    Default English Civil Wars

    With the release of the coming PMTW 2.0 you will see a new campaign on the British Isles - English Civil Wars.

    Beginning

    After the battle at Marston Moor and the start of Montrose's revolt in Scotland.



    * Isle of Man will be given to the Cavaliers - the rest will stay this way.

    Factions


    Cavaliers


    Beaten at Marston Moor, but not yet broken. Montrose will distract the Scots and after the army recovers from the last defeat the roundheads will feel the full power of the Cavalier horsemen !


    Roundheads


    The north is cleared from the enemy, but he is still dangerous. Defeat him and watch out for the Scots and the Irish.


    Covenant Scots

    You have to beat the rebels and later use the fact the English are fighting each other.

    Irish Confederates

    Clear Ulster and get rid off the English invaders. Can you dare for more ?

    Ulster
    - unplayable

    Will act as a notable distraction for the Irish




    FEATURES

    Minimalised techtree.

    Recruitment tags - you have a limited number of structures to rise troops - some of those special.
    Easy and cheap to build or re-build allow rising soldiers for your cause.

    Differences in importance of a province, its wealth, support of the population to your cause and finally the factor who actually rises them - all affect the speed of recruitment and the size of the units you can get.
    This means that London acts as a real powerbase for the Roundheads where they can rise large units of infantry much quicker than Cavaliers if they ever grasp the capital.
    This means that even if the Cavaliers manage to push them to the south-east corner of England they will still have the ability to recruit large armies.


    Recruitment tags are limited to:

    - 3 for the Irish (one special),
    - 4 for the Scottish (one-two special),
    - 7 for the Cavaliers (5 special),
    - 9 for the Roundheads (2 special),

    see some of them if you like here:

    Irish



    Scottish





    Cavaliers








    Roundheads









    The system of recruitment points such as those will be used in the main europen campaign for the PMTW 2.0 - to represent nomadic nations.




    I will show some screenshots from the ECW campaign later.

    Really nice cegorach, looking forward to it.

    Will there things like historical heroes, etc? That seems a lot more important with such a limited conflict scope.

    Also what are you going to do for the timeframe? I assume the won't be over after 5 turns...

    Anyway, good luck with all aspects of P&M.

    I have never tried Pike and musket and have considered it in the past. This new addition looks pretty appealing, what a great time frame for a mod, I tip my hat to the efforts of the mod team.
    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

    Good work yet again .


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
