6-10 boats with crews of 50-80 men. Would be nice to recreate the chaos of the times.
fidelspikes said:I think the most vital thing missing from Brytenwalda and most other mods is the system of equipping your soldiers. I suggest using the WW2 China mod as a guide while implementing a system of equipping and upgrading soldiers. As it exists currently, you can upgrade a guy to curaidh for some pieces of gold even though you yourself may not be able to buy the armor he wears. funny . . ur supposed to be his lord and all you know . . i dont think there is one good example of a self-respecting military commander in ancient times who went to battle with equipment that was inferior than one of his own soldier (or alternatively, no soldier in his right mind would join a lord who had ****tier equipment than him).
Implementing a system of upgrading soldiers who have attained the required exp level with weapons and armour either bought at their market value which is bound to be very expensive . . or looted from dead enemies would ensure that :-
1.) the game becomes even more uber-realstic
2.) avoids the irony of a richer man giving his oath of fealty to a poorer lord when he can find his fame elsewhere
3.) makes the satisfaction of taking down an elite or hard warband much more enjoyable as you know that now your troops will also be getting their hands on those weapons and will be tougher to kill and better killers in the next battle.
Also, a baggage train to carry all that loot and availability of 60-70 percent of the actual equipment of the enemy after the battle has been won would have to be implemented (like its bin done in the WW2 China mod - go check it out first pls)

i would just LOVE this feature. It would be great if we were able to buy better equipment for our troops. It would be a natural process to troop progression in a way. Imagine having to buy 100 crossbows in to outfit your troops. It wouldnt be as easy as just selecting a random upgrade. A rich Lord would naturally have well equipped troops

not to mention getting fear from loot. Would be amazing, though a total rebalance.
Raid system. Borrow from Vikingr. My life would be complete.
Letissier said:This would be an awesome expansion for the Brytenwalda mod.
Because you already have the map (just need a bit of Denmark and Norway added to it and perhaps a small part of Sweden just for me )
The units of the invasion era werent so different from the Brytenwalda era.
But wait you could make it the year 1065 during Edward the Confessors era and continue onto the Norman invasion under Guillaume le Bâtard (William the Conqueror) now that would be awesome to
