Nueva entrada, ahora toca conocer a los shurmanos
El imperio Hesatian que tienen una pinta de practicar el medievo.... fans de las cargas de caballeria colina abajo contra pobres hordas de goblins indefensos aunque no estan mancos en infanteria pesada (pero carecen de buenas tropas de leva para emergencias) pero debiles en disparo y aun mas en tropas de escaramuza por lo que son mas de playa y menos de montaña y bosque
"Strategy: Hammer and Anvil.
Strengths:
Large numbers of heavy cavalry, including
powerful Heavy Knights. Backed up by
heavy infantry and crossbowmen.
Weaknesses: Heavy cavalry are very expensive.
Few professional archers.
Very few recon units. Armies are extremely vulnerable if lured into forests or mountains due to lack of light infantry. Poor quality levies."
"Helsatia possesses the best cavalry forces in the game. If used properly, their heavy infantry can hold goblin hordes in place while knights trap and smash them. But knights are expensive and they can never be everywhere at once and Helsatian armies tend to be the smallest in the game. Additionally, be very careful how you deploy your two Jager companies. As a Helsatian commander you are always short on recon - which also makes it more difficult to discover the goblin's t"
Es un ejercito pequeño, con tropas muy caras pero donde el choque es su fuerte con la mejor caballeria del juego.
In total, the Helsatian army is composed of 2,704 soldiers.
4 Leaders, protected by an additional 200 knights.
100 Heavy Knights
600 Knights
800 Heavy Infantry (Men At Arms/Grenzers)
900 crossbowmen/Archers
Lideres
Parece una especie de caballeria pesada pero solo disponible en tamaño compañia y aparentemente menos capaz que la pesada pero mas barata aunque el Graf aporta 20% de bonus a las tropas en el hexagono.
"Due to its large and wealthy feudal nobility, Helsatia's leaders are escorted by a bodyguard of knights. This means that unlike their Westdalian counterparts, Helsatian leaders can move fast and their guards double as heavy cavalry."
Caballeria
Tan cara que no te la podras permitir toda
"Helsatia's knights are the pride and glory of the empire. They are brave, talented and hardened by constant warfare against Goblins, Elves as well as their fellow men. In fact, there are far too many knights available to Helsatian commanders to possibly buy them all."
Interesante esa infanteria fronteriza mas potente en defensa que en ataque.
"Helsatian heavy infantry come in two types. Defensive Grenzer regiments and Men at Arms regiments that are suited for both attack and defense."
Tropas de disparo
Como ya se dijo punto debil de este ejercito.
"Crossbowmen make up the bulk of Helsatia's fire troops. They do maintain a small corps of professional archers, but fire troops are far less important to the Helsatian Army than they are to Westdale."
Jagers
Aqui si que estan muuuuuy cortos lo que les pasa factura fuera de situaciones de combate puro y duro y les hace debiles para combatir en terreno complicado.... dos unidades de gran valor y que hay que usar con cuidado.
"Two companies of Jagers are the only professional light infantry possessed by Helsatia. Use them wisely"
Levas
Poco que decir, lanceros y arqueros para rellenar huecos y poco mas, tal vez buenas tropas de guarnicion para no malgastar tropas de mas valor en este tipo de missiones.
"Helsatian levies are poorly trained and poorly equipped. They consist primarily of levy spears and levy archers. Semi-professional levies like Town Watch are rare in Helsatia."
Ejemplo de regimientos, destaca lo de los lideres en unidades de combate que se pueden añadir a los regimientos, fijaros en la primera unidad de cada regimiento, aparece 1 Graf y 1 Markgraf, es una cosa interesante el que una compañia pueda tener mas de un tipo de tropas, sin llegar a regimientos ya dentro de compañias existe variedad.
"The large number of knights in the Helsatian army makes it very easy for them to build combined arms unit groups. Alternatively, multiple regiments of knights can be merged together to form truly devastating cavalry forces. Also remember, unlike their goblin enemies, human leader units can be part of unit groups. Here are a few examples of Helsatian unit groups often used by beta testers:"
Tipos de tropas especiales de esta nacion
Caballeros pesados
Heavy Knights are the undisputed masters of mounted combat. Few can withstand the fury of their charge. There is only 1 regiment of Heavy Knights available. Send them where you expect the fighting to be toughest and watch your enemies flee in terror.
Graf
Lideres con tropas de regalo...
"Grafs are the lowest rank of feudal leadership in Helsatia. Like all human
leaders they grant a 20% combat bonus to all units who are in the same hex as them. But this only works as long as the Graf is still alive.
Every Graf is escorted by a company of knights, so they are not only capable leaders in battle, but also effective heavy cavalry."
Grenzers
"Grenzers are the professional border guard corps of Helsatia. They are versatile heavy infantry who specialize in defense."
Jagers
Pocos si, pero con mas peligro que Rambo con un machete oxidado en la jungla
"Jagers are the elite skirmish and recon specialists of the Helsatian army. They fulfill the same role as Westdalian rangers, but there are far fewer of them. Like their ranger counterparts, Jagers are subject to several special rules.
They fight like light infantry, but move like light cavalry. In addition to this,
they move through rugged terrain such as forests and mountains much faster than normal units."
Caballeria de leva
Por lo que leo las levas van a ser unidades mixtas, con arqueros, lanceros e incluso caballeria.
"
Levies from Helsatian towns and villages with very high economy will occasionally include Levy Horse companies. These horsemen are nothing to get too excited about in battle. But they can be used for recon and as cavalry for combined arms if knights are not available."
Constantemente hacen referencia a Westdalian, imagino que sera otra nacion humana a punto de salir y que apunta a ser una nacion tipo Robin Hood con mas orientacion a la escaramuza y a robar a los ricos para darselo a los pobres
Despues tocaran mas en profundidad el tema de las levas y las unidades comunes aparte de o presentar una nueva nacion o a las bestias... cucal a mano señores aunque las arañas parecen made in Australia asi que vendran con barra de vida y solo moriran por lanzallamas
Por cierto ya mencionan a un pesado que no hace mas que darles la chapa
"That's it for Helsatia today! The next dev blog will focus on the basics of the human armies. Including information about the various common units such as
Knights and Men at Arms, as well as a detailed discussion of
how levies work. After that, let me know what you guys want next: the
next faction introduction or the dev blog on beasts? I have a feeling that nomada_squadman45 would enjoy the beast dev blog wink"
