Crusader armies for sure.

I can say generally that do not be afraid to charge the enemy if you have good impact odds, even if you fall back afterward. I've been doing that against the English with Norman knights in the Battle of Hastings and every once in a while you disrupt the select fyrd with little hurt to yourself. I h...

This is the typical battle tactic of that time.You can try that.Remember don't let your infantry out of steps with your knights,they need to support the knights in close combat or follow when the knights break through the enemy line. Can you provide the source of these images, please? From a book n...

Perhaps one day we will move further east.
Did that means Sengoku Jidai 2?
No, it meant Ancient/Medieval Far East FOG2. But don't hold your breath, nothing is planned as yet.

Thanks for told me that anyway!!!

Then maybe use the Bandon flag instead,since the Leo VI's time.
What could be on the bandon flag then? Still we need a symbol on it.

And please let's not have any grief about the Byzantine banner ;) We know it is a Palaiologan flag and dates to the very end of this era, but we had to have one flag for Byzantines, and this is the best known, and will be (mostly) authentic for the Central Byzantine state from 1260 to the fall of C...

It just a problem between lucky and unlucky.You know,luck is also one of the thing you need to win the battle too.

Thanks Thanks for the quick reply mister.May I ask could you fix the light/raw crossbowmen's models to let them carry crossbows instead of swords in the future?Or there's already have a plan for that? We have no plans to do that currently. The animator's time is limited and we have to prioritise. U...

I played as per-conquest English in the earlier but I found a little bug.When the huscarls mounted they were with swords,that was right,but when let them dismounted their swords will be missed.Same for the massed foot huscarl unit.It's really wired especially when you saw their models were with the ...

Noob question (1) : why is there no light crossbowmen in say the French 1050-1154 while there are some in the French 888-1049 ? They weren"t used as skirmishers anymore at that time ? Likewise with the Bretons. ____ (1) there is always an interesting answer. Wired to me too,maybe should ask Mr.R.B....

Dux Limitis

Thanks very much for this interesting information !!! If I understand it correctly from your pics above, about the order of battle at Poitiers, F are cavalry, so once F charged, the crossbowmen acted like light crossbowmen : shoot then evade when charged. You can replicate this tactic with light cr...

What are the crusader's battle array ? How the French placed their crossbowmen at Poitiers ? The first one is how the French placed their crossbowmen(D) at Poitiers.Second one is crusader's battle array. Thanks very much for this interesting information !!!

Sorry I was unclear. I meant "next to a friendly infantry, one square behind" that way : ( empty ) infantry infantry Crossbow Is that historical?I saw many folks used that in the multiplayer mode since the FoG2 ancients. ZoC2 (as we are talking about friendly ZoC2 protecting our (cross)bowmen) can ...

Massed ones ? imho protected by something if possible as they won't evade unlike light ones, depending on what is available/which enemy is in front of them : - on hill behind and above friendly infantry - one hex behind friendly infantry - in rough/difficult terrains - ??? Yep,but (...) 2.They can'...
