Dark friends and normal against the other troops. Such as the crossbowman was a slaughterhouse against armored units but only average against unarmored units.
Thats really all I can think of for implementing the oaths... it'll keep the human non dark friend units alive longer, but the range attack will still be the same.

Just don't make them too weak.

Can we remove spoil tags, it has been a while since te book come out, anybody who intended to read it has read it.

**beaverprophet** · 12-02-2005, 12:27

Actually, i intend to read it, but i haven't, because i have been to busy to have time, and, also, because it's not out in the edition i'm buying the books in, at least not around here.

And, i'm sure i'm not the only one, so, i would appreciate it if you kept the spoiler tags.

**Myrddraal** · 12-03-2005, 18:04

Ditto beaverprophet. Pls keep the tags on for a while longer.

So, are there going to be units that can form a pike phalanx? I think there should be, because I believe that wetlander foot troops used it in the Battle for Cairhien.

Will Seanchan have Elephants(S'redit), Grolm, Torm and such?
Will they use To'raken and Raken in any way?

Will Aiel be able to cover as much ground on campaign map as cavalry can(or even more)?
Will Aiel throw spears before charging like legionaries do?

In Two Rivers, will there be regular peasant units for recruiting as well as Two Rivers Peasants?
Will the upkeep be higher for TR peasants than for regular ones?

I have read somewhere on this forum that if, for an example, Tear conquers Cairhien and recruit some units in it, the officers of those units will have con on their back.
Will there be other such things, like when Saldea conquers Arad Doman, will officers of cavalry units trained in Bandar Eban ride Razors?

I do have more questions, but that's it for now.
