Faction thread 6: Empire

[A Norseman]

A question: Do you need any voice actors for the empire at all? You can use the HRE ones, they always refer to "the empire" anyway.

[uanime5]

The HRE faction also refers to the Kaiser and the Reich (especially on the diplomocatic screen). So it may need replacing.

The kaiser is emperor in german, And The empire have a emperor. The reich is another description of the Empire as a country

-I've noticed that imperial lancers have been created. Even them having long lances I think it would be a good idea to make pikemen: the same units but without the shield (the pikemen don't appear in the table game but they do in the pictures and stuff, they appear in the intro video I made). Another thing that could be done is making the unit use the lance with two hands and take the shield as one of the armour upgrades, that way they could act as pikemen but with shields. It might be little more difficult but the product of that work would be amazing.

i have an idea for different units for the empire.firstly about the outriders,we can have them as an upgrade for the normal pistoliers with better skills and armour.and we can have pikemen,except the normal spearmen.lastly what do you think about the steam tank(is this possible)?

[Enthes]

personally i would like it if you stuck with the fluff and only had the units for the armies which are in their army books. the pikemen could be made for mercenaries though.

[alexader]

ok Enthes,if you going that way, i will explain you,the empire have pikemen,just look more carefully in the paintings in the army books,you will notice that have pikemen,you have been confused because will call those imperial pikes <<half pikes>> it's the same thing,it is not spear,and not only tilea has pikes,the miniatures hold their pike with to hands(two handed weapon rule),and if you want more understanding,the shields that you have noticed upon the pikemen imperial model(i am talking about the miniatures)have no effect.if you want to use the shield in the combat face to gain more armour save,you have to use the swords to fight instead for the pike(or half pike if you like).how much simpler must be it.the empire regular unit except from the halberdiers is the pikemen(or the half pikemen)not the spearmen.i think i have explained you.
