Unit I'd liked Scotland to have

[Rosvo-Rolle lft 6s]

You guys know that elite spearman unit what Teutonic and Wales have?

I'd love if Scotland had that unit, especially since game itself says Scotland has powerful pike- and spear units.

Your thoughts?

Scotland doesn't really need another powerfull infantry unit. It needs everything else.

It would replace Armoured swordsmen and Feudal Knights.

Armoured spearmen would also work with Scottish army.

They're basically made to lock enemy in one place with their high defense and good shield, so other units would outflank enemy.

Scotland has good light cavalry and infantry, and Highlander Nobles do this work good as well.

Your spearmen would be good if they replaced the Noble Pike or the Noble Sword.

I'd prefer noble swordsmen to be replaced, since Scotland's known for their pikes and all that.

I wish Scotland had the SCOTTISH longbowmen that France has. I want to mod the game to add them myself, but it's way harder to add a unit to a faction in this game compared to Rome: TW.

Scotland should have a unit called "Gingers" that are just invisible people with floating red hair

Nah, I think Scotland should have some kind of weakness. Having good light cavalry, spear- pike units and missiles would be overkill, TBH.

And besides, Highlander archer nobles are decent.

They're actually quite pathethic in comparison to some units from the Eastern factions. Heck, Egyptian Desert Archers deal more missile damage than the Highlander Archer Nobles.

I was talking about their overall usability.

I remember them holding well against Chivalric Knights on melee in multiplayer battle.

They even won Noble Knights all by themselves one time.

Then you've been fighting troops that were either tired or exhausted. Their melee capeabilities aren't something to write home about either. They're subpar in skirmish with their 5 missile damage and supbar in melee with their subpar melee attack and defence.

Face, they're the elite archers from Scotland and they're outclassed by tier 2 archers from other nations.

You got me.

Even if the Noble Highland Archers only had "long range missiles" without "effective against armor" they would be so much better. Yeah some might think that would make them OP, but it would probably cause Scotland players to be very defensive, which in MP can be countered by bringing a lot of artillery and more missile units.
