Prince and I Have decided to make it 10 Shots for Normal Infantry for all Nations, and 15 For Riflemen.

Ammo carts will have a limited ammo surplus, being around 150-300 Rounds.

So far, Planned nations are:

The Continental Army
The British Empire
Kingdom of France
Spanish Empire
And possibly Native Tribes.

My goodness, you're going to kill the mod already. Soldiers carried 20+ rounds in their ammo pouches... Having only 10 for infantry, 15 for light infantry is going to kill public play. For the sake of the mod, don't do this. I'm warning you now.

Hmmm... Rethinking that, your right.  Maybe a point system is needed. But having 10 Rounds mean that melee will be used more and the Supply cart's job will be to refill your Ammo on the battle field, if you have a company of 10-12 Strong a cart could be helpful for long Battles, then just short 70 Second fire then charge battles on NW.

This whole idea of the cart, I'm telling you now... it's not going to be good. As much as it may seem like it would. It's going to promote camping and cause events to drag-on really long. Just, stick to not having a cart. Just trust me on this. This whole cart thing could very easily kill the mod.

Well, that is your opinion we want to support long battles to make it more interesting then just standing there and getting wasted, also we have decided to try to add the cart been able to flip over for more cover in a firefight.

P.s. Opinion Noted.

Support battles wont make it interesting, it'll just make it another WWI. (WWI was basically all use of Support Weapons against Infantry and thats why on the Western Front there was nothing but shit). And how will you make the physics in the game make the cart flip?

AWI era isn't my specialty, but in the Napoleonic era, the standard infantry cartridge pouch held 36-60 rounds.

Not sure why you'd want to encourage melee even more. It's already too common in NW.

Supply carts are the worst idea ever quite frankly as well as being extremely unrealistic. In NW there is just about the right balance of melee and shooting. Why throw that out the window?

And I really think just two factions would be best, at least for the start, I also think native Americans would make an excellent partisan unit.

Not really a balance of melee and shooting nowadays, its all just shooting and point blanking in public play, giving less ammunition to the player however, like 15-20 rounds would limit that though.

I'm talking about events. Never seen much interest in public play myself.

In public play people will just take cartridges from the dead.

In events, I've never seen a regiment firing more then 15 rounds.

I like the idea of carts and think you should implement it.
Maybe you could remove the option to pick up cartridges
so ammo carts would be needed.

Btw, are you thinking of adding the netherlands in this mod?
