If the unpacker is released with Empires then I might be able to reskin a few units.

I hope we don't need an unpacker, that really annoyed me with M2TW.

One thing I saw mentioned that disturbed me was that troops unloaded from sea have no movement.

Perhaps the new system does not calculate reaming movement points of the force any longer. This is good for the naval movement but not really accurate.

I would much rather see landed units have a small amount of movement even if it is something of an exploit, than to have none at all.

6 months is a long time. Movement has never reflected real life distances and giving units some small amount of movement is better than none at all.

I guess we will have to see how it plays in the game but it may be something worth looking into.

I'd like to ask if we can add Switzerland into the game as a faction? Because recent reviews suggest it is no longer in there for some reason.

If for some reason it isnt, I don't see why not.

For those of you following this, I have been tinkering around with what I can access in the demo.

If nothing else I should be able to get rid of some of the scripting on the land battle.

IDEA:

Increase the unit sizes (for the ultra setting) to match that of a traditional battalion of the C18th.

For infantry at least...

For Cav could make these Companies.

Unit sizes will definately be modified. I looooove big units.

I'd like to ask for Moldavia and Wallachia to be added as minors, ottoman protectorates of course

Any idea if modding will become possible in the future pevergreen? Will modders work out how to edit files or or CA going to have to step in?

It will suck if modding stays impossible for long.

It does seem like we have to wait for mod tools.

I tried a bit of modding, but it deleted about 7gig of game files...so...

Hi everybody,

my 2 cents concerning map expansion (Australia and the like):
There should be the possibility in the game to do at least what really happened in history (until 1799 or later if the timeframe is expanded). This includes Portugal in Brazil and on the African coast, Spain in Peru, the Dutch in South Africa, etc. (more resarch needed on my part here...

)

Modelling an "empty" Australia shouldn't be a problem considering ETW apparently allows for "wilderness" territory which belongs to no specific province but can be crossed on foot if need be (see North America). So some small seperated costal provinces where settlements were belonging to a "native Australians" faction with limited population growth possibilities seem reasonable. Same for every other unsettled area, i.e. Africa, far South America, ect.. Asia obviously is a different matter...
