New Unit at the com: Armoured Swordsmen

[Furious Mental]

"This is where CA's argument that perfect historical accuracy would harm gameplay goes out the window. Instead of saying "he can't afford a horse", why can't they tell the truth, that "he chose to dismount". In what way would writing that detract from gameplay? After the incredible amounts of effort that must have went into those graphics and all the other features, why can't they just do a little bit of research to make the game that big bit better by making it historically accurate?"

Why do you even care? It's just a unit description. But I think the answer to the question is pretty clear. As far as I know M2TW will not give the player the option to dismount cavalrymen- instead you get knights on horses and blokes who don't have horses. If the unit was described as a dismounted knight it would draw attention to the omission of the gameplay feature. No doubt CA considers it is better to get criticism for inaccurate unit descriptions than for a gameplay flaw.
