How does this mod differ compared with Rise of Kings / Swords of the Prophets.
CASTLE AGE UNITS[edit | edit source]
Units previously trained from the Nobles' Court / Senate all go here, with the excception of Muslim units. All Muslim units from Chronicles are available for training for Andalusians / Saracens. This includes the following units:
The Nobles' Court is used to train only Castle Age UUs from Rise of Kings - ie
- European units: Jinetes, Teulu Skirmishers, Gridny, Vsadniky, Boyarnik, Pronoiar,Milites
- Frankish Knight - buff its stats and add it here.
- Mercenaries originally belonging to a certain cultural group obtained by other factions (Ecorcheur, Hibernians, Ceithern) have improved stats and are moved here)
- Generic European units: Mailed Lancers, Swordsmen.
- Ecorcheur skins are now changed - swap the parts around to differentiate them from their original Welsh skins.
- Ditto Hibernians.
- JArl v Merchant Cavalry? find out how to differentiate them.
ROMANS[edit | edit source]
- Bulgars make a comeback from Swords of the Prophets, but share the same heavy cav units with Russia.
- But Byzantines use the old Rise of Kings system with one exception - Bucellarii upgrade to Scholarii in the Stable, while Varangians and Pronoiaroi upgrade from Excubitores.
CELTS[edit | edit source]
- Strathclyde - uses the old Alba system. Hibernians and Cliarthaire are in existence but that's it.
- Alba - only REtinue Cav, Longboat and Cliarthaire are avaiable.
- England - full roster but comes from Rise of Kings. BUT
- Saxons - retains the original system from Swords of the Prophets. But they should be able to train Retinue Cavalry AND Swordsmen.
- Irish - new units: Hobelars, Ceithern,
- Hobelar - an improved version of Jarl Cavalry.
Galloglaich are common place in Irish, Alban, and Strathclydian pay.
NORSE?[edit | edit source]
Denmark, Sweden, Norway (and Strathclyde) all use Project 666's system. For Denmark - Retinue Cavalry, Swordsmen, come out of the Nobles' Court. BUT
- Norman Conroy - needs a new skin since the old Norman Routier uses Scara skin. Change of Weapon?
- Only Russia does not change its units, it uses the old Rise of Kings system.
- But Ubba wants weaker infantry. Probably, that means only Archers, Spearmen and Militia (?) are available.
Unit glossary *by Ubba Ragnarsson)
- Berserkir
- Holuman
- Jomsvikingr: A semi-merc unit like the German Landsknechts.
- Drekkar Njörð: Longship deluxe, is meant to be a floating "battering ram".
MUSLIMS, AFRICANS, HUNGARIANS[edit | edit source]
- Hungarians remain unchanged from Project 666.
- But while Andalus uses the old Umayyad system of Project 666, Saracens retain the old system of Rise of Kings. In fact, it is a rehash of the original.
- Rizicos can be recruited by Andalus.
- Moors - Murabitun - use the old Moorish system of RKC but don't train Iberian Riders.
- BErber Horsemen now replace Iberian Riders and Horse Archers for Moors.
- Different merc pool - lots of Africans. Lots and lots of black Africans.
- Ansariyun must be dropped.
New UUs[edit | edit source]
Wessex:
- Eorl's Thegns (Heavy royal Cavalry),
- Cynehlatbrd Huscarl (Heavy Infantry),
- Byrnwiggend Seaxes (Heavy Axemen, possible use as special late-game Dane unit otherwise shows the power of Wssex' infantry)
East Anglia????
- Earl's Ibora (Strong Ranged Cavalry),
- Cipemarm (Armed/Heavy Merchant?)
