Cataph’s Lance Formation
— works with Norscan patch —
Now that Lance formation is in official service, this pack is now converted to apply the official Lance to the units that for some reason didn’t have it, such as melee cav (questing, grail guardians) and flying cav (pegasi and hippos).
Old pictures in the gallery are left there for the old times’ sake.
Ever dreamt of taking your trusted LANCE Knights, putting them in a sharp LANCE formation and drive them with their strong LANCES into the enemy formation where they could LANCE people to death with their own LANCES while in a LANCE formation, singing merry hymns about how LANCEY their LANCES are?
Me neither*. But now you can anyhow, in case you were suddenly considering it.
The wedge formation is reinstated and all Bretonnian Knights (well, not characters, it would be silly for a lone guy to form a wedge, wouldn’t it.) can now properly form up in a lore-friendly Lance formation with which they can tactically stab** enemy armies into submission.
*I lie, I wanted this since day 1.
**we’ll just pretend it’s a sophisticated tactic to charge people head-on while in a pointy formation. Bretonnians are quite touchy about it and will get unbearingly loud when explaining it’s not that straight-forward, so for the love of Myrmidia: shhhhh and applaud them.
– Wedge formation to all existing Bretonnian Knight units (short list, actually).
– +20% charge speed and +10% charge bonus, +2 Ld (simulates rank bonus).
– custom skill icon.
Stats shouldn’t be overly strong or too weak, considering older games also applied acceleration/speed debuffs as well and that by TT it only added on the number of hitting models.
It WILL be used by the AI as well. So pepper your angus for bretonnian charges.
And yes, I have a fetish for testing stuff against dwarfs. They’re just too fun to watch when they’re knocked all over the place.
Compatible and save-safe with practically anything I reckon, and can be easily be retrofitted by modders on their own added bret units.
– I will not apply this to imperial knights or other stuff as Bretonnians are the only ones that do this stuff by lore, as silly as that may sound. You can easily do it on your own.
Credits:
To Wakelessrex for showing the way as I was too blind to see the proper table in the assembly kit.
(I would appreciate that you credited him as well if you were to include this for your own units.)
To Prater (check out his version) for contributing in fixing the campaign issue.
This said, check out this collection too see what’s surely compatible.
