Me as an armoured jinete in the 14thC fighting for Pedro the Just against his brother Henry of Trastamara in the Castilian War of Succession.

To quote a favourite movie of mine
Mongol General: What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Which I think was not a quote from any of the novels themselves

No it wasnt... my understanding is the original screenplay and script/storyline for CtB was actually based on Kull, another REH charactor.... they changed it last minute as they figured at least most people might know who Conan is vs Kull...massina_nz wrote:Thine enemies that run away from mestockwellpete wrote:No, no, no . . . you chaps have got the wrong end of the pike.

On a serious (or at least keep on topic) note, my favourite unit in game (at least for looks) are the heavy impact barbarian foot in the Foederate List... Nice , wish all the units in game had that definition and clarity.

English Men at Arms - they may not be the best units in the game but they are my favorite. I would have liked to have been at Agincourt with King Henry V .... on St. Crispin's Day!

I was intimating that the quote didn't come from any of REH's novels - Wikipedia comments that it came from the Secret History of the Mongols.TheGrayMouser wrote:No it wasnt... my understanding is the original screenplay and script/storyline for CtB was actually based on Kull, another REH charactor.... they changed it last minute as they figured at least most people might know who Conan is vs Kull...massina_nz wrote:<snip>

But to be back on-topic, if I can't be a bird, I would have liked to have been one of the surviving African Spearmen at Cannae.

That's more like it - so far we have an armoured Spanish ginete, an English man at arms (presumably with his bill) and a steady African spearman. Any more?

I would ride out of the gates of Valencia with my Cid!
Or jump over Lithuanian gorges with Yul Brynner err I mean Taras Bulba. Zaporo- zhtzi!!
