does this allow the general's to be mounted?
Sebidee  [author] 21 Jun, 2016 @ 4:35pm 
Yeah I think that might actually be carried over from the Mercians who recruit that unit from Mead Hall 1.
Teefy 21 Jun, 2016 @ 3:01pm 
Royal Cavalry - Upper tier melee cavalry
- Mead Hall 3

Horsemen - Mid tier melee cavalry
- Mead Hall 2

Scout Cavalry - Low tier skirmisher cavalry
- Mead Hall 1

Currently, there is no need for a Mead Hall 2 to buy the Horsemen.
It is available at Mead Hall 1 as well.

please confirm.
Teefy 21 Jun, 2016 @ 2:24pm

Hey Sebidee! Is it possible for you to upload this mod somewhere else? I got the box version from gamestop, so i don't have attila on steam, and i would really like to use your mod.
Imperial_Patriot 17 Jan, 2016 @ 3:02am 
Nays!!!
Túreo_inórë 27 Dec, 2015 @ 4:26pm

Microsoft Word 26 Dec, 2015 @ 4:33pm 
I don't think maille was as common as you think it was
WilliamTheLion 26 Dec, 2015 @ 4:26pm 
yes they are, the iberian peasent used the same style but they had chainamil and a small shield at this point in time, even the jinetes had chainmail but nooooo lets just make them as ugly as we can CA says
Sebidee  [author] 26 Dec, 2015 @ 3:25pm 
Yep I rmemebr the alumgavars from medieval 2, isn't Charlemagne a little early for them?
WilliamTheLion 26 Dec, 2015 @ 3:09pm 
thanks man well here is a hint bc i am espanol... is not ambushers it could be called Almujavares and they had at least chain mail, buckler looking shield and a sword
Sebidee  [author] 26 Dec, 2015 @ 3:02pm 
Well those two units will be removed and replaced with better ones. Full upgrade trees and everything :)
WilliamTheLion 26 Dec, 2015 @ 2:58pm 
omg please asap. Asturias unit card ambushers is sooooooooooooooooooo ugly ...really a body full of stripes, i think i dont upgrade my levy skirmishers just so i dont see that shit in my city garrison
Sebidee  [author] 26 Dec, 2015 @ 2:09pm 
William, I'm completely remaking every roster in Charlemagne. I'll remember some armoured spearmen :)
WilliamTheLion 26 Dec, 2015 @ 2:01pm 
can anybody make armored spearmen for asturias please please please
Sebidee  [author] 25 Dec, 2015 @ 5:34pm 
You have the sword assigned to the wrong attach point in the unit's variantmeshdefinition. Swords need to go in attach point 2.
Túreo_inórë 25 Dec, 2015 @ 10:53am 
Hi sebidee i am creating a unit mod and i have a issue with the shock cav units,i cant make them use their swords when they are in melee,they use a lance for charge and a shield with a sword for melee combat,when i test them though their swords are stabbed right on to them and they fight with invisible weapons.
Sebidee  [author] 24 Dec, 2015 @ 2:24pm 
That's awesome Lloyd, I'm glad you enjoy them :)
Lloyd 24 Dec, 2015 @ 12:47pm

Sebidee  [author] 19 Dec, 2015 @ 5:41am 
Thanks Ivan.
Crazyivan 18 Dec, 2015 @ 9:57pm 
Great mod Mr S i rate it:llama:
Sebidee  [author] 15 Dec, 2015 @ 2:37pm 
No more historical bickering. If you want to fight with each other then go to the forums like everyone else!!
Larissimo 15 Dec, 2015 @ 1:16pm 
Thanks!:D I can't wait to ride down some foes with them... :steamhappy:
Sebidee  [author] 15 Dec, 2015 @ 1:14pm 
Thanks Jalajo, fixed!!
Sebidee  [author] 15 Dec, 2015 @ 1:11pm 
oh right haha, I'll fix that right now and update.
Larissimo 15 Dec, 2015 @ 1:08pm 
Thanks for this mod, Sebidee! I totally agree with you that they should have at least a minimum of cavalry units.

But there seems to be a bug with the royal cavalry: they have no legs! Even in the screenshot. Would be great if you could fix it!:-)

@The Last Methbender The Normans were pretty much the Danes (or at least people from the north hence the name). The king of France at the time gave them the land of Normandy so that they would stop raiding his lands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normans
Loonking 15 Dec, 2015 @ 8:24am 
@Lemon Cheesecake the tapestry of Bayeux shows the Normans and not the Danes.
The Normans used cavalry. As far as I know the Danes/Viking Raiders did not use (a lot of) cavalry.
Plus if you consider the distance between Denmark and England, it is quite far compared to Normandy and England. It's easier for horses to be transported over sea for a short distance.

But it doesn't matter anyway. I prefer the Danes without cavalry, but it's nice to have the option to play them with cavalry. Who cares if it's historically accurate or not.

You could bring some horses on boats, a great lord wouldn't leave his trained warhorse at home. They were able to capture horses quickly and that was usually the very first thing they did. Once settled they would certainly have horses.

Danes had horsemen, guys. End of story.
Morale Officer 13 Dec, 2015 @ 7:38am 
The issue with using cavalry is that there weren't any room on boats for horses, regardless of their size. If they used horses they were often ones stolen from the people they raided and used almost exclisively for scouting and delivering messages.

It makes sense in Head Cannon if you start to settle bigger regions and could make up that you 'developed' a cavalry force to deal with the Franks elite mounted units, but personally I hire mercenaries. It's a nice historically alternative. The celtic horsemen are plenty eager to get back at the English, after all.

For every1 ranting about the danes not using cav, they didn't but the richer portion of their society. the hersirs(nobles) would normally ride into battle then dismount. In fact their swedish neighbors were known for their horses which were small but had lots of stamina
Joe 12 Dec, 2015 @ 8:14pm 
wrong hyperPanda
Microsoft Word 12 Dec, 2015 @ 6:58pm 
Yeah they rarley used cavalry as a main force in battle but this is a video game, if you want to ride down your enemies with viking cavalry, just ride down your enemies with viking cavalry.
Sebidee  [author] 12 Dec, 2015 @ 6:05pm 
The Danes would often dismount to fight in a shield wall if it was a tactical advantage. Shield walls are strong and sturdy and great for defense, also if you are fighting a shield wall you need a shield wall of your own.

BUT! If they were chasing a fleeing enemy, raiding the countryside or attacking an enemy in loose formation then they would have stayed on whatever horses they had because that was the right choice at the time. All cavalry units have a dismount button so you can do either in the game.
PyroManiac 12 Dec, 2015 @ 2:20pm 
I am pretty sure that around this time period they did not use Cavalry
Sebidee  [author] 12 Dec, 2015 @ 2:17pm 
Dude, that's just plain wrong!
PyroManiac 12 Dec, 2015 @ 2:17pm 
I understand Why to give the Danes cavalry but historically there is no evidence of them ever using cavalry
Sebidee  [author] 12 Dec, 2015 @ 12:14pm 
Do you mean how the longbows change to other bows when they are firing them? That's because you have the wrong animation, you need to use a longbow animation not one for any other bow. The model the unit uses while firing comes from the animation fragment and not from the variantmesh.
Guvenoren 12 Dec, 2015 @ 7:19am 
Greetings Sebidee. Do you know how to fix the archer issues when giving them longbows?
MagicHjalti 12 Dec, 2015 @ 5:25am 
only coward use Cavalry :steamsalty:
Ammianus Marcellinus 12 Dec, 2015 @ 4:22am 
In fact Viking raiders often used cavalry in western europe, especially in the Frisia and Neustria.
Nero 11 Dec, 2015 @ 9:54pm 
CA is a sad pathetic joke. Thx for the fix.
