One of the most enjoying thing about the total war series, for me, was the battle mode. Here, my usual tactic was to enjoy a bit of fire exchange while the main bulk of my troops were getting in position. Then I would engage in hand to hand, flanking here and there, etc and that would be it.
With ETW, I am having a bit of difficulty getting my head around the new systems of guns, etc and standing around firing at everybody. So, can everybody provide some battles tips, how you play the battles, etc for the game. Let me start by asking a few questions to get going...
Does hiding in woods have an effect of your firing? i.e can all of your troops fire off, and you get the advantage of cover? It goes the same with building.
When should I engage in hand to hand?
Friendly fire, if I engage troops in H2H, should I get the other troops to stop firing on the engage unit?
Calvary, in MTW2, they were great for flank attacks, but ETW their role is more of mopping up withdrawing troops. Has anyone use them to better effect?
Rank deep? any thoughts? fire rate?
I know this seems an open ended thread, but I really like to get some input on how people transition from MTW2 to ETW.
