Re: is this game worse than pike and shot?

got rather disappointed due to lack of super graphics/ animation No, just the lack of decent ones. I was very disappointed that the game does not show better the units, it removes immersion. In battles, OTAN symbols would be only slightly worse. Happy the game has other things to give. I enjoy the ...

Re: Some campaign gameplay questions

For the artillery, read the zone of control portion of the manual. You should be able to use your bodyguards to block the movement of enemy lights by facing the tiles they would need to pass through to hit your artillery.

Re: English Longbowmen unarmoured?

The best were, the majority weren't, especially going forward into the 16th century. Likewise, most of them were probably not expert swordsmen. Rating them as unarmoured + swordsmen capability gets the most historical balance between them, men-at-arms and other contemporary troop types in close com...

English Longbowmen unarmoured?

Hi, This is my first post here so I thought I'd start with a bit of an introduction before getting to my question. I've been playing Pike & Shot Campaigns and Sengoku Jidai since I received both as gifts for Christmas and have been enjoying them greatly. I really appreciate how well researched t...
