inuit lancers(!!)...

[BeeSting]

Remember: CA never claimed their games to be "historical simulators" for the sake of entertainment value. In fact, it's for people with no historical knowledge and it has degraded itself to further insult your intelligence by tossing commonsense... for sake of fun? inuit lancers? half naked native indians marching in drilled fashion in snow? Yes, you have to be an ignoramus to not find certain things troubling.

Hey, CA, come on... Inuit lancers!??? An ARMY of Inuit lancers(!!) in the polar freeze of Northern Labrador!??? Well, I quite understand that the CA tried to depict the fact that the Inuit's were much better accustomed for the snowfields of Northern Canada, but lancers(!!)... What did they feed their horses with? Moss? Seal fat?

There are other options (to make fighting Inuits more challenging) available too:

1) give the inuits (some historically more truthful version of their armed forces) huge defense/stamina/morale bonuses IF their armies are fighting in their native lands.

2) give the outsiders (the europeans) huge defense, stamina, morale PENALTIES if they are fighting in such harsh conditions as the Arctic OR the forests of Huron, Iroqouis, etc.

3) combine #1 & #2....

But lancers(!??), CANONS(!??), savages drilled in ligning up and marching!? If modders can easily implement AOR principles and realistic ethnic flavor, why cannot CA do the same?

As to lancers: is there ANY historic evidence that native Americans used ANY horse lancers at any point in time?

Sigh...
