deucefire 说:Have you made any decisions on which Lords to include in the second volume? If you haven't then maybe you could include Edward the Black Prince.
Comrade Temuzu 说:I for one come to this thread to read epic stories of badass knights. It's surprising how little we hear about them these days.

Amman de Stazia 说:just for some inspiration, I googled "flower of chivalry" and among 8,012,053 other results, it has
William Douglas, (the Knight of Liddesdale)
William Marshal
Bertrand du Guescelin
Edward Longshanks (I of England)
Captal de Buch
Orchid 说:Jean (II) le Maingre, aka Boucicaut, would be a wonderful addition to the second volume as well methinks. Marshal of France, known throughout Europe for his prowess in battle and commander of the French vanguard in one of the famous battles of all times: Agincourt.

What do you say it's true, however a timespan of only 50 years is not so much. Beyond that, those are almost the only contemporary sources we have, and especially in the case of castruccio, his illustration in full armour comes from an eye witness from Lucca. I just gave you a hint, more info could come on a deeper research.
The mid and late XIV century military outlook is fascinating in looking how many leaders rise from lower tiers of society to fight and rule...

Good suggestions, I would like to include more Italians as well as some figures from other areas such as Scandiniavia, Poland, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Denmark etc. Trying to stick to Catholic regions at the moment. In the future if the project is relatively successful/popular I'll be moving onto other regions like Russia, Middle East, etc.
Only thing about these suggestions is that Castruccio and John's references are actually made about 40-50 years after their deaths. I know Hawkwoods memorial is from 1436 when he died in 1394. Maybe Mohatmair has some images in his vast archive, but I may have to make an educated guess at what they may have been equipped with.

Captured Joe 说:YES! I love you!
Will this be an apart mod, or are this files replacing native lords?
