Where do you download the rank fire mod?
The Total War community has to be the only gaming community to be so excited for a game released in a week that we have to mod the demo.
We are industrious fanatics with far too much modding talent and time on our hands :laugh4:. We're probably also the only gaming community that manage to release mods literally within minutes of the game going gold.:2thumbsup:Quote:

Well I wanted to test the therory of 2000 grenades flying at men. well I couldn't get all of them to throw but will try closer next time. I ran out of time and need to go to sleep so will try again tomorrow.

Oh it was 2000 men when I started but I had to kill some men crossing the river and looks like I lost 500 of them so far lol.
I can't wait see (and play) the first ETW mods.:yes::beam:
At a quick glance I see eight cannon balls flying at your men. Looks like you are lucky to still have 1500 when you saved…
:laugh4:
To use a mod, you have to unpack and then mod the files yourself. Its not easy yet. I can't even get the files unpacked.
If you do have so many grenades thrown can you post a picture because it's something I can't miss.:yes::beam:Quote:

Probably about 200-300 nades falling on those poor guys. I had my men stand right next to the enemy in a hous and in an open field and they all wouldn't fire. Maybe I need to increase the range I don't know. Anyways I found cannon balls to kill more of my men then grape shot when up close.

Just another cool image.

This shows no unit cap big or small.
I did some more testing and the game would not load with more then 9000 soldiers in one unit.
I also played as the Americans but it was a real buggy battle.

First off I could not select any of my units except for Ctrl+A. Second most of the British army did not "spawn" at the same location they normally do. They were much closer.
I let the British attack me and they crossed the river with 2 units of infantry first to do some skirmishing. Then the sent all of their cavalry and one tried to go for my cannons but got routed. Then the sent every soldier across the river except for a few men. I killed them all pretty easily but the 5 units that "spawned" at their normal spots didn't move even after shooting them. I figured I would send all my my across to engage in melee. Well they held off and killed/routed all my units except for my artillery. I brought up my cannons to finish them off.
Some of the unit cards were blank so it obviously wasn't meant to be played. Plus I couldn't select the units other then all of them by Ctrl+A.
Oh and my avatar is a raccoon because my nickname is cooner.
With the range of grenades, I doubt the last rank could even hit the enemy.
Hey thank you for this. That was some pretty fun stuff although playing as the British the Americans are too spread apart.Quote:

Use them as ammo! Tell them to try and hit the enemy with musket fire as they fly through the air, and get a couple with the bayonet when they hit the ground. :2thumbsup:
Kamekazie cannons!:laugh4:
I seem to remember people asking about whether naval battles will be all-water, and I just came across this screenshot on the Steam page: http://store.steampowered.com/screen...5618/?size=800
While obviously if you fight close to land you will see it. Just like in land battles if you fight close to water you can see it too.Quote:
