Any chance we can have barricades back? I miss training hours on end trying to get the perfect triangle.

Yes please.

[kpetschulat]

What barricades? 

[Newkirk]

Back when every skirmisher just carried a large chevaux de frise in his back pocket everywhere he went. Those were the days.

[kpetschulat]

Oh, those. The Good ol' MM days.

If lancers are  "OP", what is so hard about just running out of the lances reach? What is so hard about just running infront of the horse and get bumped instead of lanced? Lancers are insanely easy to kill since they have a rather weak stat with the sword. Why not just shoot him? Why not hide behind an object? or better, leave it if he doesn't see you?

Waiting for the answers. I hope its not "Lance is too long" shit, because you can easily run away or what has been said above.

Thank God someone said it.

I am considering, starting a "Ship's Company" for the new patch. It will be a interesting twist on the regimental system of the community. I hope to be seeing ship vs. ship battle's in the future . (If only you could drive the ship's ) But the patch looks great

Well, you can't drive them . But they could make a boarding map though

[MagicTeatowel]

Yeah, I am considering "boarding battle" styled events, With sailors on the guns and marines dispatching boarding parties. Trying to take each others boats being the main goal. But we need a ship to go against, *cough* someone else make a ships company *cough*

Another fine victory to the dev team!

You should add a "Royal Navy" and "French Navy" banners to the game

Lucky we don't have the French Royal navy in the game, as they used a completely white flag. That would have given some confusion.

Hello,

         Just one thing I noticed, while being here, since I got my India Pattern Brown Bess, the standard Musket used in the British Army at the time, I've never been able to unsee the fact that the Bayonet on the British Brown bess ingame is wrong.  It was just on the right, horizontal I guess is a decent word.  Basically right in the middle On the right side of the barrel.  Otherwise, you guys did a great job with the musket and it looks perfect.  Pretty much just like mine.  That is the only thing about your game that bugs me.  Don't get me wrong, you guys have an awesome game, I just love History so... Yeah, I'm a pain in the ass about it.  I don't know if the other ones are off either,  but every Napoleonic Brown Bess I've ever seen, including my own, has had it in the position I describe.  I'm just being nit picky because I am, and if it is something you can't fix or would just rather put the time to other projects I understand,  there is plenty of other stuff you guys could be doing.  When I do re-enactments in your game I like it to be precise is all.

Thank you for your time,
                                      Tom

Ugh, Listen, I hope EVERYONE CAN READ ENGLISH. What I am saying is, unless you have fucking 0.1 IQ you can EASILY take out 10 people without any problem whatsoever. What kind of moron runs straight at the enemy? All you have to do is run behind people when they are in melee or have fired a shot and stab them in the back, and even if the enemy turns around and tries to stab you, they wont make it because the lance is way longer, and YES that is the only damn arguement I need. It is not "shit" it is the truth. If you are in melee you cant just run away because then the lancer can just run you down and the other people close to you will kill you. Lancers are OP, easy as that, and if you wont realize it then I feel sorry for you guys! Having the lancers drop their lance once switching to sword is atleast something that should be done for sure.
