You made a great mod.

Quick question,

How do I use/access formations?

Do the spearbracy thing?


Thank you.
 
I removed formations, becouse it was a game-breaker in my opinion...

To use spear bracing you first of all need a spear, and then press B while in battle..
 
If you set an AI controlled troop with a spear to hold his position they will use the spear bracing if any cavalry come charging against them.. You could try it out in custom battles :smile:

I understand why you'd think formations would be a game breaker, but the alternative
highlights the design flaw(?) of the vanilla M&B, that is, whoever has more heavy cavalry wins.

I haven't tried the spearthing yet, maybe it's the solution?
 
Well. I tried setting up the scottish pikemen against french heavy cavalry..

let us just say... the whiskey men won!
 
By my opinion style of fighting of the most spearmen, pikemen and halberdiers in the most of mods is very funny and ridiculous. These soldiers waving with their heavy and very long weapons as thought it would be matches or toothpicks. Khergit Khanate spearmen even use some mysterious magical telescope spears which they suddenly pull out from nowhere instead of their bows. How impressive and stupid! I think all the fighting of this troops using spears and halberds should be rework to be more realistic and sober.  :cry:  :razz:

In reality spearmen or pikemen propped up their spears against ground and waited at cavalry attack. After cavalry attack they usually put away their spears if they weren't broken in this attack because they were too heavy and clumsy for common fight and fought further with swords or even with daggers. I think they was never armed with spears and bows simultaneously as it is commonly used here.  :???:

Reading that i thing someone could develop a weapon break code...like a heavy inpact in a spear would crack it...then the spearman would use another weapon like sword or maces...
Edit: sorry i forgot to say ( maybe you already know ) infantry tend to use sword istead of spear...so i think it would be a little bit boring to make then use spear until it break and if the code can be created too...

      I'd like to ask you something...please add pikes as scottish pikeman spear...the other is too short and they used long spears againts english knights... I really think the pike would be better for the scots and please another think i'd like to see is a nice Lithuanian faction ( half of my family comes from there, all my mom part of family is Lithuanian) , my grandmother was born there then her parents came to Brazil...
 
if you were to implement spear break thing make so the spear brakes on first attack, then they switch to sword (ex: making a cavalry charge killed by spears then infantry drop their broken spear switching to swords for close combat.) 
 
1st. I agree on that the Awlpikes is to short.

2nd. I also agree that it would be cool if the spearmen dropped their spear after an inpact. Like if it was some kind of reaction after the damage was delt after a spear bracing.

3rd. I do not agree that you should make a faction just because one guy comes from there. I actaully think that you should add factions that plays the most important parts in thhe history books.

4th. I could try to look into the spear bracing code and see if I can help you on making a script where the spears will be dropped or removed after impact..

5th of all... I am very sry to tell you guys. But this isn't the suggestion topic...

He's going to add Lithuania because of the poll...i'm just asking to do a good work in this one because i like it so much...
 
I´ve got a question. There is an option, that you can set how many soldiers you can engage on battle field at the same time. The top is 100. But I have seen some videos on youtube and abviously, there was more then 100 men on battlefield. How can I change this? Thank you.
