[MOD]Silk Road Extend:618- 1046AD

About the Banner!
After a month of delays caused by the anti-epidemic policy, I finally got my hands on the purchased resource book! It includes many of the flags used by ancient Chinese armies. I'm going to make some of them into the mod. This is definitely a challenge to my photoshop skills!

Some quick issues I noticed:

Korean Crossbowmen cost 30, though they should cost 36 like the Chinese Crossbowmen. (Both are Average Protected Crossbows)
Korean Bowmen cost 30, though they should cost 42 like the Chinese Archers (Both are Average Protected Bows)
Korean Light Archers should cost 30 instead of 24.
Their descriptions should also be changed.

The Korean foot POA seem to be affected by the number of men in the unit. I'm not sure if it'll decrease as they take casualties. Based on the description, the ones with defensive spear received their full 100 on impact, along with the 30 Heavy Weapon POA. Haven't tested to see if either of these oddities have gameplay effect.

Japanese Archers cost the same as Sparabara Foot, despite lacking their Light Spear impact.

Don't know why, but the Crossbowmen in the French and Norman list are supersized.


The new banners will be pretty cool. It'll be exciting to see the more detailed versions that'll show up in the Medieval version.

The giant crossbowman looks comical. I think I need to update the squad .Thank you for that issues!

Version 5.22 is now uploaded to the game. Apart from fixing bugs and some unreasonable poa issues, the biggest change is that I've changed the names of all the Chinese units to Chinese pinyin, just like in sengoku jidai. Hopefully this will give the mod a bit more flavour.
A medieval version is in Work and will take the timeline to 1500AD.

Thanks for all your work on this mod. I am looking forward to playing Silk Road armies in the upcoming TDC tournament!

Great job on these interesting army lists. I was nosing around them when I noticed a couple of things.

The Korean Guard Bow and the Japanese Noble bow are priced at 75pts, identical to Persian Immortals, but lack the 50% light spear that the Immortals have. They need to be slightly cheaper.

The Korean Light Horse is misspelled as 'Koran' light horse.

Hello,
Thank you for your advice. I will consider adjusting these cases in the next update.

light spear is free for infantry in the points chart so this is technically correct if you're going off of that

Really? That is interesting. I was just comparing to the almost identical Persian Immortals, never seen the points chart.
I guess light spear only offers an impact round bonus. Are defensive spear and offensive spear meant to be the same points? Given that they only potentially differ in the impact round.

Offensive costs slightly more.

Indeed. But I think it could be considered if, to reflect the distinction, a small point reduction was given to units with only bows + 50 swords and no light spears - if no other unit balance is involved.

The current Points Table gives a slight discount (-1 per 100 UnitSize) to close combat troops (ie; non missile troops) with no impact capability. Of course, these two units have bow so do not qualify for that discount.

I agree with you that it doesn't seem right.

I believe it can be downloaded from within the game, along with many other scenario and campaign mods; "To download it, click on the "Download community scenarios" button in the top left corner of the Main Menu, Epic Battles or Campaigns screen."
