Polish unit roster in MTW2

[ChewieTobbacca]

Also, in MTW it ended it basically with armies of the most heavily armoured troops you could possibly train. But I think that in MTW 2 at the very end of the game armies firearms and artillery will lead to reliance on fast moving infantry and cavalry with the walking (or galloping) suits of armour (e.g. Gothic Knights) reserved for delivering the decisive charge.

I agree with this - with the expanding to 1530 as the end date, it opens up more of the beginnings of early modern warfare - meaning better gun technology, and the final blows to the fully armoured knights and soldiers. More pike and gunpowder units as well as versatile units (such as Spain's sword and buckler) should make late era games in M2TW interesting...

Well I think it will be fun to play MP with the period late. You can get all sorts of unique armies. Someone comes up with a musketeer, cannon army, supported by some cav, others come with the more medieval army with more melee infantry.

And when I look at the Polish faction roster (and taking out campaign map units and art):

Crossbow Militia
General's Bodyguard
Halberd Militia
Hussars -----> also for Hungary
Lithuanian Archers
Lithuanian Cavalry
Peasants
Polish Nobles
Polish Guard
Polish Knights
Polish Retainers
Spearmen
Spear Milit
Strzelcy
Town Militia
Woodsmen
Dismounted Polish Nobles
Dismounted Polish Knights
Dismounted Lithuanian Cavalry
Arquebusiers
Hand Gunners
Merchant Cavalry Militia
Knights Hospitaller
Knights Templar
General's Bodyguard (Elite)

All the units with polish for them are unique. Town Militia might be the only unit used by most factions (and peasants obviously) Strzelcy sounds pretty unique too. And so do Lithuanian Archers and Cav. Knights Templar I think can be made by all Christian Factions, but still about atleast 10-15 unique units I think

yeah a bunch of units are cool and everything but i caught a glimpse of those prices and apparently the ones in RTW were really cheap!

[ChewieTobbacca]

They are defenitely expensive but at the same time, each city/castle will produce a lot more money esp. when one considers that by this point, most of those places aren't "primitive" anymore

[Furious Mental]

The idea is probably to make the player balance income generating cities with army generating castles, although many late game units will probably be trained in cities.
