Hi,
I had this question already when I played the addon many years ago.
I would like to ask it now for the sake of keeping things documented.
What does the unit name "Moloyec" suppose to mean?
I speak Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and other Eastern European languages and there is no word like this. The closest one would be Ukrainian "молодець" (molodec'), Russian "молодец" (malad'ec) which means "a good guy". In archaic times it could be used in the meaning "hero" too. This is my guess that this word was misspelled.

I guess they meant "Mołojec", here is the dictionary definition:

Young cossack or cossack soldier.

I noticed a few errors in the cavalry statistics.
The description of the units says that most cavalry have 30% defense in the forest, but in reality they have as much as on flat terrain, i.e. 40% or 50%. This can be easily changed by adding the "-" sign next to the value. e.g. forest=-70.
The second issue concerns the translation into Polish of "Cuirassier". It looks like it was translated mechanically, i.e. because a cuirass means armor, it means "armored" (pancerny) in Polish. Shouldn't it just be "kirasjer"? This translation hurts my eyes so much :P

Apart from that, I see that everything is OK and many previous graphics errors (prussian faction) have been corrected. I love this mod, only the winged hussars with 40% in the forest and the Kirasjer as Pancerny :(

Będę pisał po polsku bo mi tak łatwiej.
Z tego co zauważyłem to:
obrony terenowe kawalerii w lesie są poprawione ale:
1) pruski dragon ma jakiś błąd bo rzeczywistą obronę w lesie ma 50% czyli nawet większą niż w lesie i na płaskim terenie. Nie wiem czemu tak się dzieje.
2) pruska piechota zauważyłem, że też ma w opisie obronę w lesie 30% ale rzeczywista jest większa czyli ten sam problem co wcześniej miała kawaleria.
3) kawaleria w wioskach ma ten sam problem co wcześniej w lesie tj. daje i obronę terenową z płaskiego terenu jeśli jest większa. (na pewno tak jest u polskiego pancernego i husarii)
4) tłumaczenie drugiego i trzeciego poziomu Kirasjera ma literówkę chyba bo jest tam Leibkurasjer zamiast kirasjer. Nie wiem czy zamiast strażnik nie lepiej byłby gwardzista ale to tylko moje głośne myśli :P W wiki znalazłem wyrażenie lejbgwardzista. Może lepiej będzię lejbgwardyjski kirasjer?

Ok, I'll be writing in English, so that more people understand the discussion.

Iirc, there is a special "colonial" trait randomly applied to some Prussian units which grants additional +10% to sand and forest defense. That is what you probably witnessed. I can remove the trait for all Prussian cavalry. It should help a bit. Not sure about the infantry, though. Afaik, the colonial trait was a core design behind the entire faction.

Ah, yes. I see it too. I'll try to fix incorrect village defense values in the next update. :)

Trait colonial bardzo mi się podoba:) Tak to właśnie widziałem nie pomyślałem o tym, że jest taka cecha. Jeśli chodzi o piechotę mam na myśli to , że w opisie jednostki wszystkie piechoty też mają 30% obrony terenowej w lesie a brana jest tylko obrona terenowa z płaskiego terenu tak jak przy kawalerii. Wydaje mi się, ze założenie było by piechota miała obronę terenową taka jak w opisie jednostki. Po prosty jest ten sam problem co przy kawalerii, brak minusa przy wartości obrony w lesie. Bez minusa przy wartości piechota nigdy nie będzie miała obrony terenowej z lasu. Chyba nie bez powodu wartości w lesie i na płaskim są różne a teraz nie ma możliwości by tak się stało bo zawsze bierze wartość wyższą. Jak by tak miało być to myślę, że te wartości były by w opisie jednostki równe. Nie brałem udziału w projektowaniu tej frakcji więc mówię tylko co mi się wydaje.

Eastern Europe at War 3.2 is out!

This is a bigger update than usual. I modified/fixed various terrain defense values of more than 70 units. A lot of it is based on Chilarchos' findings. Generally speaking, most cavalry units no longer have higher than usual defenses in villages, cannons have terrible defenses in forests now, and Prussian infantry defenses are more in check with their code. I doubt the update fixes all instances of "defense weirdness", but we are slowly getting there.

In case of Hussars, 50% village defense was intentional, iirc. If you find it unbalanced, let me know.
