Great vid, actually started to use some depth and reserves after a disscussion with you on the server. Good to see this kind of information available to everyone and in a more comprehensive way than discord messages. Keep up the good work brother

Yeah sometimes seeing something is more helpful than screenshots or typing it out lol

Learned something new! The moving of the unit cards to make it easier to differentiate them is pretty smart!

it can be helpful for sure if you have an idea in your mind what you want to do with them.

Indeed. My clanmate Filipe tends to raise his squarable units a little higher than the rest.

For the units on road part one other way to do it is to take up to 3 units (according to their size) and place them in very thin columns side to side and all facing forward. you have to be quite precise cuz if a unit isn't on the road it will be slower and lose ground on those still on the road. works well with art as well.

18:00 I'm surprised that the game designers thought grenadiers should be such mediocre shooters, just because they were good melee fighters. Realistially, they were superior to line troops in ranged as well as in close combat. Their tall stature gave them an advantage in loading their muskets, and it even gave them slightly longer range, as the bullet's trajectory began at a higher height. Grenadier training didn't emphasise bayonet over musketry. They trained both of those with equal or higher diligence as all the other troop types. There was nothing a line infantryman could do, that a grenadier couldn't do better. I guess they thought rock-paper-scissors is more fun than realisic gameplay. It isn't. It only dumbs down tactics.

1 Word, balancing.

@@tea6289 Well, yeah, of course they did it for balancing, that much is obvious. But why did they choose to balance it in this lame, gamey and unrealistic way? They could have gone the realistic way, increasing the grenadiers' cost and limiting their recruitment capacity to 1 grenadier unit for every 4 other infantry units. Historical wargames shouldn't be gamey.

@@Timrath Personally I agree with you and I'm always in favor of realism. But the reality is that no other mods really come close in realism despite it's shortcomings. There are realistic mechanics/design choices in place in this mod that are absent in all other mods, and even the majority of Total War titles to begin with. No other mod thus far has actually made cavalry have to gain speed before charging effectively. Every other "realistic" mod out there has cavalry able to just instantly charge no matter the distance. Melee and morale in general is far more like it was in real life than it is in any other mod. Melee's in NTW3 do not last as long as they do in vanilla, it's very decisive and quick with one side usually breaking rather quickly. This is far more true-to-life than the slugfests that were vanilla melee engagements, with units being able to sustain catastrophic casualties before breaking. This mod is unique, in my experience in that it tries to be both competitive and realistic. This leads to some interesting choices that simultaneously are both realistic and unrealistic at the same time. Like light cavalry in this mod, for example. The way line of sight works is very gamey in that units have varying line of sights. As opposed to vanilla, which despite having line of sight you can usually just see a large portion of the enemy's army from the start of the game. Light cavalry in vanilla as a result aren't used as reconnaissance/screens like they are in NTW3. Using unrealistic means to achieve realistic results.
