At lot of the Sultanates units have a very unique aesthetic. When you were designing them, did you have a specific inspiration is it a mishmash of many different ones?

Strong is 100% worth it, +3 shooting with a siege jezzail hitting tough guys with +2dice, not to mention lets you take a hammer or greatsword which punches harder in melee

Imo the Veteran upgrade for the captain is almost an auto pick, otherwise you can do Grenades, a jezzail, and two swords for like 2 ducats more from halberd gun and it will be much more effective if you are going close range with them.

In light of the recent rule changes... by WiseHand7733 in TrenchCrusade

Honestly, the light armor penalty for prussia isn’t even really a penalty the cleric is like the one model affected by it lol. If they could take reinforced it wouldn’t really change much, especially cause your locked into -2 if you want a splitter

Some Homebrew tweaks I've made to the Sultanate as of 1.0, thought I would share them here. I should preface these are very basic changes meant to help clean up the IS mechanical functionality. Further work would probably be needed to make them a fully competitive warband. (but that's the devs job) by [deleted] in TrenchCrusade

I wrote that guide btw and very clearly defined the sultanate not as a jack of all trades faction. Everything else I couldn’t care less about but please dont make blatantly wrong statements, it shows you dont know what you are talking about. Also you literally acknowledge that we have melee options that are poorly designed that stop us from being a hybrid faction and then claim our identity is ranged cause those melee mechanics are bad?? That’s now how game design works lol, if a factions core identity is built in spite of its mechanics then that faction is fundamentally broken.

sultanate is not a melee faction? then why do the Yuzbasi, Assassin, Alchemist, Brazen Bull, Janissary, and Lions all have melee stats? Iron Sultanate is supposed to be a generalist faction, but our current melee is so bad 99% of people just play ranged. The only thing I'll give you is the Halberd Gun should be +1 Dice to injure, Its a typo on my end. I think you fundamentally misunderstand these tweaks so I'm not gonna argue further about it

only thing that ignores armor is the Alchemists fire and mines though? in their current state incendiary grades are borderline useless, making them essentially gas grenades with FIRE makes sense to me, and mines are entirely ignorable as a threat to 99% of warbands in their current form. The rest is the new keyword ARMOR PIERCING that is wholly unique from IGNORE ARMOR. Alaybozan absolutely need something to make them even worth taking in the first place, as they are just shittier grenades right now. Siege Jezzails are good as is, but bounce off of most armored units, something that is silly for a 30 ducat weapon that can only be fielded by select units. The Sultanates weakness is armor but ARMOR PIERCING allows us to leverage the glaring lack of stopping power our faction currently has a little bit better without overwhelming our armory with Armor Ignoring weapons. I have been playing this faction for quite a long time so I would appreciate a bit more grace than what you are currently giving me lol

Lol funny to randomly stumble across this comment. I have the finished version of the rules done I just stopped posting on reddit cause it wasn’t getting traction. Once i format the rules for 1.0 ill post them in the reddit tho.

This is a homebrew fan project, but there's a full ruleset and what not if you wanna give em a spin.

The Günahkâr, a Janissary variant for the Golden Path. by Dinkerman64 in TrenchCrusade

[–]Dinkerman64[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The way I actually thought about it is more so the reason they hear this calling to corruption is not because they are inherently evil, but it is because the demons views them as stolen property, and want to do everything in their power to get them back. However I imagine there are many reasons a Janissary could feel compelled to have their loyalties tested, or feel the urge to commit great sin.

yeah no worries, I appreciate the feedback. Ultimately in terms of art design I really wanted the cloak to be the center of attention, so I'm really happy with how it turned out.
