Hello , although I am new to the forum I have had some previous experience with M2:TW, since i ve already finished the game with the Spaniards on M/M...

Ok , so this is my second game, this time with the French and although I am still in the beginning I have the impression that this time my infantry gets killed quite more easily than in my first game... The worst situation of all occured with French sergeant spearmen who seem to get slaughtered by everything they encounter : they first time they got owned by muslim archers on melee (!) during the siege of Palermo I dismissed their loss as bad luck , but after playing the game a little more it seems as if a pattern is being formed here : trying to storm some other castle last night , I equipped my Sergeant spearmen with ladders and ordered them to climb up the walls and attack some poor peasants. Well it seems after all that the peasants werent that poor after all since after some time they routed my "professional" sergeant spearmen while taking minimum losses!

Is this a bug, or is it just that French early infantry sucks majorly?!


FIY , I finished the first game unpatched which i installed just before the French game...Has the game balance changed so much since ver 1.0?
