I feel like adding misfires might be a pointless addition that could get really annoying after a while. People play the game to shoot and stab each other, not to clean a fouled weapon.
Some people like realism.

Eventually I want to make it togglable so that you can decide on your server if you want them or not, or perhaps have them in LB's not in pub-play

In terms of fouling it generally happened once you'd been firing your weapon a while, especially if with low quality powder. So perhaps make it begin to happen now and then after say 25 shots have been fired. Though I'm not certain of this I would presume this would affect the British the least given the higher quality of powder they used.

++ reminds me of Runescape's poisoned weapons, haha. Many moons ago.

However, this is what Napoleonic warfare should've been. However, with the clannish mentality of units, it'd be a bit difficult to convince units to come over to ++.

thats what im aiming for. This is a community mod that will fix what you think should've been fixed - add what should've been added and make up for where Napoleonic Wars let down

EDIT: I know for at least the first release not many will come across to NW++ but eventually once we add in all the features that people want but keep the base game the same... they will come

I've always wanted just a really really realistic NW mode.. You should implement and option to turn on or off the banner floaty roundy things on your head so you  have to pay attention to uniforms. But i would imagine if you had prussian units on the british team (Which i believe there was, i had the old version) and were fighting prussians in say tdm there'd be a whole lot of tking so thats why you should have an option :D

I've always thought banner removal would be good. Lines would be more inclined to use flags and artillery would have to be a wii bit more cautious.

I got quite some siege maps.. Besides that, please don't make the fixable bayonets. It's not historical, and it will just be a pain in the ass.

Idd.

It's like anyone cares about it, there are bigger changes to be made :).

Yeah, personally I think that modders only add it to have an extra feature.. Because it's historical innacurate. And it's really annoying aswell. I really hope you'll remove that feature, besides that if you've a map idea then send me, I'll make it!

It's not historically inaccurate...well it mostly is but it's an iffy one. At the end of the day it's a bloody useless feature in an NW mod, the time frame simply does not fit with that ideology.
