Well I know of atleast 50+ active regiments, so it doesnt seem that deadLot's of regiments have disbanded. Compared to 2014 the game has lost a lot of players (which is understandable). The forums are also barely being used anymore. The contacts of these 50+ regiments are difficult to find since it seems that many don't use the forums any longer. Also foreign regiments that don't speak English have decreased. Take for example, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Swedish, Turkish. Lot's of these regiments that speak these languages have little to none existent anymore. I am only trying to find a way to bring more life into this game, I only don't know how.
I do find it quite funny that only now people come out of the woodworks to try and keep the game alive. Probably should have done something sooner if you really cared that much.What can one individual achieve? I wanted to help much sooner, but my voice is irrelevant.
There is still a casual community, but the comp one (at least the high level comp scene) is very much dead.

Imo the game is somewhat still "active". Obviously the numbers aren't the same as they were a few years ago but you can still find a good amount of casual players during the regular events. I can somewhat retrace the "50+" number by wursti, but lets be real: We dont really see them. Back in the days we had 2-3 full linebattle servers per day. Right now we barely fill 1 server. Also have a look at the casual servers which attracted a good amount of players a few years back. This aint the case anymore. The comp scene is basically non exisiting anymore, because many, including me, dont have the interest to actively play at all. Right now I personally only play the game because I enjoy playing it with my regiment. It somewhat feels like a "burn out" for many people i assumeExactly. They are almost nowhere to be found. Public servers have also decreased. There are only 2 servers I could think of that are somewhat populated, but not by much anymore. I get that with the competitive scene people get burn outs. People want to win and it brings stress for many players. Many say that casual events are boring and only the competitive scene interests them. But where is their enthusiasm for the Napoleonic Era? And I get it, it's a game, it's supposed to be fun. Getting shot in the beginning of a round and then waiting for an hour isn't amusing indeed. But, there are flag spawn events now which counter this problem, and honestly I enjoyed them quite a lot. Still do, actually. I want to change the state of the game, to bring more players and have these events rocking again like they used to. But as an individual with an irrelevant voice, I do not know how.

Now? I think you forgot this has been a topic the last 3-4 years ishI was referring to the casuals, such as OP.
Casual is well alive, its just the top players that all seem to have left as price said, compared to last yearThen why can I barely see any regimental activity on public servers for trying to recruit people? To play in general? They also don't use the forums anymore. It is very difficult to get in touch with them. Casual is not so very alive anymore as you might think. Public servers are also getting more and more empty. Yes some events might still happen. I understand we will never be able to go back to the peak of NW once had. My only wish is to bring more players to the game so we can have multiple large events again and a bigger playerbase.
Competitive is 95% dead, but casual is still a bit more alive and if you can't find regular players on the servers anymore it's just because there aren't any left, the only casuals are centralized around the remaining regiments, and they're probably only logging on to play eventsCasual is well alive, its just the top players that all seem to have left as price said, compared to last yearThen why can I barely see any regimental activity on public servers for trying to recruit people?

Lately, I have been playing NW daily. Mostly Tropical Paradise and Minisiege. I haven't seen a lot of individuals with regiment tags. There is truth in Zeyden's comment. However, there are still people playing on these servers frequently, but they aren't as populated as ever. And most of them don't like regiments at all. Today, I was on Minisiege and almost the full L-G regiment was there. Good to see them still going.There casual community is split in 2 basically, the pubs who play on tp and minisiege, of whom the majority seem to hate regiments with a passion especially on tropical. And the regimental players who mainly play events or modded events

I haven't played HF in a while so not sure how active the community is there. I will warn you that the mechanics are quite different compared to warband.

Only real solution is making NW an independent game which is not possible. FSE tried a while back and if I’m remembering correctly Paradox shot the idea down.I get your point, it would be awesome to have another standalone Napoleonic game, but if that would have happened, if Paradox accepted it, then I am afraid it would have ended up like BCoF. It's almost like Holdfast but in the ACW period. I could be wrong, but seeing how long they worked on BCoF, and how dead it is right after release. It's worrying.
Hehe ;). On a serious note trust me I know the game sucks but just was just giving him an option incase he hasn't played it yet.Lately, I have been playing NW daily.

how can you say this without having a laugh?
The Top3 regs disbanded / their Gren companies
15th_YR disbanded, 55th disbanded and 45thN Gren company disbanded after last RGLOh wow thats a shame to see.
Yea Warbands player numbers are increasing while Bannerlord's is decreasing aswellAlso june-july has always been dead AF for nw for years now cause exams and then holidays/vacations. Same thing happened in 2022, 2021 was more alive around this time period due to EGS
And thats without WSE taken into account, so I think the state didnt change in the past 1-2 years, its just the ppl that leave that try their best to talk it dead

Compared to 2018-19 nowadays there is a pretty big skill gap between the comp players that are still playing and the newer players which doesn't make comp very attractive to new ppl unless u market it specifically for them with a league 2 which didn't really work last EGS since the top l2 teams demolished everyone else and teams that actually consisted of new players got stomped.Yea Warbands player numbers are increasing while Bannerlord's is decreasing aswell

Yeah, I am a bit worried to see that the 3 biggest in EU have disbanded/downsized though. But overall, from my experience, most new players I rct are just flat out uninterested to play comp shit. They just want to play huge ass linebattles and duke it out against others. I remember back on 2018-19 every once in a while I would have ppl leave the 61e and join a competitive only regiment but that hasnt rly happened to us since like 2020. most of the ppl on these forums who are active are comp players so they are the ones who are naturally most likely to preach about the game being dead here.

To be very honest with you, I could care less about competitive stuff these times either. I get that some people just enjoy this game for its time period and would like to play "Napoleon Total War" in NW if you understand what I mean with that.
Hell yes. And I get that people find it boring, cause sometimes you get shot in the first few seconds of the round and you will have to wait for a long time until you can play again. But there are solutions, such as the Flag Spawn events etc..To be very honest with you, I could care less about competitive stuff these times either.

Yeah I definitely agree with what you are saying. The bigger the battle the more fun. The more destruction and carnage the more exciting!

I also feel that the Conquest game mode is something severely underrated.
I remember myself a huge conquest map as well. It was a historical battle, very long time ago. Would be nice if Napoleonic Wars featured more factions than 2 in one "game" so to speak. That would spice things up as well I think.Pretty interesting…. Technically there is a way to achieve what youre saying via changing uniforms units spawn with thru minor editing of the files though idk if youd be able to modify voicelines….
Well, the full price on steam might have something to do with that last point too but that is not something that is up to us to fix.you can buy warband and nw for around 3-4 euros on some sites
Spoiler50+ regiments maybe true at a stretch but the 5 biggest regiments (at least) full strength would bring more players than 50 5 man regiments. (Talking about 2018+)
It's just a shame that huge staple international regiments, other than 33rd and maybe 16th, have died, regiments like 92nd, 17th/40th - in its short time, 45thN of course, 32nd and 19th just haven't been replaced.
Also regiments exclusive to their nations have died out, not only looking at the 3pp in the Polish scene/ or the 98e in Turkey or the VG/14e in France but also there used to be tons of regiments from seriously niche countries back in 2015 onwards, that'd bring huge numbers. I remember a Hungarian as well as a Romanian regiment bringing 30-40+ each daily to my line battles. Also the DDA from Denmark!
Nice to see Deluge popping though :)[close]
