That was a later period, but the Norman cavalary were still riding up to the shield wall, throwing javelins, poking at the line a bit, and then riding away. He gives the example of the Battle of Hastings.
There were no couched, heavy lance charges in warfare during this Viking period.
Lusted says cavalry in this era were much more about scouting and flanking. Speaking of which, no medieval knights either. No mont bailey castles though those are outside the era. None will be unique to any single point on the campaign map, but they are based on real life locations and you will see different map types in, say, Ireland versus Northern Britain.Ĭreative Assembly are aiming for variety, so you’ll see hill forts, Saxon river towns, older settlements with Roman walls, and so on. Anyway, major settlements will be represented in Thrones of Britannia by sixteen different battle maps. Minor battles are one of the things that will be affected by these mysterious campaign mechanics. The information about siege battles here only relates to major settlement battles. What Lusted mostly talked about was siege battles, tactics of the era, unit composition for the different factions, and a little bit about weather. They apparently all intersect with one another (so talking about one portion in isolation requires talking about the others), which is somewhat intriguing. However, it was stated that campaign mechanics will be talked about “next week”. Those hoping for details about the campaign side of things with Thrones of Britannia will have to wait a little longer, as none of that was really discussed here.
