I have a small request. Will it be possible to replace a Marine skin on the appropriate in new patch?
Now in NTW there are Marines from ETW (British marines from middle 18th century, recoloured for all factions). I would like to play as Marines from Napoleonic Era. :)
In the pre-release screenshots there are correctly marines:

Reagrds,

Another interesting addition would for the Marines to actually form landing parties for raids on your enemies coastline, as was done during the era. Could I daresay having the ships' companies available for cutting out expeditions of enemy ships along with the Marines would be a companionable feature? There is nothing quite like depriving your enemy of some of his vessels to confound him or her.
Having a higher level dock should open up a marine unit for recruitment, and then they can have special properties like being able to land on a shore with full movement points (where others have to dock).
I think burning ports kind-of simulates landing parties, though they never defend them. Since ships can not be made to interact with shore with this engine it is unlikely that they could have real landing parties.
They would be kind of small and puny compared to a battalion of infantry anyway. If you want to do it just put a few troops on your ships. That works too, and requires no mods or long waits from CA.
I like the idea very much. I just don’t think we will see it any time soon.
