I second that, very cheesy.

Get 16 of them and find a bridge with a few thousand mongols. They won't even reach you.
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

Ahaaaaaar
In a duel between ranged units do the pavise units with there large shields really have better protection against say normal archers?![]()
Yes, frontally at least. But pavises slow them down and don't help in melee. It just adds two points of armour to the unit against frontal missiles.Originally Posted by Third spearman from the left

Just found one of the old posts on this, here it is:
Ok, I never could stand the concept of using arbalest or even crossbows since I play the brits always.. the longbows always just seemed so much better cus of the speed. Anyway, for fun I made 6 crossbow units in one of my outpost towns I knew was gonna be attacked, but didn't care if fell.. I gave 2 units of feudal men at arms to guard em (was making more, but germans attacked).
So there I was.. crossbows up front against 800 someodd enemies (around 400 for me) and MAA in rear ready to charge when they got close.. enemy royal knights (20) start charging to the xbows... I cursed and ordered them to fire... waited a few sec, screaming in my mind "LOAD THE DAMN WEAPON AND FIRE!!! ARRGG!" (i'm used to longbow rapid shot).. eventually they kneeled, took aim syncronously, and then ---TWANG! Thwup thwup thwup..
"Aieiee!! Arrgg! Aahhh!" ... all 20 royal knights dead in 1 volley! AND it was a prince, their general.. it devastated their morale, although they still charged, but not after my xbows let loose a second volley, that chased 'em right off the map.. lol.
The thing is, that wouldn't have worked with my longbows cus they always miss charging cavalry (the angle is high and it lands behind them).. but since the xbows and arbalests seem to fire more or less straight, you nail 'em every time!
Becoming one with your sword means not becoming / one with your soul realizing who you already are / everything / that there is nothing to become.
