Top Ten rejected units for MTW 2

[Forward Observer]

Units that you will probably not see in Medieval 2


1. The Silly Saxons—In spite of their secret weapon---the Holy Hand Grenade—they are still just too silly!—wink, wink, nudge, nudge!
2. The Burger Kings---They fight well but die way too early from clogged arteries
3. The Dukes of Earl---nothing can touch the Dukes of Earl--bom-diddy, bom-diddy-bomb--ditty-bomb--(you will only get this if you are an old fart like me)
4. The Red-necked Toothless, Booger eatin' Yahoos---from medieval--and modern Arkansas.
5. Prince Albert in the can---I know there is a joke in there somewhere, but I didn't have time to figure it out because of prank phone calls all evening.
6. The Swiss Army knifemen---very versatile unit---good at defense, plus they can open a can, pop a cork on a bottle, cut any type of paper, and pick your teeth at the same time.
7. The Knights of Columbus—Muncie chapter clown car unit---their turn out at last year’s Thanksgiving Day parade was an absolute hoot.
8. The Keebler Highlander Elves, Un-mounted---not great fighters, but their fudge dipped haggis brownies are to die for.
9. The Girls from Hooters (mounted I think)
10. The Romanian Royal Rump Rangers—could be a great unit, but it is impossible to keep them from mounting each other

Cheers

P.S. No small farm animals nor clowns were hurt while composing this post.

5. Prince Albert in the can---I know there is a joke in there somewhere, but I didn't have time to figure it out because of prank phone calls all evening.

They used that joke in Stephen King's IT. Pennywise the (dancing) Clown (Tim Curry) used that gag, something like:

"Excuse me sir, do you have Prince Albert in a can? You do? Well you'd better let the poor guy out! W'HA, W'HA, W'HA!"

It was a horror film with comical elements thrown in there, I thought it was quite funny most of the way through, probably because of Tim Curry's very good performance. The rest of the actors were pretty crap tbh, Curry stole the show

Book was better...

Book was better...

I've never read the book, although people who have read it told me that the film left a few things out / distort the plot as most films tend to do

However, the film goes on for almost 4 hours doesn't it? After its been through each characters' flashbacks in childhood, you've already done about 2 hours, bit of a marathon

This isn't to say I didn't like the film. I did. It scared me to death. Why? Because Pennywise isn't really a clown, he is a creature that is taking form of a clown, he doesn't really have feelings, he just wants to eat. SPOILERS!!!!





















In the book you find out that "It" is an alien.

Units that you will probably not see in Medieval 2
9. The Girls from Hooters (mounted I think)

That is one morale boosting unit I could live with.

You forgot the Knights Who Say Ni who can only be countered by the Shrubber specialist unit.

Oh to have the maidens of Castle Anthrax... that is a peril I can face.

[Trajanus]

haha yeah I could do with some of the maidens from castle Anthrax!

[Furious Mental]

Can't have Blackadder without Baldrick. He wouldn't do much- just say "I have a cunning plan"

lol, the biggest missed opportunity in CA's history! i can just hear the little 'ni' sound effects now. 12 man units of monks hitting themselves in the head with wooden boards and singing would also be appreciated. or maybe even the Judaean People's Front crack suicide squad.

the girls from Hooters are probably the most disappointing omission in my view.

Well, since they did include the Judean people's front as mercenaries in RTW, it definately wouldn't surprise me if we saw the Knights of Ni in MTW2.

And more 'all your base' jokes from diplomats...

Seriously? ( I don't have RTW yet)

R:TW included a unit of Judean Zealots, whose description quite plainly referred to "Life of Brain". They are rebel-only units that look pretty much like Desert infantry but with greater numbers and more offensive stats. I wasn't particularly impressed by them the few times I met them in the field, but they never really stood a chance anyway. Historically, Judea produced quite a few fierce soldiers; but during the siege of Jerusalem they seemed more concerned with fighting each other than fighting the Romans.
