Great work as always, but I am curious about a few things.

First, what engine this will use? From what I understand they will not use the Warband engine, so I am pretty curious.

Also on the multiplayer side, will there be server lists, and what is the limit for people on a single server?

I would also love to know what you guys are doing to combat the lag issues that plagued Napoleonic Wars as well.

Cheers and thanks for the update!

1. It's the Unity Engine

2. Yes, limit at the start is around 500 by my guess?

3. The lag was due to poor servers and the game engine just being extremely outdated. With the Unity Engine game lag should effectively disapear unless you're on a far away/poor server.

Amazing update, gotta love them Parrot Rifles. Another brilliant job FSE.

Wuuut? I did not get any message by Olafson about this.

So I just noticed through this thread.


I like the sight on that 12 pounder.

Hope we will see same quality for a NW area... Don't understand all people playing here who enjoy to change the era, without any feelings.

Very nice!
But the picture-description of the 100 Pounder Parrot Rifle is wrong. You have two Mississippi rifles now ;D

Oh god...

Thanks for telling me! Fixed it now.

Also... Here is the gun from a few different perspectives, without any normal/specular map, as we felt that the one shown in the blog might not be the best one.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD MAN! That is one detailed smooth-bore cannon.

Say I was wondering, the thing that bothered me in NW was that there was a ramrod in the cannon's frame that soldiers grabbed. Can you add in a system where we can grab the rod from the cannon instead of spawning with it? When you grab it the rod disappears from the frame, and if you die it drops on the ground.

Is the aiming for the cannon also done through that range calculator thingy? (No idea what it is called, it's the metal thing that they put in when aiming)

And here I was thinking that they had given it some elaborate and cool name.
Well, a sight it is then.

No need to call it what it isn't. Though perhaps a long name like "Metallic Etched Imperial Measured Aiming Reticle"
