Good points. That's why I'm investing in cavalry. Hard to hit and are very flexible. You could take on one of the vacant countries and then radically change their weapons stockpile because, say its current leader is very conservative. I think that could work.

There's also the fact that training somebody to be an archer takes waaaay longer than teaching them to stand in a line and fire a musket. Plus bayonets = bad time for horsies.

The outdated army trait seems to refer to more outdated gunpowder weapons, like wheel locks and such. To be all 'lolmyoutdatedarmypwnsyermodernone' kinda destroys the entire point of it existing.

The other thing to remember about muskets over medieval weaponry is the fear factor, a massed volley of musket fire backed up with extensive cannon bombardment would break the majority of armies, especially those of lesser-developed nations that hadn't experienced it before en masse.

Such as Khan :p

Of course I wont attack them with cavalry when their still organized. I'll use the cavalry charge when they're at the breaking point, when they're just about ready to rout. The shock factor of a group of horse riders carrying blades about to slice your necks while the foot soldiers are just about to finish you off would force you to run. Not even the Czar of Valm could stop his men retreating from such a sight.

the Czar of Valm would personally vanquish the cavalry himself, only using a handful of acorns and his genitalia. As a true man should.

You've literally just become worse than Valm. You're officially Hitler. Attila the Hitler.

Yeah, I've have to give them ten inches of steel armor and horses made out of pure iron if I'm going to do that. Is that possible by the way? Because Terhideron wouldn't stand a change against knights in medieval power armor.

Edit: Apparently, Valm has beat me to the punch.

By the way, since there are a lot of us in the new world, are we spreading our vile germs to them. I mean when the Dutch colonized Malaysia, a hell of a lot of people died from small pox. Maybe Khan is about to be hit by a pandemic...

Hey we've had some experience of firearms! It wont be as terrible as real life first encounters.

Edit: No No No No No the new world has germs of its own that will kill your settlers too in this case.

Don't worry, you guys have medicinal plants and cocaine. That will ease the pain of the hundreds of boils growing out of the emperor's body. >:)

The royal families of Bennipolis are good friends with a certain Medea and they want to give a nice robe to your king.

Give 'em to those Terheridonians cutting their way to your capital. They'll have more use for them. ;D

I have to admit, this sight is scary as fuck. And it's only a bloody picture.

But, my army would avoid open combat whenever possible, focusing on haressment, skirmishing, and Parthian Tactics.
