Don't worry, when the nerf to the all powerful rifle butt comes we'll most definitely go voltiguers.
Unfortunately, the game is really dying. People just don't want to join regiments as much as they did in the past. The American and UK fanbases are both rather big, and make up a major percentage of the whole community, and people tend to enjoy things they can easily understand, ie. 33rd sounds less exotic than 45e, even though the only real difference between the two is the numbers and the faction it's for. Some of the biggest regiments of the game are not UK, however, because the appreciators of Prussian, Austrian, and Russian regiments flock to the successful regiments for those nations. France, I would say, and I know you wouldn't agree with me on this one Mack, is doing pretty well. Not nearly as good as UK, unfortunately, but better than the remaining factions.
Scottish regiments get the most players.Funny.
If they are less Regiments In one faction compare to another. Those Regiments would usually result with more applicants compare to a faction with larger amount of Regiments. And through out the whole warband community reaching up towards 20 players at one event Is considered as a large clan. Over here It's merely a daily attendance. And I don't think the community Is dying It's just quiet overall.
Because majorly British people play the game. I don't know about other countries but Turks who play NW are probably less than 20 ppl and decreasing each day.There is plenty of turks, back when I had my own regiment, 50 percent was Turkish. :P
British Heavy Cavalry is greatAt the same time they have the worst cav and rockets cannot hit the broad side of a barn, literally.Funny because they're the least powerful.Lol, they are the only faction to have rocket artillery. They are plenty powerful.
I just fail to see why it's a problem.
Obviously the amount of people on servers decrease, public play can get bored quite quickly if you're not such a fan of the time period or whatever else that could make you want to play it only once or twice.You defnitly bring up some old memories Gokiller. I remember leading my first regiment, the 15e Voltigeurs in the Garde Imperial in the Armee Francia. The whore AF used the 22nd ts along with I believe the 54e 84e and others.
Also the community is slowly splitting up more and more, if you look back in MM. The 22nd Teamspeak for example, it was like that place to have contact with each other, meet other people other regiments etc. I am pretty sure that, that was a part that kept the community closely together. Though when more and more regiments decided to step away from that, and get their own teamspeak servers, less and less people joined on the 22nd teamspeak, every regiment did his own thing and so the community just isn't that close anymore as back then. (Can't blame the regiments to get their own teamspeak btw) I miss that time, it was always very enjoyable on the 22nd teamspeak to have a talk with people who you have never seen before. (I actually met Hekko on this way - crazy late night times).
- That's just a part that should be mentioned with the community decreasing in size etc.
Another one is, how many regiments do you see these day's to make epic lines on the official servers where pubbers can join in etc? I remember the day's when regiments came on like the 51st and 92nd with some 20 peeps and made big lines, that was big fun. The last time I barely see this. Big shame
Just my opinion on some parts of this subject
"Austria? They're just boring."
-----------------------------------------------------
Austria boring? Dude, you know good enough all factions are needed in NW. It is true, historically they weren't that good in battle, but they were still there.
And about French regiment anyway, there are some large regiments though, the IVe for example. The Prussians have also a few good regiments, like EAC, Freikorps etc. For the russians we have the 77y, 1y_Movska?.. Well I don't think the regs are dieing, the game itself a little.
Trouble is there are hardly any new recruits anymore, and please a note to all regiments stop the recruitment spam in global on public games, I mean is its your on server its reasonable, but other regiments servers or official ones no, remember guys stay classy

I have noticed many fewer recruitment messages in the public servers. I guess interest is just dying down :-\

There are practically no sources on lesser known Russian and Austrian regiments besides names. Excluding famous regiments (Purcell, Pavloski)

Really? Seriously if you want to find out about your regiment typing its name into google and only looking through the first page doesn't mean there is no information about it.
The problem is that people like you can't put any effort into it, like asking people or even reading a damn book.
The reason why people love their GB regiments is because they are filled with biased lies and are the most well documented and easiest to find info about. This is because people are lazy and will put 0 effort into their regiment which is why there is a lot of GB regiments with 5 members and those that have members often don't do well in my eyes.
Although the Austrian and Russian regiments might not have a huge amount of members i think they are some of the best regiments in this community, goes to show quality over quantity. The ones who take the effort to make those lesser know regiments knowing that they may not get the most recruits but put in the effort to make that regiment good are the ones who will succeed the most because it shows they are willing to put effort into the regiment from the start.

haha you know aswell as I that soo many important/commited/NICE-guys left. And what happens when they do?... "1+1" easy mathematics Dealen, I think you can figure it out if you put in a little effort..
77y+ russian-speaking regiments like Semenovsky Leib-Gvardii (playing MM and NW since december 2010), activity went down in the past few months but we still playing linebattles, not often though, 41st Siberian Regiment (playing since late 2011) can gather more than 30+ members for a linebattle, Preobrazhensky, Izmaylovsky, 30th Poltavsky Polk, 8th Moskovsky Grenadiers and fresh new Pavlovsky and 44th Kamchatsky. Every single regiment can bring 15+ members on a linebattle, except maybe new ones.
27y
11y
1y
.....
All factions? Our line size in the K-KA, an Austrian regiment, has doubled in the past weeks. But then again we are like 1 of two Austrian regiments still alive.
Well you are pretty much the 77y of Austria, so if someone wants to join a big Austrian regiment they'll most likely join the K-KA.
I would hate to be the 77y of Austria. NO WAY AM I THE AZTIR OF AUSTRIA! NOPE NOPE NOPE!
SpoilerA few reason's:
- UK is the most well known faction, and they won the war (the others country's did as well, but if you ask UK is the first answer)[close]
SpoilerThere are practically no sources on lesser known Russian and Austrian regiments besides names. Excluding famous regiments (Purcell, Pavloski)[close]
SpoilerI would have to say its because most of the people that play NW are English speaking or were at one point controlled by the English empire. So on a personal level i feel like i am fighting for my country. Not because its mine, but because its more mine than any other European country. And they speak English...just like me. It would be hard for me fighting as Prussian or Russian or especially Austria. Because i have no loyalty to them nor do i find them interesting and they don't and have never affected me. Russia Is awesome but i feel they were cheep. No Russian regiments were truly remembered for what they did. Sometimes i joke and i say "Lets make a Roleplay Russian regiment and change our names every time the line is destroyed in a LB" Because the Russian regiments Died and were never heard of again. Austria is going to be hella hard to revive because everyone with a big successful regiment has been around before the Austrian faction existed. France is the bad guys, and they lost. I think it would take some big name pioneers to have people populate those factions to make them equal to the UK. The UK also has the independence of individual regiments. Every single regiment has a long, elite, individual name, and expansive history that you want to be apart of and can relate to. Also they are all individualized with colors. Not so much as Almost every other country but you feel like a whole with some razzle dazzle on top.[close]

I think Austria is the most colorful faction in the game.
France right behind it. And due to this France is my favorite faction. Austria is too colorful for me, the weird orange on the grenzers and blue pants don't necessarily tickle my fancy. France has just the right amount of glamour in my opinion.
United Kingdom is one of the more frequently played factions, my guess due to the easier ranking system and easy regiment creation. Just take a number and create a name or look one up. I wouldn't go as far as saying it is bland, though.
Russia is cool, I love the grenadier unit. I've wished for a long time that the Russian Militia would get a bayonet so it could be a playable class in linebattles. I mean think about it; a regular line infantry regiment only has two logical options concerning what unit they play, simbirskiy or grenadiers. They don't want to select the Leib-Gvardii because of its shooting (due to it being guard class). Or even remove militia as a whole and scrap it into a new infantry unit. Just my thoughts though.
Prussia is another easy one to play (kind of like UK). The ranks are easy to understand and develop, yet when it comes to history people have issues again. As for that, just check the resources on the Regiment List thread. They have regiment name sources for every faction in the game along with factions that aren't even in the game. That is a good place to start.

I agree with you in part about what you said about the Austrian Grenzers. They look really horrible, but they're only one of the units in the Austrian faction and I think the line infantry, footguards, riflemen, cavalry, and everything else looks pretty snazzy (In fact I think Austrian cav is the best looking in the game). The main reason people don't want to make Austrian regiments is probably because of how their uniforms were modeled into the game. I've said this many times, but I think Austria would be more popular as a faction if a little more effort had been put into making their uniforms look better in game.
France is nice but they're kind of generic as well. For some reason their uniforms seem like something a child would design, and even more so than Austria, where they just look classy. The french just don't look like real soldiers to me, even though many people would say that applied to the Austrians more than the French. The main reason French regiments are so popular is because they are some of the best documented in the napoleonic wars, Napoleon and revolutionary france is glorified, and they won the most victories in the NW so people are drawn in.
Russia is one of my favorite factions, if not my absolute favorite. Their grenadiers with those sexy hats, line militia, and partizani really make things interesting. They also have good cav. I don't know why people think Russia is boring and then praise UK when they're pretty much the same deal just with green uniforms instead of red. Obviously there are not many documented sources detailing Russian regiments, as stated earlier, but it could also be because Russia and the Russian language seems so foreign to people who live in western europe and the US, so it's much harder to relate to.
The UK has neat, orderly looking uniforms, but they are all the same and their lack of good cav and their overuse and the fact that I see that kind of thing every day makes them seem too bland and generic. I like them I guess, but not as much as some of the other factions.
Prussia is cool, and they have a lot of prestige surrounding their names even though they didn't perform so well during the napoleonic wars. I think I've been seeing a lot of new Prussian regiments sprouting up lately, especially as people leave the bigger Prussian regiments like the FKI, EPI, and EPG, and since they're used to Prussian rank structure and names, they stick with what they know.
Overall I think we could use some more Austrian and Russian regiments, but in the end it doesn't really make a difference considering that during LBs regiments rarely get to play as the specific faction or even regiment that their clan represents, so they just end up being another name on the scoreboard.

I've said this many times, but I think Austria would be more popular as a faction if a little more effort had been put into making their uniforms look better in game.I completely disregarded the looks of cavalry when forming my opinion. I too agree that the Austrian cavalry is very nice. the Chevalegeurs (spelling?) are my favorite cavalry in the whole of NW. I can't recall the specific names, but the white clothed cavalrymen with the light horse is one powerful unit. They have the light horse, so they have speed. They have a musket, so they have range. They are equipped with swords long then the light horse sword, which gives the range to their swing. I quite like playing as them when I get the chance.

I do agree, however, that the Austrian infantry units could have been pieced together to make them more appealing.
