This looks amazing can’t wait for it to be finished

[@mrsherman2906]

Pretty hype up for this. Keep up the good work!

[@victord4662]

Wow, this is really impressive. Would be great if it will also have countermarch like in Medieval 2

[@chasecraley8659]

What is counter March I never really got into medieval

[@victord4662]

​@@chasecraley8659 The first row of men fire their weapons then go to the back of the line to reload. The second row steps forward and takes the place of the first and so on. You can find videos on KZbin for countermarch in Medieval 2. Also, the Battle of Rocroi from Alatriste (again, it can be found on KZbin) gives a good depiction of pike & shot warfare of the period.

@@victord4662 ok so like the fire advance from napoleon that makes sence

@Chase Craley Do not forget the Swedish salvee or Salvo where they would half a Salvo half of the musket block firing at once or a full Salvo firing all at once. Very devistating but then you have the problem of half or a full musket block with un loaded wepons quickly reloading. Which is why they did fore by introduction fire and advance fire in extrituction, fire and retreat and fire by rank in the steadfast where each rank takes their turn advancing to where the sergent was standing wait for the order present your peice...give fire retire second rank March to the Ford March present you price give fire and so on. These methods of fire were more commonly used to insure that a good portion of your musket block.haf loded wepons protecting the ones who were reloading while at the same.time.keeping us a sustained rate of fire at the enemy. What I would like to see on the musketeers unit icion is not only the ammunition bar but another bar showing how much slow match you had left and the slowmatch bar slowly counts down as a typical length of slowmatch was 5-6 feet in length and had the burn rate of one foot an hour or so. For argument sake you would need four 6 foot lengths of slowmatch for a full day of burn time.

great work !

[@Busson09]

Nice

[@nsawatchlistbait289]

Wow

[@cole8834]

Is there difficulty in making all ranks (except reloading) move up at once?

[@kagtkalem7115]

Nice adapting this formation from ETW but it is fairly ineffective. By the time 3rd rank fires, 1st rank have already finished reloading

[@liszarezo3658]

Total war Napoleon based on Shogun 2? Shogun 2 is based on Napoleon (sometimes use the same models), in game code should be some helpfull asets for you.

[@LordOfWar_sos]

This is pretty impressive for such an early build. Hopefully you're still working on the mod for Napoleon as well? Best of luck.

Hope the Napoleon one dies and never gets worked on
