    Lol, I rember those things in Aoc. That would be a cool idea though, the more units the better (as long as they are portrayed somewhat historically).

    I think it looked something like a fully closed wagon with only openings through which to fire guns and through which driver to see where he's driving. Of course they were pulled by horses.

    The thread title could mean:
    A) what units I would like to see in the next unit previews
    B) what units I hope to see implemented in the game, that might very well be left out

    I assume the answer is B...

    Vlastlela cavalry (Serbian "knights")
    Norman knights
    Almughavars
    Flemish militiamen, preferably in both pike and goedendag flavour
    Huskarles (not the odd looking axemen CA decided to name "huscarls")
    Italian knights (Italian cities didn't have "Gothic" knights, they used "Milan" style armour")

    One that I have mixed feelings about is the Hashisin unit from MTW. They should have just been assasins, but in the game they essentially were battlefield ninjas. If they're in they should be named "Fedayhin" or something similar.

    Like Kralizec said, Flemish militiamen or Flemish mercenaries. And Swabian Swordsman, but I think those are already in-game. At least, they were in-game in VI.

    Serbian Knights! i'd like to see them in MTW 2. They fought in Ottoman Army against Timurids at Ankara (1402) Crusaders at Nicopolis (1396). If CA add the knights to game i'll give them honor of the first charge upon my enemy!

    And off course famous Flemish mercenaries and militiaman, Timurid war elephants, Swiss polearm infantry...

    yeah they were in AoE3 i hated those nasty [edit:] chaps. big attack and big hitpoints... and mass spawning by NOOB AI... nasty combination,

    I'd like to see jannisaries but not one unit but an entire corps, that means the riflemen, the cannoneers and the heavy infantry.

    also i want to see Vikings but i guess theyre outdated... that leaves only one unit CONQUISTADORES... yeah its a name for lots of people... and no unit but it would be cool

    I'm curious as to what sort of unit a "conquistador" would be. On the subject of conquistadors, I'd like to see Mesoamerican rebels fighting in the European style, as indeed they did relatively quickly.

    This is more of what if, how do yall think the Romans would do in this time period say 1250-1350 . Use the Legion at there height say 1oo AD

    No it is not a "what if". It is 100% historically accurate. I'll even give you a quote straight from a Spanish Governor-General c. 1560: "The Indians have been allowed to have horses, mares and arquebuses and many of them know how to ride and shoot an arquebus very well" Lope Garica de Castro

    He was talking about the whole Romans arriving in Medieval times thing as a what if.
    As for your idea, it would be kinda strange to add to the tech tree - a sudden jump from clubs etc.
    Mabye mercenaries?

    Default What unit is this

    In one screen shot is shows 5 to 6 Hvy cavalry units in plate armour. there is a fortress on top of the hill with only a single casueway coming down the hill

    me i want lots of crusader units like crossbows, foot knights, mounted sergeants, spearmen, all in a specific order


    or they could just have a units uniform changed to a orders uniform when it joins a crusade. just a thought

    yeah that would be cool if they get crusader uniforms when fighting for the PoPE.

    just like todays UN troops...

    btw did Mr Annan send a crusade to libanon recently or is it just me?

    Well, I suppose they could manufacture pikes on their own, but arquebusques and metal weapons in general would have to be supplied by Europeans wouldn't they?

    i like all the ideas that have been posted.

    one i did not see and i hated in the original game was how scottish clansmen were depicted. show me some kilted warriors not bland peasant rabble.

    Sadly, the kilt is post-medieval. A belted plaid could be possible, but more likely assosiated with late medieval irishmen! The classic claymore is also barely within the time period of the game, although of course they could always carry the 14th century hand-and-a-half longswords the claymore evolved from.

    Thumbs up Re: units i'd like to see

    TERCIO!!!! Seriously... they would be awesome.. disciplined Italian Pikes combined with firearms within the formation.. I gues they could impliment them kind of like the Legionaries in R:TW when they are on fire at will... muskets firing out of the blocks of pikes when they are stationary?

    I'm new btw.. hi all :D
