The bloody hell just happened....

Upload the pics somewhere else?

 

[Lazyman]

I did not upload them, I linked them from a site .

Many sites don't allow you to post their pictures elsewhere because it takes up their bandwidth (when someone opens this thread, their browser tries to download the pictures from the site you linked to). Go to the site, download the pictures to your own computer, then upload them to a free file hosting site, for example tinypic.com.

If you get a warning that "no hotlinking is allowed" then that's what they're talking about.


For images to be shown on taleworlds you can also use TWim. It's quite nifty, just follow that link and click on the red "TWim".

As fond as I am of head-to-toe mail, Mongolian (and other) lamellar is badass as well.

Modern historians think that there were no Teutonic knights at Legnica.

 

[Blackthorn]

Tangental, much?

 

[Roach XI the Magnificent]

No. I hate all these pictures with Mongols slaying enemies they never faced.

 

[Captured Joe]

Those Teutons? I did read in a book about Poland that a group of Teutonic knights went to Poland to support them against the Mongol/Tatar invasion.

 

[RalliX]

I'm fairly certain I read something along those lines as well.

 

[Blackthorn]

Bit confused- the Teutons had some chapters in Eastern Europe in modern Poland and Slavic territories- you saying you're certain none of them engaged the Mongols when they made a thrust for Eastern Europe?

 

[Roach XI the Magnificent]

It's not Medieval II total war, guys. Warfare didn't work like that back then.

And no, there is no evidence that any Teutonic knights were present at Legnica, and most historians have long accepted that.

 

[Captured Joe]

Legnica was a battle against Tatar troops of the Mongol Sultanate, right? 'cause in the book I did read, they refer to a couple of battles between Poles (aided by a group of Teutonic Knights) and Tatar troops.

Or maybe it was just another battle...

 

[YourStepDad]

Sultanate?

 

[Thedalitz]

Tatar troops of the Mongol Sultanat

Mongolian Khanate* 

 

[Captured Joe]

And behold, Confused Joe makes another mistake.

Indeed, I meant the Mongols (I don't dare to name their faction anymore).

 

[Ule]

just throwing it out there, liegnica (liegnitz/liepzig pending on translation, ive always read it as liepzig) was in area where the tuetonics kienightits, held lands and had castles.

plus ive yet to read an account of the mongol european invasion that doesnt put some sort of ___ knights at the battle.

and one of those images is from ospery books, they rarely get thier research wrong

 

[AWdeV]

They do occassionally make **** up though.
