I've been expecting this. best of luck with this Willhelm.


Really impressed that you do animations, textures and models all by yourself! :)
You have accomplished something most other mod makers take several months to do.
Not really
Well, still impressed.

Willhelm, how will you tackle the balance?
The Prussian arty was superior because of it's breechloading capabilities.
The French Bolt action rifle was superior to the Dreyse because of it's faster loading.
Maybe make the dreyse more accurate or more damaging?

The chassepot was more accurate, faster firing and had longer range. I've made it that way in game too, but the dreyse does more damage and gets more ammunition. I'm not sure if it's possible to make the prussian artillery breach loading as all artillery shares the same reload, but even so i've chosen two artillery guns which are matched. The Prussian artillery is a howitzer which fires straight and the French is a normal cannon. But i have tweaked the accuracy and speed etc.

If you don't like them you can always shoot at them as the French.

Gut Luck! Looking forward to play this. If you need a server for beta testing I can always offer my 200 slot france hosted server 24/7. Its the one actually being used as Romae Bellum official but I think it would be used better by you.
General Gustav: LETS PLAY
General Gustav: CUM ON MAGGOT
Kaiser Maggot: No, dont cum on maggot pls
General Gustav: no one can stop me
Kaiser Maggot: NOOO!

Impressing
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.
