New army lists to fill the gaps in ancient Italy

As it currently stands, the game lacks a fair representation of the people that inhabited north-estearn Italy and the Alps before the first century AD. So, to fill this gap, I've come up we the following army lists. The Hernici list I made instead focuses on a (potential) new unit type. As with all ...

Re: Miscellaneous questions / requests

It keeps the settings after you have used them, until you change them or exit the game I think. This isn't the case when you finish a custom battle. After the end screen, the game drops you into another menù, forcing you to re-enter in the custom battle screen and set up again. At any rate, I found...

Re: Miscellaneous questions / requests

'Advanced Options' while setting up a scenario allows you to give each side exactly as many points as you want. It seems that I have made a fool out of myself... Speaking of options, is there a way (either in game or some coding trick) to save custom battle options (map type, battle type, etc)? As ...

Re: Miscellaneous questions / requests

Truly, if we're going to change them to Mountain Tribes, giving the list a core of medium foot unprotected axemen (to represent warriors armed with the alpine hellebardenaxt) would make for a perfect Reti/Euganei list! After all, the romans managed to subdue them only in 15 BC.

Re: Miscellaneous questions / requests

How this came about is a very complicated story! But basically the list that has the generic Irregular foot is designed only to be used in campaigns where generic mountain tribe units are needed as allies. It does not show up in the list of available armies that can be selected by the player. Think...

Re: Miscellaneous questions / requests

Zombie mod has just gone on to Medieval. Someone else took over. I think info is on FoG 2 Discord. Well, that's awkward. I've recently posted a FoGZ port for Medieval including all the army lists of Time Warp. It's on the modding subforum of this page. Now, unto more questions / requests. 1. The Oa...

Field of Glory Z rises from the grave!

The original version of FoGZ by jomni has been abandoned for quite a while (so much so that it crashes on a clean FoG2 install, since it cannot cope with combined units of footmen and archers). I ported it to FoG2 Medieval, using the Time Warp module as its foundation. So you can now play against th...

Re: Miscellaneous questions / requests

Now then, if Bembo was correct all along, it would mean that the later Venecian list should be eligible to gain mounted handgunners as a unit. Although, coming to think about it: what would happen if mounted handgunners were made to be a Light Horse unit? Surely, this will alleviate the "number...

Re: Miscellaneous questions / requests

Update: I skimmed through the Istoria Viniziana, and found many interisting anecdotes. I shall recount each finding book by book. BOOK I - During the battle of Fornovo, 400 french mounted crossbowmen fought dismounted in a mixed formation with the swiss infantry. BOOK II - 150 mounted crossbowmen we...

Re: Miscellaneous questions / requests

Many thanks! Regarding the first question, I think I tracked down the earliest secondary source used by Ian Heath. The italian wikipedia page of Camillo Vitelli recounts his innovative use of mounted hangunners ("archibugeri a cavallo", literally "arquebusiers on horseback") to d...

Plasma Bug fednet page is currently bugged?

As per title (although this could be an injoke, given the famously reliable military intelligence of the federation?) This bug is easily replicable. In essence opening a random unit info page and then opening the plasma bug info page will give the former unit statistics to the plasma bug. For exampl...

Miscellaneous questions / requests

1. I'm fairly intrigued by the "Mounted Handgunner" unit. I wasn't able to find any convincing source for their existance in this period. The only thing I was able to find are sporadic (and uncited) mentions of "petronel cavalry", usually dated to the first decade of the 16th cen...
