...is a KILLER. :whip:
I was doing some quick battles to test different graphic setting combos and I did one with:
- Late units
- 2 Prussian Grenadier
vs.
- 1 Russian Guards
The Grenadiers used platoon fire and just murdered the Guards. It was not even close. Very cool animations too, as the fire rolled from left to right and back again in one continuous process.
I have a feeling I'm gonna make getting this via the tech tree a priority.
Seeing your units utterly destroy the enemy with fancy firing drills really makes teching up worthwhile :2thumbsup:.Quote:

The apple was a bit bigger than we though eh?
My Newton got himself killed in a duel of honor. Thats what happens when a mild-mannered 60-year-old scientist attempts to win a swordfight...Quote:

England is famous for its Gentlemen. It's the sophisticated atmosphere and the Earl Grey tea :2thumbsup:.Quote:

Heh they should have intergrated the famous tea as a trait, or a special Britain-only resource. Heck it should be a moral boosting tech.
I'll have my butler duel you. Don't go in for duelling much myself, its terribly passe these days. :clown:Quote:

You see what happened when the Americans gave up on tea for coffee…RTI…rotten tea isn’t it?:clown:
:focus:
I would just love to see the Platoon Fire!
Is Advancing Fire a tech or does it go with Platoon Fire?
My game still isn’t here…:cry:
Advancing fire is a tech, I havent got to the point where I have any researched, but from what I've read in the descriptions, advancing fire just has 1 rank shoot, then stand still and reload, second rank moves past shoots then reloads, 3rd rank moves forward etc
I've been wondering about advancing fire. Does it turn on automatically? Suppose I want them to just charge? I have it researched but haven't seen it in action yet.
It's a special ability that toggles via a button press on the UI. The same as melee mode.Quote:

This is a very interesting topic and only makes me want the game even more. :wall:
Just as a side note, I am not sure the post went through the UK.Quote:

It would be much easier to send it there, I just have questions about speed now.
Now About Advancing Fire….???
Does anyone know the answer to my last question?
IIRC advancing fire (is that the name of the tech? i thought it was something like "Fire by rank" :S) is the last military tech on its tree. Not easy to get to. edit: the point being its hard to get that far and post here at the same time.
Advance fire is its own tech. It's on the penultimate level.
