Towton 1461

Palm Sunday, 1461. Edward, Earl of March, leads the Yorkists against the Lancastrians in the driving snow. Outnumbered, he hopes that the Duke of Norfolk's reinforcements will not arrive too late.

Human should play the Yorkist side and fog of war should switched on. It is intentional that only Fauconberge's longbowmen are drilled, this way they can act as they did historically.

Looks great, challenge already posted. Just one point so far - there are two BGs on the Lancastrian side that have their default image names as unit names. Would be great if this could be changed. Thanks for your efforts!

Thanks for spotting that one - missed it after the second edit

I think it still needs some tuning, so please let me know how it turns out for you.

Quite a few changes... Try the new & improved!

I've made a few final changes and I think this is about done. The AI seems to be able to manage its forces pretty well, though the archers rarely press home melee attacks.
