I think Oscar just wet himself like an exciting dog :p

Anyway it is cool that they had 2 pistols but I don't think it's a good idea for gameplay. All I see is people abusing the 2 pistols.

Make sure you give the Swedish dragoons the equipment they had, two pistols and a saber. So when they charged they used to fire off both pistols and then draw the saber.
The use off his cav made the Swedish army very effective because the Spanish would just form up big pike formations which were effective in a frontal attack but it made them hard to manouver.
At one battle, Gustaf II Adolf took his cav around the enemy and capured the artillery. He had trained his cav to use arty so they started opeing fire on the enemy from behind. It would be very cool if you could implement these skills ingame!

Weren´t that Hakkapeliita and not Dragoons? Dragoons was mounted infantry, which dismounted to fight and fire...

I recommend reading the first post. There is the Habsburg faction which includes Austrian and Spanish units ;)

IMO the accuracy is fine. I mean, we use flintlocks in NW and they are waaay more accurate IRL.
Just look at this guy. He hits the target every time with no problem.

And that's even a carbine.

Now, the earlier muskets were less accurate than the flintlocks and that's why I think the current ingame accuracy is bad enough.
But I don't know, I think the Swedes actually used flintlocks during this time anyways. The Swedes started using it at the start of the 17th century (1600).

I think misfires should be implemented tho. But it would be pretty rare.

This is amazing, at that time Spain ruled the world, and even then you do them. At that time the Holy Roman Empire was not Spain, amazing ...

"Ruled the world", yet both France and England were both independent?

This guy isn't shooting surrounded by 100 guys trying to keep formation shooting at humans with smoke all over the place and being shouted at and possibly being shot back at. That's generally where accuracy went out the window.

Well, there isn't any system like that ingame.
