Any chance for a mongol update today retech?

Balearic Islands

 

As the wearied party of Leon journeyed to the Balearic islands, they made a stunning discovery. There was a small tribe of "heathans", who practiced a strange religion. To praise their god, they killed all the male children at the age of two. As those children could not copulate before the age of two, the population soon dwindled. Currently the village is all female, and only managed to survive due to visiting merchants.

 

Naturally the explorers took the island for Leon.

Retech, how do knights work? Cost etc. And the unique unit how's that work?

Knights are free, and you can usually get 1k-2k without much of a problem. However, when you want to mount a major military campaign and you want to get more, the best bet is to beg the nobles to give you some more. Usually giving them convincing reasons, or bribing them with more power in the government or control of the conquered land will do the trick.

 

Unique units are basically regular units, but you describe it to be. There are some that require some investment (say if you wanted ninjas, you couldn't just have ninjas right away), but the regular unique units are pretty much like regular units. Then you discuss with me what you think its strengths and weaknesses should be, and their cost.

Are there any other mounted troops other than archers, that aren't knights?

Well there are hobilars, which are basically light calvery with leather armor and a simple spear, as well as a small round shield. Then there are cataphracts, and camels, and equites (from the Roman days, but they are just better trained versions of hobilars). Also war elephants if those count... :D

My Hlaupari are mounted ninjas, with some of the best horses Europeans can get. =b

How much do Cataphracts cost? and Equites?

The real old-fashion Byzantine Cataphracts decked in full armor would cost 1500. Equites, probaly around 600.

I also have Welsh cavalry, which are just sort of light skirmisher/raider cavalry.

Alright, 2.5m for 3560 Horse Archers, 2.5m for 1700 cataphracts. Ish.

BTW, Retech, I have 9,800 Hlaupari now. Treasury is 800,000.

 

When is the next budget reset?

Pirate artillery.

 

Retech, can you please stick this on the front page?

 

Nice castle image.

Just as a side note to earth; I can't believe you waited a couple of years to attack england when it was handed to you on a silver platter. (The funnier thing is that when you finally did attack the nation was solidified). Ah well any bets on how well my attack on the mongols will go? (Note that I have men at arms equipped with tower shields and pikemen guarding my archers and crossbow men [with 1.6k heavy horse archers and 500 knights waiting for the mongols to dismount and attack my formation as infantry])

Why is nobody colouring in the islands in the baltic fffffffffffffffffffff

simply put, grim.. i couldnt. i didn even have 1000 troops. wouldve been killed immediatley.

Oops wrong topic.

 

Uhh to get on topic, is there going to be an update today, and this is the tenth day so budgets are today I guess.

Yes, I will do an update early afternoon, then you get your budgets. Then after that I will have another report in the evening.
