Lily’s Men-at-Arms (Longbows) V1.1
"Men-at-arms trained with longbows are extremely deadly if trained properly, but most lords are willfully ignorant of this."
The chivalrous, melee-driven knights and lords of the realm have little concern for the peasants, and many consider them inferior to cattle. However, some lords who take their duty as a general more seriously can at least admire the effect a large horde of filthy peasants can have on the outcome of the battle. It is by the law of the land that nobles can turn peasants into Men-at-Arms at will, and do so to improve the troop’s courage, equipment, training and organization. However, because the job of training them has to be done by the nobility themselves, they rarely equip them or train them in the art of archery as it is seen as beneath them.
This mod allows you to be the kind of lord that is willing to recruit and train effective and skilled bowmen.
Compared to regular peasant bowmen they have:
• +15 range
• +15 armour
• +33% rate of fire
• An improved ratio of normal damage to piercing damage
• Higher melee stats, health and morale (Worse than regular Men-at-Arms)
• A slightly reduced upkeep
• Slower movement speed
• Recruited at level 3 + 4 barracks (requires a carpenters workshop)
• Higher initial cost
Known issues of the mod:
-They are not considered peasants in the peasant economy. (Some players may see this as a feature and not an error.)
-The unit may be slightly overpowered in the early game, but definitely not game breaking.
Recommended accompanying mods:
Blessed Bretonnia
Improved Arrow Trails
Knightly Louen
Recruitment Remastered – Bretonnia
Special thanks to Sebidee for his awesome tutorial[www.twcenter.net].
Update notes:
v1.1: Reduced health from +54 to +49 to better reflect the unit’s role as a missile unit. There appears to be an error/bug preventing me from updating the mod so the old version can still be found here.
• The unit will do better in auto-resolve.
• Improved Accuracy
