Re: New West African lists?

The Cities of Gold army list book (for Field off Glory Renaissance) covers a lot of Western African armies from 1500 onwards. I have no idea if the research in that book is up to date, or if they are at all relevant to the pre 1500 armies, but they might make a good basis for medieval army lists.

Yup, and thus if you switched out 20% HW for 20% polearms it would be a purely cosmetic change.
Which is still useful, as it will keep some people happy!

Re: A new capability: Pole Arms

Because of the original rules, cataphracts have a reduction POA cancelling ability of steady spear/pike. Other mounted Swordsmen have 0 POA vs steady pike/spearmen, but cataphracts have 50. Maybe I should change the original rules, either by removing this ability of cataphracts or giving the fully ...

Re: A new capability: Pole Arms

added a new close combat capability: Pole Arms steady Pole Arms will reduce enemy impact POA of Lancers/Knightly Lancers by 25, and melee POA of Mounted Swordsmen by 50(except cataphracts it's 25) If Armoured or better, still 100 instead of 110. The rest are the same as Heavy Weapon Heavy Weapon ha...

Re: HYW French campaign opening battle

That's basically how I got my best result. While I did use couple MAA's worth of points on crossbowmen and light foot to delay half of the enemy, I otherwise routed majority of the enemy non-spearmen units before committing to the impact exchange with the bulk of the LC Spearmen. With great luck th...

Re: HYW French campaign opening battle

There's actually one thing I don't know about the campaign mechanics: if the player losses in battle exceed ~15%, the difficulty is increased (I assume the player points are reduced) but is that increase permanent through the whole campaign or can it improve if you win future battles with less than...

Re: HYW French campaign opening battle

In my most successful attempt was a pyrrhic victory where my final losses were over 30%, a non-starter for a 10 battle campaign. I know that is the conventional wisdom, but I have never accepted it myself. I often lose a lot of units in winning the first battle, but go onto complete the campaign. I...

If I'm not mistaken, the Byzantine tetragrammatic cross emblem seems to be from a much later period than th...

Re: FOG2 Ancient Open Beta v1.6.11 - changelog

However, if these troops were described by Greeks as "hoplites", then it's not unreasonable to assume that they were equipped very similarly to Greek hoplites, who usually (always?) wore a helmet.

Re: FOG2 Ancient Open Beta v1.6.11 - changelog

I did consider reanimating the Sparabara model, but the problem would be the shield. The huge Achaemenid pavise would be totally wrong for the later period, and even though I could change it's shape with an alpha layer, it would very flat and not be dished like an Aspis/hoplon. It would also suffer ...

Here is the latest (and final) version of the TT Mod. The aim of this mod is to add more armies and units to those found in the vanilla game. It also adds many army specific textures to existing units, and distinctive banners for all armies. The main inspiration comes from the Field of Glory table t...

Re: Edit Skirmish Missions?

I've just remembered that in the Skirmish Advanced settings there is a Force Selection option. If you select ALL it will allow you to have a free selection of units, with nothing pre selected by the game. The problems with this are: 1) It doesn't work if your army has too many points, for the US Ski...

What does this variable do in the Squads.csv? SkirmishInfo Is this the priority in which the ai will field units? It seems to be.

Re: Edit Skirmish Missions?

I have just created an Army List with an open selection of US units, and it didn't work. Due to the way the game offers a selection of units, the points limit and the large number of units in the mod, it was just giving the option to buy up to 2 units of each type. So I was probably right first time...
