fallen men in minor battle image - Crusader - Sacra Regna mod for Mount & Blade: Warband

After reworking and testing the game mechanics I have experienced the following:
- Even "normal" horses can knock down a mailed foe in one charge; heavy war horses can knock out most of the enemies, even the elites in one charge.
- AI prefers to shoot on the enemy horses first in order to avoid this^ (at least 40% of my horsemen never reached enemy archers ON their horses).
- Low-tier archers (huntsmen/tribesmen & bowmen) are basicly unable to harm armoured enemies, they basicly only **** each other, peasants and militias, and the unshielded, polearmed (European) Footman troops.
- Longbowmen and high-tier muslim archers basicly nail every infantry, arches and ligt-to medium cavalry, moreover they are fast and pretty accurate.
- High-tier crossbowmen (altough slow to reload and quite inaccurate) can basicly defeat ANY enemies.
- Javelin-troops basicly kick *** against anyone too, but they are more of a kind of hybrid-functioned soldiers: limited ammo, limited range, but usually better in melee (most of them carry bigger shields, not only bucklers)
- I decided not to add mounted light crossbowmen to europeans, so muslim forces have advantage with their excellent horse archers -> some kind of balance against small elite knight forces of europeans.
- Knights are the best troops in game, but they only appear in very limited numbers. Muslim elites are also good, can have better armor as well, but slightly lower skills -> pretty good battlefield balance. (In 1vs1 battle usually: Europeans: ~200-300 vs Muslims: ~300-600 and the chances of winning is balanced)
Whew! This comment grow so large I should post it in the articles --- anyway, I think people watch the pics more often than reading the articles :D
