Albanian mercenaries - stradiot IMPLEMENTED
The stratioti or stradioti were mercenary units from the Balkans recruited mainly by states of southern and central Europe from the 15th century until the middle of the 18th century..
The stratioti were pioneers of light cavalry tactics during this era. In the early 16th century light cavalry in the European armies was principally remodeled after Albanian stradioti of the Venetian army, Hungarian hussars and German mercenary cavalry units they employed hit-and-run tactics, ambushes, feigned retreats and other complex maneuvers. In some ways, these tactics echoed those of the Ottoman sipahis and akinci.they had some notable successes also against French heavy cavalry during the Italian Wars...They were known for cutting off the heads of dead or captured enemies, and according to Commines they were paid by their leaders one ducat per head.
Unit stats:

Re: Albanian mercenaries - stradiot
Mercenaries are originally experts and veteran's at this.
Well their stats pay for their vanishing...I just suggest to balance condottiero or varangian
This unit is just a mix of light cavalry(unit) & a tiny bit of heavy knight and will be useful at capturing early TC's aswell as defending.
I didn't really copy the reference I stopped halfway..so

Re: Albanian mercenaries - stradiot
Hmm half true right now I just use some AoS knights and swordsmans to make different sprites.
Well when I was a newbie at doin sprites I use some of ur sprites cus they look good and I just edit them.

Re: Albanian mercenaries - stradiot

I kept the shield because some reference on google has a shield.

Re: Albanian mercenaries - stradiot
Okay,thankyou.
Now..how about the stats? Does any one agree/disagree with the stats?.
This would be a stronger elite light cavalry.

Re: Albanian mercenaries - stradiot
i like the stats, they are pretty similar to hungarian huzar, another unit from the same years...
looks like a stronger version...so i think its fine
it is even similar the image...dont u think?

Re: Albanian mercenaries - stradiot
I think so,like a much stronger Hungarian hussar but with a leaving..it's cheaper & stronger but it has leaving and can reach a money courier in seconds and return to the battlefield..
This will be a unit that will capture and defend early TCS with current stats..it will also work as a slaughterer of non-combatant & unprotected units also siege machines and light infants

Re: Albanian mercenaries - stradiot
Since hungarian huzar is underused...i think is a great idea...
Re: Albanian mercenaries - stradiot
I use him sometimes in my early time of playing but needs some buff.

Re: Albanian mercenaries - stradiot
Being afraid of overuse, I made him as light cavalry mercenary equivalent with added bonus - 18hp, 6power, 6 speed, 7 sight, bonuses copied from light cavalry, but additionally +70% vs mounted and +140% vs elephants.
Costs 2 with 5 leaving time, but to avoid being fast tc capturer can only be recruited from stables.

Re: Albanian mercenaries - stradiot
How about adding a building to train unique mercs such as condottiero,stradiots etc. ?

Re: Albanian mercenaries - stradiot
Armor is 0/1. Like light cavalry.
Bonuses of light cavalry are: +120% vs ranged, melee foot, siege machines and healers.
As for a building - as in many cases - no image, no idea to make it.
