Just want to say, fantastic mod. Really enjoying it so far, it's pretty much exactly what I've been looking for. Mid-late 11th century warfare has always really interested me.
I have a question about the new commoner-tier cavalry troops, specifically for the Swadians. Will they be more of a skirmisher-style cavalry with javelins? Or will they be more like the existing heavy cav? I think that's the one thing the current version Swadians are missing, a cheaper light cav that can run around throwing javelins.
I am glad you like the mod. For ver. 2.1 Work in progress I have added a medium cavalry "Swadian Mounted Sergeant." He doesn't have throwing weapons but does have a nice morningstar and sword. He isn't that cheap as he is level 25. I really like the idea of a lightly armored horseman (like the lower tier manhunters) but I don't know if I will create one for the Swadians. I will think on it.
One of the design objectives for the mod was to somewhat reduce the amount of mounted troops to represent an earlier, more infantry-centered approach. I am trying to get the right balance for each faction. The Eastern Province and Sarranids both have commoner mounted skirmishers in v.2.1.
