Will there be different types of artillery? I have no clue about what was used, but I thought that they were larger.

I think for the first release we will only have this "small" cannon. Later we will work on some different kinds of cannons and mortars.

[Wismar]

Very sexy cannon!

[Spearing]

This looks like damn good fun. Good luck.

[Wismar]

Shouldn't the Hakkapeliitta be light cavalry? With two pistols? Sorry if I'm picky.

I call them "medium" cavalry because they are not so heavy armored as the cuirassiers and the other cavalry units and I wont call it light cavalry because they are heavier then other cavalry units, for example the slavic cavalry.

And I am not going to give them two pistols. They will have one.



New artillery crosshair. Now it should be more difficult to kill an enemy line. Also its more realistic with the accuracy of the cannons in this time.

So, is that displaying how inaccurate the artillery is? I like those crosshair styles, would be cool for muskets and pistols too.

No, the accuracy is the same, but its harder to aim with the cannon.

You can change the accuracy of the cannon by increasing the random offset in module_scripts. As well as the velocity of the cannonball.

Code

       (assign,":init_vel",45), # 45 meters per 0.5 seconds = 90m/s
       (assign,":ammo_size","spr_mm_cannonball_code_only_12pd"),
       (assign,":particle",-1),
       (assign,":flight_sound_id","snd_cannonball_loop"),
       (assign,":ball_x",0),
       (assign,":ball_y",0),
       (assign,":ball_z",0),
       (assign,":random_offset",25),

I didnt searched for it yet, but I guess you saved me a lot of time, thank you very much.

[Wismar]

Keep the musket accuracy as it is but remove the crosshair. Would be interesting.

[Windbusche]

You mean Cannon? Or do you mean musket? Either would be... interesting, actually.

Awesome!

I am a little confused as to how you'd include the Kingdom of England when at this time they were engaged in civil war for the most part, and the majority of sources for the period would be about the civil wars.

The English Civil War began in the later years of the war. They fought from 1625-1630 in the 30 Years War, and the civil war started in 1642. Unless you're referring to something different.

But still I would agree that England isn't the best choice as a major faction.

I know that but if you try and find sources of England around this time, all you're going to find are ones for the civil war, so it would be difficult to make an English faction.
