Lose horses, and your morale!

Currently with the 1.2 fixes the only German foot unit that is effective on a unit v. unit basis is DFK. Because all the zweihänder units are trash at the moment with the current fixes and balances. Like I have stated before DIK can mow through an armored target given the right circumstances. But against another good knight unit the AP does not give much advantage and the lack of morale makes DIK retreat after taking enough damage, unlike every other knight unit.

On another note I am not in agreement with those wanting to take out DFK for all Catholic factions at some point. For factions like HRE those are the only sword wielding 'typical' knights beside General's bodyguard. And plus, as much as I love the idea of smashing an opponent with my mace & morningstar wielding units, I do enjoy having one sword wielding knight unit to use.

Tschüß!

Lusted's LtC solves this problem very elegantly in my opinion : as unit training buildings go up the tech ladder, older units disappear from them. For instance, the early city barracks let you train town militia, then town mil + spear mil, then only spear mil + archer mil, and later on only archer mil + pike mil (and since towns only give free upkeep to units they can train, you kinda have to move on).

By the same token, DFKs are gradually phased out of the world in favor of more modern units (plus he tweaked unit stats so that later units are actually better, which is the icing on the cake, but even without doing that, his idea would have made a lot of sense)

Sounds an elegant solution. I wonder if there is any chance of CA tweaking the main campaign along those lines with the kingdoms expansion? Especially with Lusted going to work there...

I remember STW/MI tweaked some stuff quite a bit (e.g. making castles and cavalry quicker to build/obtain).

I'll be at CA UK not CA Oz, CA Oz are the guys working on Kingdoms.

Belated congrats on the position with CA, Lusted.
