Thanks for the info guys.
Hey on another topic, is there a list of the XL mod unit stats available somewhere? I love all the new units that seem to be available, but I don't know where to find thier stats or descriptions.
I've just loaded this mod up and have started a High Era Expert campaign as the Scotts, I'd love to know the actual stats for the Scottish Lancers and Scottish Horsemen - or the Scottish Spearmen and Scottish Warriors for that matter!
also, some of the existign unit's stats have changed i think so I need to get my bearings so I don't get slaughtered.
I have already had one very memorable battle already though. My fledgling army of 1 spearmen, 1 xbow, 2 royal knights, 2 Scottish Warriors (really only 1.5 units thanks to revious casualties) and 2 Highland Clansmen (again partly depleted) invaded the weakly defended Mercia. The English retreated to their stronghold, and next turn the full English army, some arrived from France to break the siege.
Just under 400 Scotts prepared to face off against almost 800 English troops consisting of Spearmen, Longbows, Royal Knights and Urban Militia, most of which had Armour and/or weapon upgrades. generals were evenly matched with both nations Kings presentand equally experienced.
The english had the advantage of better missile troops and more of them, vastly superior numbers and better weapons/armour. The scotts had better shock troops, though very few of them and the advantage of terrain. The battle was brutal and tight, casualties mounting up on both sides, and attrition was starting to wear the Scott's down. Once thier inital charge had finished, the English numbers strated to tell. The turning point was when the Egnlish King joined the battle. A small group of 17 Highland Clansmen managed to break away and hit them in the flank as they were battling with the last of the beleagured Scottish Warriors. Soon after, the English King was killed and the heart went out of the english army. Spearmen and militia started to route en-masse, the remaining Scottish infantry chased them to the borders, while the royal knights chased down the Longbows and put them to the sword.
Final result was around 200 scotts killed, and around 500 English killed or captured plus the loss of their King and the back of the english army broken. Reinforcements arrived to back up the scotts, and now they rule all of Britain and Ireland.
