Already been there, havent found much and I've looked through all of Cains pictures before too, havent said yet, but it's an exellent jobs his done.

Yeah for many, in fact its only thought that 5% of the male population in the world now can actually pull back the Longbow and loose an arrow without failing or falling over ect. And even few than that to actually keep it up at the rate they did. There bones showed unbelivable bone growth, only developed nowadays by the most dedicated body builders. But still any stats on them yet?

Ok, cheers, however in real life the French should of won the battle of Agincourt, the French numbered 36,000 (at least and many hundreds comming throughout the course of the battle) to the English 5,900, 5,000 of which were Longbowmen. All the French had to do was march on in an orderly manner towards the English, whos arrows would be not be very effective against the best plate armour at the time even with the Short Bodkin Arrow Heads, untill roughly 20-30 yards away. (However poorer armour made could be pieced at ranges of 100 yards) Although it is also worth mentioning that the archers (Longbowmen) would be good enough to aim for weaker/lesser protected points in the armour e.g. the arm pit or groin. At ranges of up to 70 yards (of course this all depends on the archer, most if not all archers on the 1415 Campaign leading to Agincourt, used a Longbow with a draw weight of 12-14 stone, being able to loose from 12-18 arrows a minute).

Longbowmen were used in just about every engagement in the 100 years war.

I see and thanks for the help so far. I'm a Longbow/100 years war fanatic, know just about all you'd ever want to know about it. I've seen some videos of Agincourt and it's obvious that they havent made the odds 6:1 (as it was in real life) and it doesnt seem that the Longbowmen there made much of an effect as they did. To Cain look on totalwar.org.pl (Then go to English, then units, then go through the different country's some interesting stuff there. However i don't know the stats and effectiveness of them. Cheers

Thanks but i can't Download the demo, geting a new computer before i get the game, this one wont be able to handle it :'(

Can any one give me some news on the Longbowmen, There different types? and some screen shots of there stats (If possible) I was dissapointed in the last game where they were so poor (Compared to real life). By the way i have seen totalwar.org.pl but i cant read polish so i could make much sence of the units from there. Thanks.
