I need some patch ?!

Hi Rythmic,

I found (in Frogbeastegg guide) that if we multiply the field 4 (support cost integer) by the unit member size and also always for 0,125 results the anual cost for sustain a full unit.

Examples:

Rus Spearmen
unit size = 100
support cost integer (field 4) = 5
then,
100 x 5 x 0,125 = 62,5 = anual cost to sustain the full unit

Druzhina Cavalry
unit size = 60
support cost integer (field 4) = 12
60 x 12 x 0,125 = 90

But I wish to ask two questions that probably will be easy for you.

First: The Englands have a initial discount of 25% to train new archers : 169 florins (the usual is 225). Where this parameter is fixed ?

Second: I understand that if the arm of a unit requires two hands, it's impossible to the soldiers keep a shield and the field 60 (melee with shield) is fixed "no". But I'm not sure what means the field 60 fixed "yes" with the field 59 (shield type) fixed "none" , like the archers. It means that archers dont' have the shield only when they are shooting bows or that they have no shields at all? The second option seems more reasonable for me, because
other missile units, like Trebizond archers has a small shield. It's useful in melee. But I think they don't use them when they are shooting bows! Is this wright?

Thanks,
Marcos Frederico

Sorry for the slow response, I went on holiday.

12 Ruler ID troop advantage, set it to the faction label to give a faction a discount.

The shield acts as a defence against both arrow fire and melee damage, the different sizes give different bonuses. What it means when it says melee with shield is that is it possible for the unit to swing it's weapon with the shield armed.
