There was a Fort/Battery Wagner map for an unrelased mod I worked on a while back, as some may already have seen. I don't have any screens of the map itself, but an image showing the fort model seems to have survived. The tower is not really accurate though, but the map itself was aweome. The Union troops were to charge across the sand dunes against the fort, in the background at sea there were gunboats and ironclads, providing not always accurate support fire for the attacking force. A waterfilled ditch with fraise/abatis, sharpened sticks was placed in front of the walls. Needles to say, this fort would be a tough position to capture! Here's an image of the fort model:



A cannon that would have been used by the fort's defenders:

That looks pretty bumpin

Just because you did not study a certain war in school doesn't mean you can trash the entire thing. We never learned about Napoleonic wars but I don't go around saying such garbage.

Okay, not being funny, but its a really bad idea considering you have such a large european community of players, to make the next game an american civil war one.

Why? people need to understand a conflict to be interested in it...  and quite frankly here in the UK schools, we dont learn about the american civil war, its not in the history as it has nothing at all to do with us.

I dont know or care about anything like `the rebels` or whatever.

If it was something different like the wild west, or zulus or whatever..  everyone has seen the movies and has their favourite aspects of those wars, but the american civil war? come on...  who in europe is really bothered about the american civil war

So yes, i think the american civil war theme will be great from the american side of things, but most europeans will be like `meh why am i fighting for this team again`? and fast loose interest

That was so ignorant. You basically said that Europeans don't care about the Civil War.

Why a Spanish faction? If anything you should add a French faction or even a Canadian Militia faction! Still, I am very proude that the war is getting recognition in the gaming community! Can't wait to fight at York with my buddies!

In episod 1 of season 4 did anyone else pick up when Creepy Carla said that her husban was "just ahead" thinking that he was just at her camp. (Turns out he was just a head) Great show, hope Glen never gets it!

I agree, with a 0.5% chance of occurence it will add an aspect of true realism to the game. For while yes, they did maintain their firearms and misfires happen less than in the Napoleanic era, they did still happen. So I agree with a 0.5% chance, I would even go so high 1% but I would say no greater then that. For as stated before, we want it to add flavor to the combat, not change the taste completly. I will say as a side note though, their should definetly be a sound and/or animation for this so that people do not think that they are just lagging or that the game is glitched. But over all I am all for it!

Think you mean a 0.05% chance lol, but I agree that it would add to the realism of the game!

Why would he mean 1 in 2000, would a regular soldier in the civil war even fire his rifle that many times?

Ya, I ment a 0.5% chance. ("1 in 200" = 0.5%)

Not 0.05% (1 in 2,000 = 0.05%) that would be too rare.

I don't want to get into any math argument, but 0.5% is equal to 50%.
Not sure where 1 in 2,000 is equal to 0.05% which is 5% or 1 in 20 shots.
Let us leave the math to the developers and just look forward to the game!

For the sake of suggestions, what if the misfire was once in every fourteen shots. Maybe it would even carry over from round to round! Idk it's just an idea, but the topic of misfire has been brought up so many times it would be hard for the devs to ignore.
