    Default Re: CA requests for next patch:

    Some changes for comfort and history:

    1. If I click on a unit in a battle it should be highlighted on the minimap. If I click a unit also the small flag (I find it impossible to play with the big unit flag symbols) should move up and down. The movement should be faster and more explicite than it is the case now.

    2. It should be possible to speed up actions on the campaign map like in RTW and M2TW. One time I had to look more or less patiently to 6 stacks of one Mughal unit each crawling slowly one after the other over the map to try to sap a small town of mine, only to be caught up and annihilated by my 8-unit-stack near the town every time. I was near to bite into my tastatur.

    3. Fortresses are really broken. The construction is silly and unhistorical and defence is worse the bigger the fortress is. Path finding is problematic for the defenders. The cannons of the forts are more or less useless because of the bold rashes of the attackers and their ninja like hooking and roping. Poor Vauban and Montalhembert, if they only had known the utter weakness of their silly creations... I plead for better defence for fortresses.

    4. Tell the AI that walls are not always good. I once had a battle when I was caught up by the AI where only the reinforcements of the AI attacked (of course they appeared in my back) but the main stack was hiding in houses and behind walls shattered over a huge part of the map. I was able to destroy many of the AI units one after the other with howitzers and light infantry sniping without resistance. (Nevertheless I lost the battle to my great surprise, perhaps because too many AI units were still spread over the field when the timer extinguished? I was not very pleased.)

    5. Please take rang firing away from the tech tree. It was an old fire mode even at the beginning of our period. Let all units be able to fire by rang. Make it less effective like it was in reality. Add perhaps instead the iron ramrod to have at least one of the real innovations of the period in the tech.

    The queen commands and we'll obey
    Over the Hills and far away.
    (perhaps from an English Traditional, about 1700 AD)

    Drum, Kinder, seid lustig und allesamt bereit:
    Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner! Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!
    (later chorus -containing a wrong regimental name for the Bayreuth-Dragoner (DR Nr. 5) - of the "Hohenfriedberger Marsch", reminiscense of a battle in 1745 AD, to the music perhaps of an earlier cuirassier march)
