LATE ERA Sneakpeak

[Lord Adherbal]

I wanted to keep the more impressive units a surprise for after the Early Era release, but now that it has been delayed until next year I lost my patience and would like to reveal some more Late Era units to the public. Enjoy:

(Models/skins by me and Dirty Peasant)

Gothic Knights

The crème de la crème of the Late Era cavalry: armoured to the teeth, riding large horses bred for war, these knights make for an almost unstoppable force.





Gothic Pikemen





Late Men at Arms





Halberdiers





Ottoman Kapikulu Sipahi





BTW I'd like to remind you all that the Org Awards nominations are still open *hint hint*

Ignorant fool! You've broken the lesser known 11th Commandment:
"Thou shall not tease us mere mortals with your mod's lovely new screenshots of units we'll not be able to get our grubby hands on for ages yet."

You'll be damned! Good stuff though. There's a clean, glossy look to all your units, which is refreshing when many mods try to make units look battle-worn and dirtied. It's a shame though - all those lovely men in their big clanky metal suits are easily defeated by a single giant magnet.

[Lentonius]

looks fantastic!

well done, its always good to see normal people making stuff that is better than what CA have done-no offence though to CA

[tutankamon]

As I have said before

[Ciaran]

Fantastic, as usual. The shields of the Men at arms look a bit small, though.

And I do agree with professorspatula, showing us all those nice units without giving us the chance to play with them is torture, so I´ll have to file a complaint at the UN.

[tutankamon]

Fantastic, as usual. The shields of the Men at arms look a bit small, though.

No they are great it's wonderfull tho see some men-at-arms with bucklers but actually they would be even greater if they had sallet helmet

[Kor Khan]

The men at arms have bucklers strapped to their arms for two reasons:

1. At this time, due to the fact that body armour offered very good protection, the need for a large shield decreased. Only small shields were frequently used, if at all.

2. More importantly: These men are supposed to wield the sword two-handed. This means that they can't carry a shield of any great size.

As for a sallet: I don't know if men-at-arms in this time period wore sallets. I always thought that it was a fifteenth century thing. Since 14th century is also late era, they're wearing the slightly earlier bascinets.

I don't know if you have thought of it but men-at-arms changed fashion in both armour and fighting style quiet drastically from 14th-15th century from something like this: (note: bascinets wasn't used without a wisor, because belive me they aren't that great for protection)

14th century




V.S.

15th century





a captain



plus in the 14th century they didn't used bucklers they used wodden shield and not two handed sword but onehanded or a hand-and-a half swords or morningstarts, warhammers etc etc...

[al'Callaendor]

very nice!

[tutankamon]

14th century man-at-arms with equipment ( don't mind the cape )

[tutankamon]

A last problem... your halbardiers look to much 14th century to be used for 15th century but all of you units are

[Geoffrey S]

The quality's certainly up to your usual standards; take your time, it's still looking fantastic!
