In the first article you posted Bucellarii is a type of Roman troop. It says that even Persians were Bucellarii. Not had; were.
As you said, Gardingus seems way more appropiate, though that leaves open the question of Ostrogothic representation. But then, Persians are crusader cities in some Crusader-themed campaigns, so Gardingus is great
Yes – from what we know so far, they’re mainly based on Anglo-Saxons.
Maybe Saxons as well, although currently the only thing pointing to that is that they have mounted crossbowmen. Otherwise, Teutons probably.
Goths already cover Austria in the Barbarossa campaign, Saxons as Henry the Lion’s civ wouldn’t be that far off. Maybe swap the Hearth Dudes with a more modern UU in the scenarios but it might not be necessary, peasant militias probably fought in a very similar manner.
Yes, or at least give the new regional units to the Goths too… can you imagine the Huscarls alongside the Varangian Guards, the mounted crossbowmen, and also add the Longship…
No, but they will receive the Varangian Guard and the Longships…
That would make absolutely no sense at all.
Why would they? That makes no sense. Just because they are released in the same DLC doesn’t mean they need to get all the new Units.
Wei didn’t get Fire Lancers and Jurchens didn’t get Traction Trebuchets.
Isnt this harold the saxons army composition?huskarls his personal guard and varangians which is what huskarls should look like from a gaming point of view.
I think, I don’t remember, but this is what it says about the Battle of Hastings:
The numbers present at the battle are unknown as even modern estimates vary considerably. The composition of the forces is clear: the English army was composed almost entirely of infantry and had few archers, whereas only about half of the invading force was infantry, the rest divided equally between cavalry and archers. Harold appears to have tried to surprise William, but scouts found his army and reported his arrival to William, who marched from Hastings to the battlefield to confront Harold. The battle lasted from about 9 am to dusk. Early efforts by the invaders to break the English battle lines had little effect. Therefore, the Normans adopted the tactic of pretending to flee in panic and then turning on their pursuers. Harold’s death, probably near the end of the battle, led to the retreat and defeat of most of his army. After further marching and some skirmishing, William was crowned as king on Christmas Day 1066.
