Kingmaker has many unique qualities as a mod, which is why I believe will make it one fantastic mod! It is set at the time of The Wars of the Roses (1455-85) in England, and the two armies are the Yorkists who are fighting against the Lancastrians. Firstly, it is going to be using the much anticipated and fabulous Half-Life 2 engine, giving us, as a mod team, more possibilities to make the mod better for you, as the public, to play. It has an ingenious class system, which will interestingly include NO classes. There will be two fundamental values for the class system, which are "Prestige points" and "Valour". Whichever team you pick, you will start at level one, called the militia. The militia is the basic fighting force, and is recruited from all across Europe. It is not very reliable in battle due to the often poor quality of the weapons, armaments and training; however there are large numbers of them. The militia will only have choice of the cheapest or most basic...
Arquebus - A vast improvement to the earlier
handgonne of the previous Century, the arquebus
has greater power and accuracy and is therefore
more effective in battle. It is the beginning of a
vast change to military forces and tactics in
Europe as more and more European (and Eastern)
army commanders recognise the potential of
gunpowder dominant forces.
This fearsome weapon stands at the pinnacle of
technological and military progress during the
later stages of the Wars of the Roses and many
were brought in with the "Burgundian
gunners" to support both sides of the English
conflict.
Although the weapon's full potential of
being used in mass volleys was not yet recognised
it still created fear on the battlefield and was
seen as the devil's own creation throughout
the Christian world.
Although the arquebus is relatively expensive in
King Maker it is capable of doing severe damage to
enemy forces even fully clad in armour, as the
bullets fired are remarkably adept at cutting
clean through the most expensive armour from a
relatively long range. The only downside to this
incredible weapon is the rate of fire. The rate of
fire may not exceed 2 shots per minute, perhaps
slightly more in experienced hands so it pays to
reload carefully and with sense of your
surroundings.
