He very well could. But this was the exact thing I didn't want to do. It's XIII century, not VI. He is rough and tough, but he is a soldier, not a savage.Executor-64- said:

Also I'd like somebody to make screenies of existant army encounter pictures or find them in game files, both factions and bandits. There are almost none on the web and me olde computer would make this process a bit too tedious. Please PM me images, they would really come handy.
Edit: Nevermind pictures, problem operatively solved.
They're send.

Maybe i missed something and surely you have been on holidays for Xmas but there wasn't supposed to be an update ?

Don't you know that in Spain our holidays last until January the 6th, the Wise Kings' Day?

Well, I couldn't say, I was just precisely wondering if that was what you had in mind.

Nah, I hate fantasy games... With all the magic, and idiotic storyline that I never remember, and the names I can't even pronounce (like OganefCruger said:
) and those hot chicks in tight bikinis that are "badass"... Don't get me started on the "he was once a great hero and now he is the source of evil" story that was taken from diablo and starcraft and is still used in every stinkin' mmo/stretegy/fantasy game, starting with warcraft 3 and onward... See? You got me started yeah... you got me on that one. Barbarian looks like he was on steroids all his life or something
I may have used the wrong word, curse you English
!No I didn't mean badass, I ment *pose* he was making...
Again I like your drawing man It's in mount&blade style and yet with europe 1200 warriors. I actualy like the stance on this one, but will you give higher tier troops better stance in the pictures... Like this

The images are quite decieving, since none of those people, except maybe the Byzantines, belong to the mod's timeframe.

Pose! I was reffering to the pose in the pics
also it would be nice to have a pose similar to the knight from my avatar

All are from Osprey Men-at-arms books, as you probably already know...Cèsar de Quart said:
I have versions of all of their books.
They are OK, but some info and images are a bit outdated.
For instance, they say that 14th century Balkans lands mostly had wooden castles.
If that is true, then how do we have so many stone castles still standing today?
Cruger
Because stone don't rotten..
The pose is fine as it is, end of discussion..

I understand what you want. It's just half of these don't show the fact that these people are gonna poke you with pointy sticks. Some are too relaxed, some are too fancy (which in itself isn't bad, I'll definitely make knights stand more proud than some swordsman). There will be occasional guy who will pose so the picture wouldn't be monotonous, but that's it. Just check Native's pictures, that's pretty much what I'm going for.Executor-64- said:Damn what's the word...

But it says that most castles were wodden. And there is a ****load of stone castles on Balkans...Cruger said:
Also, is ''stone don't rotten'' correctly put sentence?
Wow, really?!DrevniDabar said:
Oh, man, you see, that's why I would never really trust a Western historian trying to speak about Eastern European history. 
Nope, "stone doesn't rot" would be the correct form, if we're going to be nitpicky.DrevniDabar said:Also, is ''stone don't rotten'' correctly put sentence?
And, btw, Mykami - awesome work! I really, really like it!
DrevniDabar
You, kind sir, should stick to your fantastic drawings, because your writing is appallingly atrocious, erroneous and erratic.*Mykami said:
*Yes, it's Google translate, not me.
Well, their info on that matter seems to have its roots from a document, which some French chronicler/adventurer (whos name I forgot) has written for a Pope (either Clement or Innocent), in the mid 14th century.NikeBG said:Wow, really?!DrevniDabar said:
Now, he says of Balkans (he travelled over Serbia, Bulgaria, and RE, to get to Constantinople) that it is a land where people are not good, where castles are simple wooden ramparts, where nobility doesn't look much different than peasants, and that, worst of all, people there are Orthodox Christians.
But, for land itself, he says that it is beautiful and fertile, full of pretty forests, great rivers full of fish, then the endless pastures and so on, and so on...
Now, I deciphered a true meaning of that letter:
The land is beutiful, but the people there do not deserve that beauty. They should be conquered...
Cruger
Well, that French adventurer got some great ideas
Anyways, Mykami finished yet another great drawing, this time of a Welsh longbowman.

Ah, a bare foot! Great job!
When I was but a young squire, a read about archers with only one boot, they say that it was for balance purposes,
though I never knew how exactly it affects balance...

DrevniDabar said:
I read it was specifically Welsh archers using only one shoe. As you probably know Gaelics didn't encounter their enemies in direct battles (as they do in M&B), but used skirmish tactics. By using only one shoe the archers could stand better on hills, which they used for all their ambushes etc.
