There are a couple of mods available in this forum that makes playing a female character easy and painless. With a few modifications of my own, I'm having tons of fun playing a Circassian battle maiden. Gonna have to remember to take and post a couple of screenies (I play on a Mac using bootcamp so I have to use an external program to nab em).

Morgh's Editor works for WFaS... I've successfully edited/modded troops.txt, item_kinds1.txt... all the things it can do for WB it can do for WFaS. Just one thing I've noticed while modding troops: you need to start a new game for the changes in equipment and stats to show. Don't know if this was the same in WB as I've never had the need to edit troops for that game.

Finished the Poland story line and had a lot of fun. Currently playing as my favourite faction now (the Swedes) in both WFaS and E:TW (reinstalled that just so I can pwn with Life Guards). And the Swedes do have the best outfits too; that's a plus.

Biggest change for me in no more charging into enemy lines with a horse to crouch lance everything to death. Tried that on my first game and got shot down very, very fast. Now I just dismount and line up with my soldiers and duke it out at range; going into melee only when teh enemy closes and I have to reload. Really liking the slower paced game of WFaS more than I thought I would actually.

I almost never play with infantry or cavalry; all my troops (mercs of course) are mounted marksmen with the best musket and armor you can buy. I only have them mounted for the strat map speed increase of course. At the beginning of the battle, I dismount them, take them to a high point, spread them out and have them unleash on the enemy. Even mounted enemies get hammered before they can charge my line... As someone said, no more heroics from my character anymore though; you tend to get mowed down fast doing that.

Meh, Khegerit are just a pain in the ass to fight. It's not that they're overpowered, it's just that every battle against them turns into galloping across the map about 10 times chasing them down... and that's if you're playing with the Swadians or Vaegir who actually have cavalry. With the Nords and Rhodoks, it's just a hold and defend routine until they finally charge you. Other than that, they're a snap to beat as they're not that tough.

I'd like 5 or 6 just because then I could recreate a historically accurate Mongol warrior or Turkish/Ottoman sipahi in terms of actual weapons carried to battle. They carried into battle a lance and shield, sabre and mace/axe, and bow and quiver. Ottoman medieval infantry carried a sword and axe/mace, shield plus a bow and quiver. Medieval Janissary infantry (not the dedicated Janissary archers) carried a halberd, sword/axe and shield, and bow and quiver.  Saying that 4 is historically accurate is just plain wrong. Limiting us to just 4 weapon slots seems just arbitrary. To be honest, it's fine the way it is; but that limitation was one of the things I griped about way back when.

Thats a lot of weight to be carrying around. I know these guys were the elite, but I must confess it hard to believe that an infantry soldier would carry around all of these weapons at once. Appart from anything else, they would need to be well secured, or the movement of them on the body would cause havoc with any attempts to maintain co-ordination and balance.

Can you provide a reference to this for me, as I am interested to read about how they managed it.

Of course, here for Mongol equipment. "Each warrior carried a battle axe, a curved sword known as scimitar; a lance, and two versions of their most famous weapon: The Mongol recurved bow. One of the bows was light and could be fired rapidly from horseback, the other one was heavier and designed for long-range use from a ground position."

For Ottoman/Turkish references, which are not as well documented as the Mongols (strangely), you'd have to rely mostly on contemporary illustrations. Just searching 'janissary' and 'sipahi' on wikipedia or google should provide you with ample examples of the weapons I listed in my earlier post.

The availability of equipment in those days was based solely on whether you can afford them or not. Elite troops like the sipahi, were actually responsible for providing a minimum equipment set befitting their status as nobles. They were, in effect, the equivalent of western knights. If you could not meet the minimum; ie, afford it, you were considered not qualified for that position. The Janissary are different in that they are provided for by the state in their role as slave soldiers; thus their equipment was more standardized.

Lastly, Eastern soldiers have traditionally been much lightly armoured in comparison to Westerners for various reasons including climate and tactics. Unlike Western Europe, skirmish warfare has always been king in the Eastern battlefield; thus the bow is of great importance. From the time of the Achaemenid Persian Empire (as far back as can be accounted for historically from multiple source), Eastern heavy cavalry (cataphracts) were equipped a lance, shield, a mace (or similar weapon for piercing armour), a sword (usually curved), and a bow with at least one quiver of arrows. The ancient steppe warriors (Huns, Scythians, etc) followed the same pattern. The elite infantry of these peoples would carry the same weaponry sans lance as they were basically just nobles who didn't fight on horseback due to circumstances, etc.

I have more info on books, but I will not scan and upload; so if you're really interested, I can give you a list of good books on medieval warfare... but that would be overkill.

Phhhhhht! I'm so glad I got sent here way back when. I'm a die-hard Medieval combat junkie; and got sent here by my Total War friends. All I've got to say; this is the best $11 I've EVER spent.

Who I feel sorry for are people like me who didn't get to hear about the game so didn't try it out in it's beta stage. They'll look at reviews (this one would make most of them buy it right away) and bypass this game. Oh well, I'm so glad I got a hold of this gem; and I've been giving shout outs about how awesome it is for years now. Most of my buddies have it by now.

Just a quick note... I think Paradox as their publisher was a good deal for the TWorlds team. Most of the people who would be interested in a game like this (and would buy it) play at least one Paradox game. Good reviews or no; that alone will help M&B. Reviews from gaming sites, IMO, tend to appeal more to the casual gaming crowd anyway.

Yeah, I noticed this too; but since .960... Thought it was cool back then too. In 1.003, they do it way more often than in .960; so much so that, for example, one of my Vaegir compatriots has an army made up of more than half Nords from their conquered fiefs. A bunch of Vaegir lords (including me) also have a ton of Khegerit troops seeing that we basically wiped them out then absorbed them first.

Vaegir Knights + Khegerit Veteran Horse Archers = PWNage

I use to hate fighting against the Khegerit with the Swadians in pre 1.0. They were a right pain in the ass just because of the whole chasing them all over the map issue. Now, I'm playing with the Rhodoks and I just rape them silly with my all infantry army.

Well, I don't post much; but I've been on this journey for a couple of years now, iirc... Oh well, since .6XX at any rate. I've relished every new release and it's been an awesome ride! Well worth the $11+ I spent way back when. Thanks for the experience crew; you can be sure that whatever project you guys start I'll be there.

Now get started on M&B 2... after a well earned vacation that is. Lemme go find my whip; it should be around here somewhere.

The only new weapons I've seen are the new viking and medieval swords along with the new norman shields. Armour seems to have gotten more of a boost, which is as I like it. My char now looks like a real early era medieval knight; which was the look I've been trying to get for a while now in M&B. I'll post a pic later when I get home and on my PC.

Well, since I haven't been playing M&B for almost 4 months until I updated today; this is a godsend. Thanks for the info!

Here's my current char kicking it Khegerit style.

Meh, after spending most of yesterday fighting Khegerits solo and only getting a cavalry and a guard helm; I broke down and modded it in. It was pretty easy actually; just very tedious. So now I finally have a set of Khegerit Guard armour... Now I understand why the bastids are a pain to kill.

I've been killing the bastards since this morning... still haven't gotten a single piece

Oh well... I'll try to figure out how to mod the txt file to allow it to be sold in stores. I tried a stat switch earlier, but the boots came out screwed up. I'm having a blast with the other new armours anyway... I didn't even know the Khegerit stuff was in 7.51. Tells you how much I played M7B back then. (too much competition from other games).

And can you kindly tell me how you did it please? Or at least send me the files, etc... That would be much appreciated.
