Propose your own Regional Units

Another from Asleep-Emotion9161 on reddit

Partisan line

The first is a regional line of “Partisans” from the original Burgundian Flemish militia, I think this could be extended for Bohemia, Poland and Lituania, which all had Hussite uprises (less so in the last two) and for the Magyars, they could have a unique imperial upgrade called the “Black Army militia” using a polearm and a Pavise shield, typical of these mercenaries

I think is good for the burgundians and the bohemians and maybe for the Teutons ( German Peasants’ War in early XVI th century). For Poland, Lituania and Magyars maybe not.

Black Army paladin

the second proposed Magyar unique unit could be a “Black Army” paladin variant armed with a mace, these two Black Army units could be unlocked after the research of “Corvinian Army” unique tech.

Billhook

For Britons a unique halberdier variation that use a billhook, a very traditional British medieval weapon and maybe with more attack.

Norman Rider

For the Franks and Sicilians (forming the Normand kingdoms) I would like to give the “Norman Rider” a unique variation of the light cavalry with more range armor.

I dislike this concept, I already proposed a concept of unique unit replacement for the knight line for the Sicilians here :

Norman cavalry, unique unit for the Sicilians

Norman cavalry, unique unit for the Sicilians Many civilizations included old one gain two unique units. I suggest to replace the Knight line for the Sicilians by the Norman cavalry line (Norman knight and Norman cavalier). For the model use the Robert Guiscard hero unit, so there is only one new skin to make. Norman knight use the Robert Guiscard skin and Norman cavalier use the same skin with a more armored horse. My idea is based on the Norman cavalry of the Bayeux tapestry. Those riders…

Gallowglass

For Celts I had already presented a two handed swordman/champion replacement, maybe with faster movement and attack rate but with less armor.

Auxiliary

For Goths and Huns, the barbarian groups that fought against or with Rome, a unique skirmisher replacement called the “Auxiliary” to represent the warriors that adopted Roman tactics, maybe with the same stats as normal skirmishers but without a minimum range and even a melee attack.

I don’t like much this unit. Visually they look good but in practice removing the minimum range of the skirmisher must be reserved for the Incas. Also I proposed the Angon thrower as a unique unit in the topic for the migration period DLC who can fit the same role.

Gendarme

For Burgundy, but specially for the Franks (together forming the kingdom of France) I would like to give a unique imperial super-heavy cavalry unit: the “Gendarme”, because I consider that the ultimate cavalry civ of the Franks has been lost with the years. This could be not just a paladin replacement but a cavalry with a unique charging mechanic with a lance that give a massive one use extra attack and 1 range, then the lance is destroyed and the unit use a normal sword, then after a cooldown the player can pay a modest amount of wood (maybe 10 or 15 wood) for a new lance and another extra strong attack maybe for a high value target.

Good concept but this need to automate the cost of wood. I think we can pay the cost of wood in two manner :

1 Select a single unit or a group of unit an click on a button to pay the cost.

2 Adding a button in the stable. Like the button in the mill who can replenish the farms, this button in the stable can replenish the gendarme. With this we can automate the process without more micromanaging.

Jinete

Lastly, for the Spanish and Portuguese (the Iberian kingdoms under Umayyad rule) a unique scout line replacement called the “Jinete”, similar to the Genitour, this is because these Iberian civs adopted the tactics of the Umayyad and also the word comes from the “Zenete” Berber tribe as far as I know. However, this will not be another “mounted skirmsher”, instead a light cavalry with a recharging range attack and a normal mele mode.

I dislike this concept because we have already the Genitour of the Berbers. Also as a french player The Genitour of the Berbers is already called Jinete in the french version, this will create confusion. I think it’s better to use the already existing Genitour unit making him a regional unit.
