    Make them available in early like AHC.

    I agree. They're a competent unit, and don't really need any stat changes to fill their proper role. Just having them around from the beginning would make the biggest difference.

    Well after thinking about this for a while I think instead of added then to early, I will give them a +1 valour bonus in Poland. That way they get a slights stat boost right off that bat.

    What you you gentlemen think?

    and that should be enough, V2 Polish Rets should able to give V0 Chivs are very good fight. Making them available in Early would also be a fair mod.

    I debated about making them available in early. I think it would make the start of my games a little to easy. Not to mention that I normally use Avar Nobles in early, and they reek havoc.

    How about making them the royal unit in Early (leaving the high and late royal units as they are in Vanilla)? My housemate has messed around with the prod files and this one of the minor changes he made. It meant they came with those bada$$ virtues like Pride, Great Warrior and Killer Instinct and command stars too. But he didn't make them buildable in Early. Which meant eventually you ended up with true Polish Jedi's who you either had to be careful with until you got to High (to retrain them) or just !!! Guess which option I chose. ;)

    Slightly increase speed and increase charge a fair amount to give them more of a flanking/light cav role ? That seems decent to me :).
    Abandon all hope.
