i thought i played with the real viper but it was someone spoofing his account and cheating :(.Hey there, I'm the social media manager for the Age of Empires series, sorry to hear that you haven't been able to get in touch with anyone! The official Age forums (on ) and Discord are the fastest ways to get into contact with people on the community team. Our leaderboard is a 1:1 reflection of the actual game leaderboard (which funnily enough can't be browsed inside the game) that you can also see on. While I understand the idea and intentions it isn't practical. What would you think of this idea regarding the leaderboard ? If you look for Filthydelphia you should find them, as well as my many campaigns for normal Age of Empires II!īased on the April update release notes on : "Chieftains effect now also provides infantry with gold generation while attacking villagers, trade units, and monks.". You can find them at the official website ( ) or opening the game, going to the mod manager (the gear icon in the top right), and searching the titles. Weapons and Warfare in Renaissance Europe: Gunpowder, Technology, and Tactics, by Bert S.All New Custom Campaigns and a Classic Surprise! The Military Revolution: Military Innovation and the Rise of the West, 1500–1800, by Geoffrey Parker Such a warrior would have been far more suitable, especially when the military dominance of Spain coincided with the imperial age in the game.įirearms: A Global History to 1700, by Kenneth Chaseįrom Matchlocks to Flintlocks: Warfare in Europe and Beyond, 1500–1700, by William Urban The Tercio was a type of military formation used by the Spanish monarchy during the 16th and 17th centuries AD, and was initially divided into pikemen, swordsmen, and missile troops using gunpowder weapons. So what kind of unit could have been created instead? One idea could have been the Tercio, either as a pikeman or muskeeter. Additionally, the effectiveness of the arquebus/musket was generally found in volume, and I would argue horsemen would have been too few in number to provide the necessary weight of fire. Wheelock pistols were widely adopted by horsemen in the 17th century AD in Europe, and other cavalry came to use a shortened version of the musket called the carbine. That is not to say gunpowder weapons were never utilized by cavalry. The requirements of reloading the weapon, as well as the use of a lit match to fire it, made it very clumsy on horseback. The Conquistador is a mounted warrior equipped with an arquebus/musket, but arquebus/muskets were (based on the primary and secondary sources I have read) used only by footsoldiers in Western Europe. The Conquistador is historically inaccurate in that it falls into none of these categories. Now, within Age of Empires II, unique units gernerally have some grounding in reality, either in terms of a type of warrior a medieval culture was popularly known for or type of weapon that was utilized. One of the unique units if this faction is the Conquistador: In the game, the Spanish represent both the numerous independence states of the Reconquista, plus the unified monarchy of Castile and Aragon. Hello, those of r/badhistory! This is the next in my series of reviews focusing on Age of Empires II.
