Yes, you can play custom battles indeed, but the mod is meant to be played only at 10k per player with no upgrades at all, so you might get a wrong feeling for the units if you use em.
Scots were one of the last factions to be completed and have a couple of units which will be fixed in the upcoming patch.
scots
yes alex always 10k with them and no upgrades
at first i thought "yuck" pike units coz the scots never used pike units until late era 15th\16th century and even that was on a small scale, mainly french trained units WHICH kinda came to a messy ending, hmm think it was jame's the 3rd who found that out to his cost when facing english. anyway not a 100% sure when or under "who" BUT the scots did use pikemen (once at least)
as for the long spear very correct, they first used them at the battle of stirling bridge,using their long spear units to split the english army then disguard their long spears after routing the english horse,
to be honest tho it wasnt really spears more like long wooden stakes
(the first time in history that a light infantary unit stopped a head on charge by heavy horse).
Robert the Bruce (Robert the 1st of Scotland)
used them very succesfully at bannokburn, there's a name for this type of formation, which i cant remember of hand BUT the same tatic was used by the British at Waterloo in crushing the french horse.
its a shame that CA never put the "square formation" into the MTW engine
would be cool if you could suggest which unit types to select, to give a balanced army
Pitt to really get a feel for the mod you should go online and play in multiplayer. There are many other people who are learning the mod there too so u dont have to worry about playing badly. And you will be just as welcome to join us as anyone else is.
The best time to come online is around 7pm (GMT) onwards.
We normally organise our games beforehand in msn messenger so if you are online i will notify you when we are going to play.
hmm well the AI has been beating me with DUX mode
being that if not played for a very long time i was struggling,
theres a bug when you play normal high era, byz foot van\byz inf are kinda invisable, all you see at serting angles is their weapons and shields but no men!
BUT except from that everything seems smooth
