Korean - Song - HanChun - Yuan - Mongol cavalry - Mongol Infantry

[barocca]

tell me about them so i can add their names to the loc files so that i can get organised in advance.

(if you look through names file you will find all sorts of yari ashigaru, originally intended (and still will be) to represent various changes Oda clan made to organisation of ashigaru as "Sengoku Jidai" progressed.)

i want to preset the Korean, Song, Yuan, Han-Chun and Mongol cav now

also mongol infantry (which IS going to be severly limited in type) - their main strength is cav, dismounted mongols (mongol warriors) and 2 or 3 types of "slave/subjugated" spear infantry. (skirms, spear, pike)

PLUS any oddities for other infantry which we have not covered.

You mean names? I looked into the names file and saw a load of Japanese and Mongol names.
Could you clarify what you are looking for?

Hwarang could be translated as "Flower Knights" - not very intimidating i gotta tell ya,
a "social" order/group that are equiv. to chivalric knights in ideals,
and samurai in dedication and training.
famous for rivaling the Mongols in HA' skill

one must remember the Koreans fought the samurai to a standstill and thwarted their invasion(s)


// Korean Weapons / Unit Names

// Yedo = Sabre (single edge)
// YeGeom = Double Edged Sword
// SsangSoDo = Long Sword

// Jangchang = Long Spear

// Galgorichang = Hook spear (3m)
// Woldo = Halberd
// Hyeopdo = Short Halberd

// Deungpae = Shield and Javelin

// Kon bong = Staff

// Gi chang = Cavalry Spear
// Bonguk geom = Double Edged Cavalry Sword = see Hwarang
// Masang Woldo = Cavalry Halberd
// Hwarang = Horse Archer Elite


stuff like that
(I had JUST finsihed research and came here to ask your opinion, and hey presto !)
suitable unit names? IE Deungpae Skirmishers ??
another might be Korean Elite Archer = Dismounted Hwarang ??

[^HUN^]

There you go again, amazing stuff!! The names sound great. I'd been thinking of a Hwarang archer unit too.
Elite unit ....Armed with a powerful short bow and a sword as a secondary weapon.
