On the surface, the new Amazons: Total War mod seems like an extension of the previous Amazons:Total War mod. But nothing can be further from the truth.
Whereas both mods used the assumption that 99.99% of ancient horses are only 12 hands high (120cm), this would accord women equestrians an unfair advantage as cavalry soldiers.
The latest 7.0 mod, called "Amazons:Total War - Recalesced" is an RTW/BI game based mod allowing the player to explore ancient battlefield using modern military concepts. Such as:
- Mobility and Stand-off Weapon capability using women cavalry.
- Area Denial "Minefield" using field engineering units.
- Long Range Mobile Artillery.
- Wagon Warfare to allow German Panzer like armor combat.
- Guerrilla Warfare, allowing agents to infiltrate into enemy territory to raise army behind enemy line.
- Linked Armor-Clad Cavalry which was the dominating cavalry formation in Eurasia for centuries.
Now shown first time ever on a video game.
- Terrifying Super-heating Incendiary Weapons known as the Thermite Munition.
Other Features
