Swimming and Other Questions

[The Witch King of Angmar]

I read in the unit descriptions that they could swim and I was wondering if when a ship goes down will the units swim away to land automatically or will they just die? Also, do you have to tell them where to swim? Finally, will cavalry, if the units on them die, still be your horses or will the other teams capture them?

Thanks

I think ships need that so there are pros and cons of using ships. may be faster but you will lose your army.

Considering that they're wearing about 50 pounds of armor somehow i doubt that most units could escape from a sinking ship.

archers would have difficulty with their bowstrings

It said they could swim though so maybe they go on the unrealistic side for this feature.

Your saying that an archer swimming is unrealistic dude wouldent the archer just put is bow on his back?

[frankein_fish]

yes it would be the most realistic option the heavy troops will just sink like stones while the light troops will swim to the nearest beach.

Only certain units will be able to swim, heavily armored units wont be able to, but will be able to wade through shallow water.

After mounted units are killed, mounts can be captured by your enemies/allies, if they aren't captured they will remain yours.

ROFL but an orger can walk right through t because of its size...or a tree of war

Ok cool. I was worried for a second the game would be unrealistic.
