    Tommorow! Nice one. Interesting to hear about the developments for Update 2 as well.

    Thought I'd crosspost to earn some brownie points, since Econ has punished me for being awesome.

    Nice!

    ... I never noticed Scotland being that passive; in all my campaigns (except for my English one, obviously) it was always Scotland that took York and Wales, never England. Come to think of it, I've never seen AI-controlled England do anything whatsoever... The French always beat them to Rennes and they don't bother to take Bruges until the Danes have it. In my HRE campaign I went as far as taking all of western France from the French and gifting it to England, but still they were utterly passive... oh well, I guess they'll have a look into it, which is good.

    btw... Huzzah for the Unpacker!!

    Good stuff. Even better 'cause I heard today I could take a day off tomorrow 'cause there ain't much to do then. I can then test this new baby :)

    Maybe I misread the blog post, but by "stronger" two-handed units, surely he meant "fixed."

    I'm sure he did mean fixed, but that's update 2, not the first patch.

    I am sure he meant stronger, as there is nothing to be fixed in this case. 2h axemen work fine. And I am not even sure that it is a wise idea to make them stronger considering that they are in general lot cheaper than the standard sword units.
    Making 2h axemen work vs cavs will surely overpower them, no one would use anything else, and why would they if 2h axemen are cheaper then swords or spears and can beat up anything including swords, spears, cavs?

    You can use them right now, there is nothing wrong with them. I am using 2h axemen in MP and they work fine.

    There is something very wrong with them. Take a unit of any of the 2h axe troops (heavy billmen, tabardariyya, varangian guard, berdiche axemen, or such) and charge a unit of Danish scouts (probably the weakest cav unit). They'll kill a lot in the charge. Now watch the rest of the fight. They'll kill no more than 5 for the remainder of the fight, because the only figure that will actually attack is the unit commander model. The regular troops don't swing against mounted troops. Example from my Byzantine campaign: Mongol horse archers vs Varangian guard in hth combat. There was no charge, as the varangians were on the flank of troops holding a bridge and the mongols just spilled over. Mongol HAs killed 76. Varangian guard killed 0...

    I don't think he meant consistantly weaker...

    I think he means that overall the charge will be weaker but you will more consistantly be able to do full charges rather than the 10% charge thing...

    It is not really the thread for a discussion but you have to admit that the heavy cavalry charge as it is now, when done right, is a little excessively powerful. I mean you can wipe out a Spear militia unit almost to a man with single head on charge with the spear unit facing your cavalry, stationary and in good order...

    I will have to agree with you. I read it as charges being easier to carry out (less cohesion problems) but generally weaker (so we don't get any more of the Khazaks wiping out Armoured Sergeants).

    I'll be glad of a more aggressive Scotland in 1.2. The generals of my homeland just stand there. They sometimes take Inverness or try for Dublin but otherwise just hang out outside Edinburgh. Maybe there's a brothel out there and they're having too much fun for 200 years!

    Looks like the 2h bug will be fixed in 1.2 as well if "stronger 2-handed axe men and billmen" is anything to go by.

    Can't wait for tomorrow. Finally damn merchants will work properly.

    woo-hoo! I'm pretty sure Santa has the game all tucked away in his sack for me so, you guys be sure to give the patch a good and thorough shakedown so it's ready for me to use come Christmas.
