Short History of the Genoese Crossbowmen
Genoa was dominated by the duke of Milan in Medieval ages. He often drilled Genoese in his armies because of their natural talent for using the crossbow. Milan never participated in the Wars of the Roses though it could be possible that some of them were used as mercenaries in this war.

Also, if you need historical information and all that stuff, add me, I'm a descendant of Vlad III the Impaler (Dracula) himself and I can provide you with all that history.

Well, a soldier of his. They were like...Plain soldiers. Also they KINDA look a bit like your gallo class. I think their helmets are nearly the same.

Oh sorry, Just realised AoE II is Age of Empires, one of my favourite games :)

Umm...Wallachians weren't Magyars. They were well...Wallachians, the inhabitans of the Lower Danube and the successors of the Dacians. It is true that Magyars took the lower Danube part for a while but Wallachians emerged in the 13th-14th century. (P.S Don't kill me, I don't know what AoE II is xD)

Haha you mean from AoE II the Forgotten? x) Anyway I will think of it however you must know the Wallachians (Magyarii) had very different armour types than the armour types that are available in the game

Eastern Europe you say...I've been thinking about Wallachian warriors a lot. Could you do something on that?
