Demo units

I was going to rant about Grenadiers being too cheap, but then realized that they only 45 men...

Some thoughts:


A) Ships are too cheap. A 2nd class Ship of the line having less upkeep than an infantry unit? Two 6th rate ships costing less than a single line infantry? (2x 140 vs = 1x 300)

B) There should be more spread in land unit prices between between regular and elite units. If the elite units are noticable more expensive, it brings up an interesting gameplay choice: "Do I go for class or mass?". At the moment I can't think of many reasons to build a lower quality unit as long as better ones are available for almost the same price.

Oh, just go for mass. They're paid to die; it's all they're good for.

I don't mind how its done so lang as boats are more expensive. If i remember correctly Britian could only aFford a certain amount of First raters and nearly bankrupted themselves trying to build more.

H.M.S Victory cost £50,000,000 to build. That is a fantastic amount of money and CA had better represent it in game.

Yeah, the ships are ridiculously cheap...

What I found surprising is that the firepower of a ship is seemingly based entirely on the amount of guns carried. A ship with roughly 1/3 the guns of a ship of the line will have roughly 1/3 the firepower, not taking in to account that the smaller ship would carry smaller calibre cannon.

I really hated it when in RTW (And M2, come to think of it) no matter how many times you fought them, new ships would always pop up. I remember having a game where Carthage had completely surrounded sicily with admirals, and I couldn't kill them because they just wouldn't die. Lets hope ETW doesn't have this.
