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...
The pike is the longest Polearm in Kingmaker and
during the Wars of the Roses is yet to see the
pinnacle of it's success and popularity. A
foreign weapon, the pike is quite uncommon on the
battlefield, but it's great length makes it
very effective at stopping cavalry charges. The
over-riding problem however is that the pike is an
unwieldy weapon on an ever changing battlefield,
it takes great training to use the pike
sucessfully. Those who master it however will find
both their defense and offensive manoeurvres are
very effective against the enemy, who will be
first to realise the true potential of this
decisive weapon?
