Drum Sounds

[therifleman]

Well I've just started playing the demo and have noticed that when you zoom in close to an infantry section you can hear the drums playing. It's basically just a steady drumroll that the drummer keeps playing. Am I the only person who feels that the drum roll is a bit bland? I mean, couldn't they spice it up a bit by making the drummer play some sort of marching beat that isn't a continuous drumroll? I think it could go a long way as far as improving the game's ambience.

Rifleman isn't have a problem with the sound being buggy; he's just saying that the drums are a little boring. I sort of agree - some tunes would be pretty cool. However, they'd probably get repetitive, too.

What bothers me more is that the units with a trumpeter only rarely have him play anything, but the animation has him always holding the trumpte to his mouth, which is weird.

I hope that gets fixed. I felt so let down when I saw the dude lift the trumpet to his mouth, only to let out soundless air.

EDIT: I have no problem with the drums, btw. I'm just glad they included them in the game at all. I do hope the Scots get bagpipes, though.

I didn't even notice any drummers or drum rolls

Front of the line next to the officer and standard bearer. I hope they do add some bagpipes and trumpets too. Although considering there is a highlander unit and all the have is drums, makes me wonder if they aren't included.

Someone menttioned a trumpeter though, is that with the cavalry? I never noticed one with the infantry.

It would definetely be cool to hear some tunes while marching, not a constant drumroll. Still, either way it's pretty cool and might be changed with different units and the like
