What unit stats are unique to each faction?

There's one other important stat missing: reload skill. Very important.

Just a note: Some of these bonuses seem small but are very good in actual game play.

Sweden gets a bonus to cavalry unit size (+15 troops per unit)
This seems to be minor but it makes a HUGE difference in my games as it allows Sweden to gain Cav superiority. It allows you to smash the enemies cavalry and then use your cav to smash their infantry. I know a lot of folks have had trouble with using Cavalry, but I had some incredible wins with Sweden vs the AI by rolling up the line with my Heavy Cav.

Also, Russian line is weak. It doesn't seem to bad until you start seeing the terrible losses of men you take while the lines play "volleyball" against one another. As each of your soldiers dies, things get worse and worse. After a short time it doesnt seem bad... 105 vs 115... then 90 vs 110 ... then its getting bad ... 70 vs 105 .. 50 vs 100 etc ... broken vs 95... which then means that 95 is now unloading on another one of your units... ouchie.

ie - Small difference lead to big outcomes

There is a famous quote somewhere about howe victory in war is often decided by the accumulation of tiny advantages..

No, Sweden gets 33% more men per unit in cavalry. Unit sizes, mate.

Russian line infantry really should be better at melee than they are. CA just doesn't seem to have any love for the Ruskies.

Nah. They ran so fast from the battlefield of Narva that CA didnt have time to measure their capabilities

I'm sure I don't need to remind anybody that Sweden lost that war.

Due to a nit-wit king, not cowardly soldiers mind you...

Well on large it is 60 normal cav troops instead of 45 (15 extra) and 75 dragoons instead of 60 (15 extra) so not really 33 percent

**A Very Super Market** · 04-02-2009, 23:34

I think dragoons are a special case. On huge, 60-man cavalry units are 80 for Swedish. Same with small, and normal.

Dragoons don't count. :P

And I did my post by the custom battle screen, no experience bonuses. So, you are probably tired.
