Hello dear modders (or lurkers !).
I'm slowly, but surely, polishing my small mod for an eastern Europe inspired nation for Dom3.
I would like to build for them a War Wagon, a bit like the Hussites and the Poles used, but slightly modified, to conform to Dom 3. It would consist of a wagon, with 2 horses and a crew of 3 or maybe 4 soldiers.
The armament would be a halebard (maybe something longer) and 2 or 3 crossbows. Or 1 or 2 crossbows and a large shield.
It should be able to resist against a knight charge.
As there is no true war machines in Dom3 and the engine is not really suited for them I'm thinking about maybe, 2 or 3 units, with 10hp each, once the first is killed the second one remplaces it (with one crew and a weapon less) until there is no crew. However there is a problem as the warwagon would be probably size 4 and it would be too easly destroyed by archers. Maybe the war wagon should have some parry value to help protect of incoming missliles ? And probably a good defense stat as it's difficult to hit somebody hiding before a one or two meter wall of wood. I would probably give however only basic protection as the soldiers were rather poorly armored and once hit should die easly
The other problem would be the horses. A smart enemy would try to take them down first i imagine. (In reality the war wagons fighted immobile, but Dom3 let me do what i like
)
There is probably more problems like how should it work against magic etc..
What's your opinion, suggestions or ideas ?
Thanx
