Re: Genoese Army Lists

May I ask you for a read list about the medieval Genoese army mister? The Genoese army on land seems been largely neglected by many authors, or they only focus on the crossbowmen but never mention the other parts. I am afraid I cannot recall where I got that piece of information. That is extremely ...

Re: Genoese Army Lists

Further reading indicates that they could sometimes have a higher proportion of men-at-arms, and at least sometimes armed their oarsmen.

Re: Extend the Drilled and the Undrilled traits to the Cavalry and the Medium Foot?

I think you could solve this problem in another way, just by adding the Unmaneuverable trait to (...) some cavalry(e.g. Mounted Hirdsmen/Housecarl, Early Roman/Greek Armoured Cavalry ), then remove the Unmaneuverable trait of some cavalry(e.g. Ordonnance Franch/Burgundian Men-at-Arms). Making Knigh...

Re: Extend the Drilled and the Undrilled traits to the Cavalry and the Medium Foot?

Reducing the number of troop classes with distinct Drilled and Undrilled varieties in the computer version of FOG was a deliberate design decision, and not an omission. We do not plan to add it back. It could, of course, be modded in. I think it might be solved in another way, like adding the Unman...

Re: Extend the Drilled and the Undrilled traits to the Cavalry and the Medium Foot?

As a FOG player for two years, I strongly support this idea. Trash medium foot and amateur cavalry can run around equal to those who have trained for years like they have radios or have been genetically coded, this always bothers me. You hit on the general problem with the game. It's more panzer wa...

Re: Extend the Drilled and the Undrilled traits to the Cavalry and the Medium Foot?

While agreeing that undrilled should be extended to more troop types, I think this would better be implemented via a mod, than imposed on those who disagree, whether from historical or game play perspectives. Similar things have been mod'ed with the anarchy mods already. Regards, Karvon Most of peo...

Re: Extend the Drilled and the Undrilled traits to the Cavalry and the Medium Foot?

From a gameplay perspective, medium foot and cavalry in Ancients are both pretty underpowered for various reasons. Having some unmanoeuvrable versions would make them more useless. We don't really think they are underpowered, only you in this thread came up with this conclusion, so it's unconvincin...

Re: Extend the Drilled and the Undrilled traits to the Cavalry and the Medium Foot?

Some of the medium impact foot are drilled or undrilled, I think. Medium foot already are suffering -1 modifier v heavy foot in the open so I prefer to keep them useful and dangerous with manoeuvrability. As I remember, all of the Medium Impact Foot are drilled currently in the game(e.g. Zealots, S...

Re: Extend the Drilled and the Undrilled traits to the Cavalry and the Medium Foot?

I guess it's pretty unlikely that something this major would be patched in this late in the development but I do like the idea. I wouldn't recommend unmaneuverable as a "default" for the cavalry but there are some that the trait would fit. For example, the Early Cavalry always seemed like...

Re: Extend the Drilled and the Undrilled traits to the Cavalry and the Medium Foot?

Richard is indeed a passionate designer who works and reworks and fine-tunes his game system on and on for years which makes his games apart. It also means he's already certainly considered adding this trait to FoGM and discarded it for good reasons. Have fun with the game. I hope you'll find a sol...

Re: Extend the Drilled and the Undrilled traits to the Cavalry and the Medium Foot?

that is not in developement anymore (in the sense of new features, new DLCs...) - does not seem to me that feasible. I don't think so, the game is still under developement, just like the Armour Ratings alongside the other things were overhauled a few patches before, only need a few months for the t...

Extend the Drilled and the Undrilled traits to the Cavalry and the Medium Foot?

I think the digital version should add the Drilled and the Undrilled traits to the Cavalry and the Medium Foot like the Tabletop version. I remember I had read a few discussions about the OP Medium Foot before, but I only could remember two of these topics now: https://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewt...

Re: (History) Medieval armies of Provence

Very useful information, thanks for sharing. Maybe the game should add some light archers to the appropriate French list? As we already had bidowers.

Re: Evolution Of Knight Armour

After reading several books on armour, I have come to the conclusion that 1050-1179 1180-1329 Is a better fit than the games 1050-1154 1155-1319 What do others Think I am I right or Wrong? Are you thinking in terms of the look of the models, or the armour ratings of the units? I think he means both.

You need to consider Sengoku was set in Oriental, and this mod intends to bring the P&S armies to this environment, they were not notably bad in Oriental during this period. If you could please tell me how to add it back, I'll try mod my own version for both MP&SP. Thus, things like Cossack...
