Light Infantry (ETW Unit)

2009-07-31T14:05:42Z

Mythman: /* Factional Differences */

{{Unit|image=[[Image:Light_infantry_thumbnail.jpg|Light Infantryman]]|Recruitable From=Unknown|Recruitment Cost=790|Upkeep Cost=190|Technology Needed=Light Infantry Doctrine}}

='''Light Infantry'''=

==Unit Description==
Light infantry are skirmishers who excel at harassing the enemy while screening the main body of an army.

Initiative, aggression and pace of action mark these men out and they consider themselves a cut above other infantry, regardless of the title they use. Light infantry, jaegers or chasseurs do not mindlessly follow orders, but pick and choose their own ground and targets, using such cover as they can find. They carry standard smothbore, muzzle-loading muskets, but they do not rely on massed volley fire: they deliberately aim (as well as they can, given that muskets lack sights), at individuals in the enemy ranks. This selective fire can disrupt enemy formations or drive off enemy skirmishers. Over time, developments in tactics and weapons make them very effective as snipers, as well as covering forces.

In 1700, many european nations did not recruit light infantry regiments. Each Line infantry regiment had a light company, but the mass volley was the proper way to employ firepower. As irregular light troops proved their worth and native tribes refused to co-operate by refusing to fight formal, set piece battles it was realised that collecting together light companies in ad hoc regiments was no longer enough. Direct recruitment of light infantry regiments began in earnest, and by the end of the 18th century every army fielded fast, light regiments.

==Statistics==

[[File:Light infantry stats.jpg]]

==Factional Differences==
Many factions own unique light infantry like the Austrian Jaegers and the British Rangers.

Another version is the British [[Green Jackets (Empire Unit)| Green Jackets]]

==Tactics==

Light Infantry are best used to shield an armies advance.

Early in the battle send a line forward to stall the enemies advance.
Due to the extra range Light Infantry have it is possible to pick off some enemy soldiers before falling back.

This way you can have zero casualties whilst inflicting some on the enemy.

Light Infantry can also deploy spike to protect hard points from Calvary attack.

Heavy Cavalry (ETW Unit)

{{Unit|image=[[Image:Heavy_Cavalry_thumbnail.jpg|A Heavy Calvalryman]]|Recruitable From=Military Academy|Recruitment Cost=1020|Upkeep Cost=300|Technology Needed=None}}

='''Heavy Cavalry'''=

==Unit Description==
These cavalrymen see themselves as elite. It is their job to smash into enemy units and destroy them utterly.

Heavy cavalry are so called to distinguish them from the light cavalry forces. It is not the job of heavy cavalry to pursue enemies. It is there lot to use their speed and weight against enemies, battering them into breaking by shock of impact. To this end, they are usually armed with fearsome heavy swords that are quite capable of skewering a man or carving him in two. This role often means that heavy cavalry are held as a reserve by a wise general, so that they can be used to batter a hole in a critically weakened part of an enemy line.

Historically, there was debate during the period about the purpose of cavalry forces. Some generals favoured having their men close with the enemy and use "cold steel" for its terrifying morale impact. Britain's John Churchill favoured this approach, keeping his men short of ammunition while on campaign so that they weren't tempted to use any bullets in battle! The other school of thought, naturally enough, favoured using cavalry with firepower to break enemy formations. Heavy cavalry did, therefore carry carbines and pistols, depending on the army they served in.

Death's Head Hussars (ETW Unit)

2009-05-30T21:43:18Z

Mythman: New page: {{Unit|image=Hussar|Recruitable From=Unknown|Recruitment Cost=990|Upkeep Cost=290|Technology Needed=None}} ='''Hussars'''= ==Unit Description== Hussars are...

{{Unit|image=[[Image:hussar_thumbnail.jpg|Hussar]]|Recruitable From=Unknown|Recruitment Cost=990|Upkeep Cost=290|Technology Needed=None}}

='''Hussars'''=

==Unit Description==
Hussars are light cavalry,used as skirmishers and scouting ahead of an army.

These superb horsemen are a force that can be used as a screen by the main army, or for strategic scouting to locate the enemy. They are armed with smooth sabres and smoothbore carbine muskets. Their gaudy, almost popinjay uniforms should not lead enemies to underestimate them as mere dandies - these are trained, disciplined and dangerous soldiers.

Hussars have a certain swashbuckling attitude towards the business of warfare, and the bandit origins of the Hungarian "huszárok" are certainly evident. Even non-Hungarian hussars cultivate a slighty barbarous air, and little private or enemy property is safe when they are around! Oddly, the were unusually democratic, and troopers expected to be consulted by their officers before attacking the enemy, again probably a legacy of their brigand heritage.

Historically, many nations adopted hussars after the Austrian type proved successful, and military fashions were influenced by the hussar's splendid and elaborate uniforms. Hussar uniforms became slightly caricatures, but remained very fashionable and popular, particularly with the ladies - perhaps it was the very tight breeches that were so appealing.

==Statistics==

[[File:Hussar stats.jpg]]

==Factional Differences==
Unknown at this time.

==Tactics==

Hussars are fast, lightly armed Light Calvary.

They excel at cutting down routing soldiers, however they are also good strike troops.
Hussars can take on light targets like Light Infantry, Skirmishers, Artillery and Guerrillas.

Short, quick raids are the best tactic used with these guys.

For example Hussars can quickly zip round the enemy and take out their Artillery.
Then the Hussars retreat to your line or pick off another target.

[[Image:Thirdagetotalwarbannerc.jpg|center|300px|TATW Screenshot]]

[[Third Age: Total War]] is a [[Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms]] total conversation about the conflicts in Middle-earth at the end of the Third Age.

It lets the player take part in a war of Good against Evil, with them being able to join either side. The faction list includes Gondor and the Dwarves on the side of Good, and Mordor on the side of Evil.

The mod features an accurate map of Middle-earth as it was in the Third Age, including 114 settlements taken straight from Middle-earth lore and completed with several fictional locations as well as famous places like the Black Gate, Minas Tirith and many more. The units have been created based on the lore of Middle-earth, with visual cues taken from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.

A new campaign, battle AI and unit recruitment based on culture, as well as regional recruitment, serve to increase the difficulty of the campaign. The faction list includes Gondor, Rohan, the High and Silvan Elves, the Dwarves, Eriador, Dale, Isengard, Mordor, Rhun, Harad and the Orcs of the Misty Mountains, each faction with its own strengths and weaknesses.

The mod's appearance has been altered in almost every way compared to MIITW Vanilla, featuring an almost complete rework of the 2D and 3D design and many new sounds and music tracks, including the Lord of the Rings movie soundtrack.

This modification comes with an installer and is completely mod-foldered.

One can view some screenshots of the mod [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=254877 here] and download it [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=253976 here].

[[Image:Thirdagetotalwarbannerc.jpg|center|300px|TATW Screenshot]]

[[Third Age: Total War]] is a [[Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms]] total conversation about the conflicts in Middle-earth at the end of the Third Age.

It lets the player take part in a war of Good against Evil, with them being able to join either side. The faction list includes Gondor and the Dwarves on the side of Good, and Mordor on the side of Evil.

The mod features an accurate map of Middle-earth as it was in the Third Age, including 114 settlements taken straight from Middle-earth lore and completed with several fictional locations as well as famous places like the Black Gate, Minas Tirith and many more. The units have been created based on the lore of Middle-earth, with visual cues taken from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.

A new campaign, battle AI and unit recruitment based on culture, as well as regional recruitment, serve to increase the difficulty of the campaign. The faction list includes Gondor, Rohan, the High and Silvan Elves, the Dwarves, Eriador, Dale, Isengard, Mordor, Rhun, Harad and the Orcs of the Misty Mountains, each faction with its own strengths and weaknesses.

The mod's appearance has been altered in almost every way compared to MIITW Vanilla, featuring an almost complete rework of the 2D and 3D design and many new sounds and music tracks, including the Lord of the Rings movie soundtrack.

This modification comes with an installer and is completely mod-foldered.

Medieval: Total War is the second game of the Total War series and was released 30th August 2002. It also had a highly succeessful sequel called [[Viking Invasion]].

==Blurb Description==

Medieval: Total War is a total war game that is set in the medieval period. Players can take command of 14 different factions and fight across Europe, Nothern Africa and the Middle East. Players also get the option to choose between three time periods : Early (1087), High (1205) or Late (1321).

===Campaign Play===
The player takes command of armies, agents and fleets to try and gain control over the known world. They move around the map taking it in turns with the AI to battle over provinces and strategic locations. Also, new to this game, engage in seige battles and fight your way through medieval castles to gain control of the land.

====The Campaign Map====
This game was the last to feature a 'risk' style map as the campaign map. The map covered most of Europe and North Africa, similar to Shogun it featured centralised building. This meant that all buildings were built at the town centre.

==Third Age: Total War==
[[Image:Thirdagetotalwarbannerc.jpg|center|300px|TATW Screenshot]]

[[Third Age: Total War]] is a [[Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms]] total conversation about the conflicts in Middle-earth at the end of the Third Age.

It lets the player take part in a war of Good against Evil, with them being able to join either side. The faction list includes Gondor and the Dwarves on the side of Good, and Mordor on the side of Evil.

The mod features an accurate map of Middle-earth as it was in the Third Age, including 114 settlements taken straight from Middle-earth lore and completed with several fictional locations as well as famous places like the Black Gate, Minas Tirith and many more. The units have been created based on the lore of Middle-earth, with visual cues taken from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.

A new campaign, battle AI and unit recruitment based on culture, as well as regional recruitment, serve to increase the difficulty of the campaign. The faction list includes Gondor, Rohan, the High and Silvan Elves, the Dwarves, Eriador, Dale, Isengard, Mordor, Rhun, Harad and the Orcs of the Misty Mountains, each faction with its own strengths and weaknesses.

The mod's appearance has been altered in almost every way compared to MIITW Vanilla, featuring an almost complete rework of the 2D and 3D design and many new sounds and music tracks, including the Lord of the Rings movie soundtrack.

This modification comes with an installer and is completely mod-foldered.

One can view some screenshots of the mod [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=254877 here] and download it [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=253976 here].

==The Map==

[[File:Third Age - Total War Map.jpg]]

Play on an extensive historically accurate map of Middle-earth as it was in the Third Age, including 114 settlements taken straight from Middle-earth lore and completed with several fictional locations.
Visit the wonders of Middle-earth, like the Three Towers, the Argonath or Durin's tower and see all the unique locations of Middle-earth like Minas Tirith, the Black Gate or Isengard. See the hills of Rohan, the huge forest of the Mirkwood and the dark ash of Mordor.

==The Factions==

[[File:Third Age -Total War Faction Icons.jpg]]

Play with all important factions of the Third Age, including Gondor, Rohan, High and Silvan Elves, Dwarves, Eriador, Dale, Isengard, Mordor, Rhun, Harad and the Orcs of the Misty Mountains.
Every faction has its own strengths and weaknesses, benefits and disadvantages on the battle as well as the campaign map. Decide if you want to face your enemy with a small, but trained and heavily armored army or if you count on masses of units to overrun your foes.
The unit design is based on visual references of the Lord of the rings movie trilogy, completed with fictional units and artwork, all based on the lore of Middle-earth.

==The Gameplay==

The end of the Third Age is a time where good and evil wage a decisive war for the final domination of Middle-earth.
Both ways, freeing the good people of Middle earth as well as bringing the world under the shadow will not be an easy task for the player.
A new campaign and battle AI will make the player's life much harder and a unit recruitment based on a cultural level and a regional recruitment requires strategically decisions and will slow down your expansion if not properly planned.
The AI will also receive certain bonuses like extra money or additional armies if they get in serious trouble to compensate the lack of human intelligence and the lack of income through missions.

==The Design==

In order to reflect the world of Middle-earth as good as possible, there is an almost complete rework of the 2D and 3D design, including the menu, the interface, the symbols and pictures and much more.
To create an even deeper atmosphere, all cultures have a unique set of music and unit sounds and voices were completely changed for many factions.
Lastly there is a huge amount of new videos, including the intro, the faction intros and many in-game events.

Mythman:

{{Unit|image=[[Image:Line infantry thumbnail.jpg|Line Infantryman]]|Recruitable From=Barracks|Recruitment Cost=1180|Upkeep Cost=Varies (See below)|Technology Needed=None}}

='''Line Infantry'''=

==Unit Description==
These musket-armed troops use massed volleys to break an enemy, relying on discipline to withstand any counter fire.

"Marching regiments" and "line battalions" make up the majority of units in European-style armies. They are so called because they form the lines of battle, not because they always deploy in lines. Indeed, over time the capabilities of line infantry should improve as new tactics, drills and weaponry are developed.

These soldiers carry muzzle-loading,smoothbore muskets firing lead balls as wide as a man's thumb. These innacurate weapons, effective only over 200 yards or so and when fired in massed volleys. The ability to fire and reload with machine-like regularity with shot and bullets flying and comrades falling all aroung is what wins battles.

Historically, in many armies colonels recieved a fee to raise regiments, which remained their personal property and commands. They jealously guarded thier right to appoint friends, relatives and hangers-on as regimental officers. This contractor system, however, allowed unscrupulous offiers to make handsome profits by pocketing the pay of non-existent soldiers. the better colonels did take a pride in their regiments, spending their fortunes on good uniforms and weapons. the capabilities of a "standard" line infantry unit therfore varied between nations and over time. It wasn't until the 1760's that anything approaching uniformity of drill, equipment and regulations became the norm.

Line infantry regiments remained unchanged throughout the period, and their organisational patterns still form the basis of modern military units.
