Adds Units and Techs changes focused on Medieval Era to FreeThinker's Extended Naval Combat.
Of course you need Extended Naval Combat to use this mod properly
In Ancient Era : Moved Battering Ram to « Carpentry », increased land vision range of Scouts and Runners by 1.
- Added a ranged unit who need line of sight called "Slingers" unlocked by "Organized Warfare" which evolve into Crossbowmens
In Classical Era :
- Ballista strenght reduced by 2 and range increased by 1
- Added an hybrid unit called "Skirmishers" unlocked by "Conquest" and an elite unit called "Cataphracts" unlocked by "Mounted Warfare"
- Crossbowmens have they range increased by 1
In Medieval Era :
- Trebuchet strenght reduced by 1 and range increased by 1
- Added an unit called "Sappers" unlocked by "Medieval Warfare", can attack walls, attack without retaliation if he don't move and can also dug-in.
- Added "Macemens" an infantry charge unit
- Added a Tech called "Freehold" which unlock Hamlets and an unit called "Yeomans" (evolution of Skirmishers)
In Early Modern Era :
- Sappers evolve into Mortar
- Added a Tech called "Land Clearance" which unlock a Guerilla Gunner called "Rangers" (evolution of Yeomens, Bowmens and Longbowmens), also added +1 production for forest and +1 food for plains.
- Guerrilla Gunners have less range and less power than usual Gunners but they have indirect fire.
Notes :
- Pathfinder units also ignore zone of control
- Shield paradoxal illustration : In game, Skirmishers and Yeomans have Shield but it's not the case for Macemens
Battuta patch :
Now like vanilla after Battuta update, Khmer's Dhanvī-gaja is resistant in melee
For consistency all mounted ranged units can move after attack
Compatibility:
I suggest to load this mod just after ENC.
Compatible with Cobble's 2 and 14 era star requirement as long as you don't use version 0.1
Vanilla Improvement Project : Compatible but I recommend you to load VIP before and to use the compatibility patch with ENC of course.
Please tell me if you find a specific compatibility issue.

Sorry I cannot reproduce it, are you sure you load them in the right order ? (VIP -> ENC -> Medieval Siege or Compatibility Patch)
1
are you sure you loaded ENC before Medieval Siege?
1
Do the unit upkeep costs need to be adjusted? My scouts auto-upgraded to antic scouts when I changed to the ancient era and my economy was wrecked with the 6 per turn per unit upkeep.
1
Strange, Antic Scoots normally appear only after you researched "Conquest" and I cannot reproduce the bug ... How exactly did you make your neolithic tribe auto-upgrade into Antic Scoots ? Or there is something that I misunderstood.
1
My neolithic tribes auto upgraded into antic scouts as you said. I should note that in addition to this mod and ENC, I had 3 other mods enabled but I would not expect any of them to have any effect on unit upgrades.
- 2 and 14 era star requirement
- end game science conversion
- city cap + expansion extras
1
Well you were wrong, I've tested and there is an incompatibility with "2 and 14 era star requirement" !
I don't know how it works because the bug doesn't appear with other mods that change neolithics stars (like my TES).
Sorry I can't do anything about it, because it only depends on the other mod.
Edit : 2 and 14 Era Stars have now a version 0.2 which is compatible (not primary so you have to manually install it)
1
The same have happened with me and i don't use "2 and 14 era star requirement". I was only using VIP and ENC, and the compatibility patch, ofc.
1
Really interesting marcosperes55, I a have found that your problem shows up only if you load ENC and Medieval Siege before VIP ! Loading VIP in first place solve the problem.

I'm gonna try this. Thanks!

I am having a bug that seems to happen with the hybrid units. The skirmishers were working fine for awhile then when I started getting Yeomans they would fail to load when entering combat or sometimes even when merging or separating from armies. This causes the game to lock up. I had to go through and delete any skirmishers and Yeomans to stop it from happening. Not sure if this happens with any other units from this mod.
Other mods I am using:
- ENC
- Cobble's 2 and 14 era stars (new version)
- End game science conversion
- IER
- City Cap + expansion extras

Hi, thanks for your comment, indeed 2.3 had this kind of bug which does not appear every time. The 3.0 seem to fix it because before my upload, I have done many test with it and it was fine, but maybe I was just lucky. So tell me if the bug is still there.
1
Thanks, I'll try it again when I start my next game and let you know if I find any issues.
1
would you know if this compatible with VIP (assuming I have the ENC compatibility patch enabled)?
1
Well, I haven't found any incompatibility yet. Tell me if you found any !
Edit : Load Order issue : you must load VIP before anything else to solve it.
1
Hey there! Is the mod compatible with triple alliance (sup+vip+enc)? It is not working for me, but it may be the load order. Should i apply this mod after the compatch?
1
Well, I've tried it today, I loaded VIP -> SUP -> INC -> MC -> Triple alliance. Started a game, everything looked good... What wasn't working exactly when you did it ?
2
Ahhh, I see, I will try messing with the order around. It just didn't apply the mods with my current order (which is Super > VIP > ENC > MedSiege > TripleAll). Maybe some other small mod messing with it, I will try it soon and report back any "findings".

Hey there, great mod, really adds to medieval combat variety, though it lasts only a handful of turns most of the time, even with TES.
Not sure its your mod or ENCs latest updates, but i found a duplicated siege artillery by the industrial era, also many duplicates on the tech screen, most notable the crossbow unlocks. It could also be any other mods as well, just a light heads up to see if anyone also finds this odd occurrence. It is very inconsequential and at worst it just clutters the recruitment screen a bit, but honestly, a single unit duplicated is barely noticeable.
Another headsup to the latest updates to ENC that added bowmen to the medieval era, though im not entirely certain how. Because i only onticed it mid game when my archers autoupdated to bowmen.
A nice thing would be to change either the bownen or the crossbowmen upgrade family (other than just plain ranged) so you can keep both units at the same time. I did a test mod for this and it worked somewhat well, mainly for swordsmen and horsmen, so it is doable with low impact on other mods and gameplay. I might just release my test mod one of these days.

About duplicates it's a consequence of ENC updates, the last version fix it (for a time). And about crossbowmen, I thought separate family was already the case with ENC, I'll check it after ENC's Battuta patch !
