What we need to remeber is that chivalry had melee as the absolute main feature, and is covering a period where around 90 precent of deaths was cause by hand to hand combat, while in this period only 2 procent was caused by hand to hand fighting. I know its a game so it doesnt need to be 100% accurate, but unlike NW, shooting is going to make a big difference on the battlefiled. Its a civil war game we want right? With melee as one of the features, not more importent then the others, but as part of the game.

The fact that NW fighting look like anything else then men fighting and especially the spinning really threw me off when I was playing it back in the time, but what disliked even more was when it turned into unlimited blocking festival. Therefor I hope the blocking in this game will be harder and more punishing, making team play more important.

There is nothing to be proud of.

Its no point in arguing with someone who don't want to see other then his own opinion, and makes it clear that his opinion is unchangeable. If the people who want the flag down was as interested in knowing the background and history of the battle flag as they are in taking it down, there would have been no problem at all. After all, whether you were good or bad wasn't based on where you came from or what flag you fought under. The white man in America did so many wrong things that its just plain stupidity going into detail of who was worst.

America is one of those countries where the winner takes it all. Instead of letting people be proud of their heritage and history, they take away and hide everything that isn't pro US.

I thought this was one of the reasons to have a forum. To say what you like and dislike, so the devs can know what they should go for  or leave. Ill say my opinion no matter if people like it, dont care or act snide.

Yes, but after about a million people have said the same thing without any useful information attached to it, it gets a bit tiresome. And then it starts unnecessary arguments between people that clutter up the thread.
I understand, but I have to say that around 4 people saying why they like the walking while crouched feature is a trifle compared to a lot of the usual things said.

Please stop bitching at each other.

Not including crouching is a developer decision, and we have our reasons for not adding it; we don't need to hear a billion "but xyz mod has it and it's so cool".

I diddnt answer your post. I don't care about your negative opinion, i just think its a neat feature that made the game really immersive and was a real game changer.
Accept that other people have other opinions. :)
I heard you the first time. I respect others opinions, but what you commented on my opinion on crouching was unnecessary and had nothing to do with what I said.

Worked more then fine in the deluge. Was at least my favorite feature in that mod, and made the battles so unique compared to other mods.

We all get old son.

I agree with Johan, just deal with it. I am a part of one of those regiments who has a special uniform, and I think of it as a gift from Hinkel and we cherish it. Although I would very much appreciate it if I could get those sexy Berdan uniforms the 1stUSSS has access to  :P

Yeah man the 32nd uniforms are always the absolute boss, kinda miss those days but alas, work hasn't set me free

Oh yeah that makes perfect sense. Excellent rationalization.

#Forest Grump strikes again.

that looks so good...

Not you again... Just read what I am saying for once. You dont need to join "what if" battles, its just an option, and ofcourse "what if" battles arent historical...
Knowing the comunity? Maby not, but I know there are a lot of snide people who complain and wimp a lot in general on this forum.

I realy don't understand why some people have problems with the new factions. I know a lot of people are afraid of everything new, but come on.. You can just see on the amount of uniforms and weapons for USA and CSA that they are still the focus. the new factions will expand the community for the mod, bring some new fresh content to the mod, make some really cool "what if" battles and you can have some really cool events representing other wars and have other types of events, like the French intervention of Mexico or an Alamo event like Hinkel said.

Its not the end of the CSA against USA, its just expanding the content and possibilities.

^ that shows on a couple of later occasions the natives being the aggressors. Still, us white man has treated the local population of most country we landed in like animals. Spain and Portugal in South America, Britain and the Opium wars and Dutch and the ethnic cleansing of Banda Island being some.

Its right what you say but "couple of later occasions the natives being the aggressors"??? bs.
Just making a point that there was not one good and one bad side in the war.

The South killed the native Americans killed and persecuted natives as well. Let's not forget what the south did after the war. All of the southern hate groups like the Klu Klux Klan emerged from the confederacy.

Why do you go there? This discussion could go on forever. Who was worse? Who had the right cause? Was Sherman the devil in human form? Was there realy a difference between the view on race in north and south?
This was 150 years ago, the view on a lot of things like race was different then it is now. There are so much ignorence acording this, and I am sick of it. Things may sound nice in your history book, but things are rarely that simple.
You are naming the KKK? They would not have occurred had the north handled both the secession and the reconstruction better. They are a resoult in everything going terrebly wrong everywhere, not by one side.
As I have told some people on this forum before, this is not the place for this discussion. You also need to be openminded to have this discussion with someone, and dont trust whatever is written online or in your history books for that matter.
