Finally, Hussars for United Kingdom.

[Dekkers]

Btw.

Why aren't there marines for Prussia, Russia and Austria?


Very nice that the ships move tho! Can't wait!

[kpetschulat]

Those nations did not use Marines as much as the UK and France. And, especially not in the way the UK and France used them, which was as infantry.

But this isn't about how much, it's about balancing the faction. Nobody wants to play Russia, Prussia or Austria now.

[kpetschulat]

Oh, so all the Prussian, Russian, and Austrian regiments don't want to play as Prussia, Russia, or Austria?

[Suede]

Will the link for non-steam version be available?

Wow... Are you not smart enough to think of 2 things.

First of al. Less regiments will make regiments with those factions.
Secondly. Pubbers won't play as them.

That still doesn't counter his statement.

why? they will only have one less line to choose from (2 for france) and a partizani like unit and with Russia and Austria having the own unique units the only thing may be less people playing as Prussia but tba there isn't any advantage once the novelty wears off pubbers will go back to picking faction based on server population and regiments won't really change much, there won't be any special rules for them

[Crayon]

Can't see any servers.

Wait, yes I can. They are just empty

[Onii]

Here is my question, when will they release this! 

Taleworld have said Monday or Tuesday next week.

Hehehe, that is good :p.

But the reason I think people will dislike those factions is because there isn't anything new.

Brittain has Sailors and the 1st Hussars and France has the German-ish regiment and sailors. So people want to play as the new classes and make regiments with those factions (Using the new units) and the pubbers will play the factions (Use the new classes, and I think sailor will be used, allot). This isn't about 'regiments won't play their factions anymore'. It's about future regiments. And the amount of regiments playing as Austria, Prussia or Russia is already on its minimal.

So my point is. If you add stuff to every faction, people will or might get interested in playing them again.
And there is an easy example. Did anyone notice the amount of people that made a marine regiment after they saw the marines? And now that the ships move, I think there will be more marine regiments in the future.

Please, devs, add fix/unfix bayonet!!
