The tactical gameplay balance in the demo

[Oleander Ardens]

Thanks for the kind replies.

Great news, especially on the infantry speed...

a) Did you try a shootout between skirmishers with muskets and rifles? I read that skirmishers can deploy stakes - when, how fast and how large are those things. Screenshots are very welcome

b) Can you deploy skirmishers in a loose, open formation? This would enable them as in history to engage artillery and line infantry with fewer casualities.

c) So Horse artillery has a large footprint (or horseprint) but how fast is it compared to the infantry and other cavalry? The light guns were often used in conjunction with cavalry to break isolated squares and for this task they would need some speed.

Thanks a lot

BTW: Hussars should be fast light cavalry suited to irregular warfare...
