Title: Troop Stats in N&S(UPDATED FOR V.5)
Post by: Dithon1 on October 20, 2013, 07:26:42 pm
UPDATED

The following is a list of all troop stats in the game. By "all troop stats," I of course mean Infantry Rankers. Cavalry is a bit different.

Note that is is correct as of .5

Here's a brief rundown on the various skills and what they mean in terms of N&S. The higher the number, the bigger the bonus. Note that I only listed the skills that are relevant; there are many, many more, but the majority of weapon skills aren't used and the vast majority of party/personal skills only affect gameplay in Vanilla SP.

Weapon Skills:

Combat Skills:

(The following stats were taken directly from the module files using Morgh's Mount and Blade WB/WFAS Editor (http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=105928.0).)

Class Stats:
All the infantry units generally have one of four sets of stats, those being Line Infantry, Light Infantry/Grenzers, Skirmishers, and Foot Guards. They are generally exactly the same as their Napoleonic Wars counterparts. Any exceptions will be noted in the last section.

Line Infantry:

Light Infantry/Grenzers:

Skirmishers:

Foot Guard:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking through the stats from the recent update, it seems Hinkel (or some other Dev) rebalanced the classes. So here's an updated of which troops are to be considered which classes. Any troops that deviate from the template above will be listed at the bottom.

CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA:

Line Infantry:

Skirmishers:

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Line Infantry:

Light Infantry/Grenzers:

Skirmishers:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXCEPTIONS

This is where I list the troops that don't stick to one of the templates in the top section.

69th NYSM(USA) and 11th MS(CSA):
It appears that Hinkel decided to change these guys from Grenzers/Skirmishers to standard infantry, but forgot to change their combat skills to match. So they have the weapon skills of Line Infantry, but the combat skills of Grenzers/Light Infantry/Skirmishers. So for simplicity's sake, consider them unnoticeably under-powered Line Infantry.


Foot Guards and Hinkel's Apparent Insanity:

Right. So you may have noticed that I left out Foot Guards up above. Well, that's because Hinkel went crazy and decided to give them the crossbow skill of Skirmishers whilst keeping their superior (145)polearm skill. These classes are the 33rd VA (CSA), and the US Battalion Infantry(USA). They are now the absolute best infantry class you could play as.

33rd VA(Ranker):

33rd VA(Sgt):

US Battalion Infantry: (Sgts have the same stats as rankers.)


Tl;DR Hinkel's gone crazy, and there's no reason to play as anything but the two Foot Guard classes if you're infantry.

Cavalry:

Cavalry stats for the Union and Confederates differ. The Union uses the "standard" Dragoon class template from NW, and the CSA uses the Light Dragoon template. Both classes for each faction have the same stats. A new stat to take note of here is "Riding," which adds a (small) bonus to maneuverability, maximum speed, and acceleration while mounted for each point.

Confederate:

Union:

One small thing of note is that the Confederate Cavalry NCO's 1h Weapon skill is 80, rather than 70. Probably an oversight.

Wow...

So Union Cavalry are actually truly OP.

50 extra Melee stat, 1 more ironflesh, 2 more power strike...

How the hell can it be balanced by a meager extra 1 riding and 30 extra crossbows.

No way in hell is that balanced.

30 Crossbow makes the crosshairs a hell of a lot smaller. In a mostly shooting game, the confed Cav has the advantage.

Firing from horseback is banned in the major line battle.

No one at all (including infantry officers and generals) are allowed to fire from horseback.

So 30 crossbow advantage means nothing.


Personally I blame some of the Infantry commanders for the rule :-D

Well I don't know about now but when we, the 32nd, played as the 7th Cav in NaS we played as real dragoons, dismounting to fire, and the disadavantage in our firing skill was very obvious.

Lol.. There is indeed something wrong.
I wanted to show, that the 33rd and the US regulars are the only units, which had combat expierence. They had rifle and melee training, compared to other regiments.

Maybe you can help me to balance that more, Dithon? :)

Oke so, thank you for posting stats but I'd appreciate it if you at least had respect for Hinkel instead of calling him crazy, he made the mod for us, I'm sure he'll work on it but saying there's no reason to play as any other class, means you saying classes win battles, well buddy, players win them, commanding increases/decreases chances of men preforming better/worse, so, a class being stronger than another doesn't mean you have to call the developer insane in which case I'd just tell you to get the hell out of the community if you can't be thankful, and another thing regarding cavalry is that it can dismount and it can fire so yeah.

I figured that that's what you were going for, but you can't balance this like you would a Total War unit. As it stands I see line battles turning into one big 33rd vs US Regulars fight with no other infantry units involved save perhaps sharpshooters because they're as good (or almost as good, in the case of the Regulars) as the skirmisher infantry with none of the drawbacks in melee combat. Or they'll just be banned outright, who knows? I don't make the rules. 

On a side note, thank you for removing the Sharps and Revolving Rifles.

@Rapid, Dithon has been here since the beginning. Hinkel knows this. Pretty sure he's been shot at a few times by us haha

Soo.. you aren't able to give any new troop stats, which are more balanaced for you?
I am still waiting for your suggestion!

Raise the 11th MS/69th NY's Ironflesh and Power Strike skills to 3, to match the other Line Infantry.


Drop the 33rd VA and US Regulars' Crossbow skill down to 150.


Make one of the units of Cavalry on both factions have Light Dragoon stats, and the other have "standard" Dragoon stats. Make sure to give the appropriate troop the appropriate horse. See my (revised) post about the cavalry to see what's what, if you don't already know.

I dunno, I personally like the stats having a semblence of historical accuracy. Giving the 69th more melee stats and ironflesh would make sense considering their battle doctrine was more focused on the Bayonet at the start of the war.

Historical Accuracy = Unfun, Unbalanced, Unfair Line Battles.

Historical Accuracy up to a point. But the majority of things stats wise should be balanced with their opposite number. +/- <10 isnt too bad though.

Hmm, I'd like to add that that historical accuracy might not be as bad as some people see it, however, some regiments prefer shooting, some prefer melee, that's how units should be, there shouldn't be a unit that can take on Tigers on long range as well as take on Iron Brigade in melee, so, finding the balance mixed with historical accuracy should calm things down. On the other hand, I'm not good with stats or the Civil War in general, but I'm sure Hinkel can handle it and the community can help be sharing their opinions :)

I'm not sure what your point is. That's what I was suggesting, although not for that reason. Right now they're supposed to be Line Infantry, but Hinkel forgot to raise their power strike and iron flesh skills to match. Same for the 11th MS.

You can't have historical accuracy in a Warband module at all. Ok, fine. This is only Manassas, so it is not that imbalanced. Raise some stats of (historically) battle hardened troops to represent their experience level at start of the battle/war. But then, how would you represent this in the ongoing war? CSA troops under Lees command OP because of their experience? Yankees UP then? But then pls don't make equal numbers in LBs, because this is not historical accurate. US troops outnumbered CS troops in nearly every battle. And their equipment was better towards the end of the war (repeating rifles, MiniƩ balls, Gatling guns, cast iron artillery). Do you want this for this mod or succeeding mods?
I don't think so.

No gatling guns were actually ever used. A couple generals bought some privately, but they sat in a warehouse until the war's end.

Post by: Friedrich on August 14, 2014, 01:11:51 pm
At least at the Siege of Petersbrug they were used:
Quote
A couple Union officers bought a few Gatling guns privately, so the guns did see very limited action during the war. The most notable purchase was by General Benjamin F. Butler, who bought twelve guns at $1,000 each. Two of those guns were used at Petersburg in 1864 to defend against Confederate attacks, and the guns worked quite well.

To my knowledge zouaves were shock infantry or standard line infantry.

The mod is called "First Manassas". At Manassas, the Tigers were ordered by Colonel Evans to perform massiv Skirmish action. Thats why they are Skirmishers here.
