New French preview

I wonder if pipers and fifers can be added by modding.

Imagine: Highlander units with pipes and UK grenadier units marching to the tune of British Grenadiers March!!!

I am getting goosebumps just thinking about it.

I wonder what makes the music start? Is it bound to the unit, so that when they start walking it starts up? I

If it is like that, then modding them would be a snap.

Damn your eyes, you didn't mention the Red River Rebellion!

Excuse me, but I was deliberetly trying to discuss conflicts outside of North America. I hope you forgive me. Please . Besides, while I am not an expert on Canadian history, I am somewhat familiar with the Red River Rebellion. But if I had included it, I would have had to include all the nasty Indian Wars in the American west. And that would have ruined the point.

- Trade agreements increase relations over time.
- Scotland and Ireland will be prone to rebellion at the beginning, especially Scotland, and will be able to form new nations.
- Trade routes colour coded to indicate status.
- You can appoint generals from your most experienced units!

- Loading is much faster, except when there's a town involved.
- They saw 4x4 multiplayer going on.
- You can demand the surrender of a beseiged town before battle.
- The lack of sound in the demo was due to a missing file ... but there won't be pipes or fifes.
- They will be working a set of modding tools.
- Rumours of an expansion based on Robert Lee's battles; speculation about a Napoleonic or a Civil War expansion.

I am very very glad to hear that, no more having to fight tiny enemy armies by marching my full stack through narrow city streets, just because Autoresolve would give me disproportionate casualties. Excellent news!

It's only excellent news if the AI will use it. I have given factions down to their last city in Med 2 plenty of hances to become my vassal or take a ceasefire but theu refuse. Often when I have a giagantic army sitting outside their gates. Let's hope the AI is smarter this time around.

GRAPPLES! YAY!!!
All the other small details (eg towns can surrender) are nice too-they help fill the game out and make it that much more enjoyable.

Does anyone actually know about the Red River Rebellion?

not a thing, care to enlighten us?

[A Very Super Market]

Well gosh, not wikipedia or anything.

Its a rebellion led by opressed Metis (French-native mix) in short. But search it up for more detailed info.
