How about removing the standard bearer for the Native Americans? It seems a bit odd to me they would be carrying a big flag to battle, European style.

Thats good!
Just need the bloody SDK now.
what's SDK?
How about adding a Town Watch unit?
Basically, its a unit all factions have (with variations) which are basically police. In actual combat, they are bad, but, when in settlements, they have the garrison bonus that dragoons have.
I noticed that many factions don't have dragoons for example, which makes some factions harder to repress some cities, especially the big ones. This would fix that but giving no edge in combat.
Don't know if this has been brought up, but the British Line infantry units are lacking in, flavour, certain ranger units carried tomahawks and could go toe to toe with thenatives in most conditions. They also seem to have a fairly odd formation, perhaps a new formation could be made for them? Kinda like the horde formation in Rome?
Line infantry, I just don't know here, they feel too unwieldy some times, and far too maleable at others. They clearly need to be slowed down, alot, as does cavalry, and to allow for some use of tactical skill, the accuracy of muskest needs to be reduced, range increased and morale increased. I have seen infantry march towards a cannon emplacement with the intent of dislodging the guns, only to see them run after the first few shots.
Also, is there some kind of bonus for marching in column? Could there be one? If this was allowed for then lines could be slowed down in speed utterly, as per real life, and allow for more tactical possibilities upon the field.
I think late light infantry get the skirmish formation which is essentially everyone spread out in a not so neat formation so it may be possible. Personally I think seeing natives in line formation is rather odd. If they are a musket or archer unit, fine, but an all mele unit....I don't think so.:book:
As for the tomahawks, this may be possible. I've been reading that the game has two or three slots for weapons, a primary and secondary. So if I'm right, it could be possible to mod the secondary weapon slot to to a tomahawk, so when they are in close quarters combat, they switch from muskets (primary) to tomahawk (secondary).
Hi! I really wonder what does vanilla campaign means? I searched on the internet and here but couldn't find any answer :D :oops:
