Unique unit: Beoylr Unique Tech: Brutal Winter Banned Techs: Barracks: Eagle Warrior, Champion. Stable: Camel, Paladin. Archery Range: Arbalest. Blacksmith: Blast Furnace, Platemeail. Siege Workshop: Bombard Cannons, Capped Ram. University: Siege Engineers, Bombard Tower, Architecture. Monastery: Illumination. Dock: Heavy Demo ship, Galleon. Economic: Gold Shaft. Castle: Sappers. Wonder: St. Bazil's Cathedral Wonder: St. Bazil's Cathedral Civ Descreption: Quantity over quality! The Russians believe in cheap, numerous soldiers that flood an enemy formation. These soldiers are neither well trained or equiped. It is intimidating, however to see 100 two handed swordsmen charge your 30 champion formation. The Russians are noted for their largepopulation, so they can happily throw away 100's of soldiers to achieve victory. -DarckRedd [This message has been edited by DarckRedd (edited 09-11-2004 @ 05:15 PM).]

This is the closest I could get to replicating the Brutal Russian Winter. The eroding attacks of towers and castles would slow the attackers down, allowing Russia to pull together a counter attack with Beoylrs, infantry, and cavalry.D A R C K R C D D |
